Advert

Leigh Academy Rainham has a fantastic opportunity to appoint an Attendance Officer who will join us from September 2023. Our successful candidate will be responsible for collecting and entering all attendance data using the management information system in the academy. Through the monitoring of the data, you will lead in the implementation of a range of strategies with key stakeholders, be responsible for helping to raise attendance and make a significant contribution to the ‘Every Child Matters’ outcomes. 

On a daily basis you'll be in contact with students, various members of staff, parents and external agencies - this is a busy and fast-paced role so we'd love to hear from candidates who are keen to be part of our collaborative and supportive environment.  

Due to the current size of our new Academy and fact that we will only have three year groups in September 2023, the successful candidate will also be expected to support the Main Office and Senior Leadership Team with a range of other administrative tasks to ensure the smooth running of the Academy on a daily basis. 

​​​​​​​​​​​This is a permanent opportunity working 37 hours per week, Term Time + 1 week inset with an actual salary of £17,881 - 19,665 per annum (£20,789 - £22,864 full time equivalent), commensurate with experience.

In addition, the Trust is responsible for one of the region’s biggest initial teaching training organisations, a large teaching school hub and is an accredited apprenticeship provider.

You are supported to undertake regular self-development to continue your professional development and hopefully progress further within the organisation.
