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. 

Information about the school

About Leigh Academy Rainham: In September 2021, we opened our doors to the 180 founding students of our co educational comprehensive school for 11-18 year olds. Already oversubscribed, our new school is firmly set to be a beacon of excellence for secondary education in Medway. The wellbeing and success of each individual child is at the heart of everything and we are driven by the belief that it is our role to ensure all pupils develop an appreciation of the limitless possibilities ahead of them. Every learner is entitled to an enriching, varied and personalised education; delivered through a broad and balanced curriculum that provides challenge, irrespective of need, starting point or background. It is our ambition that in our highly inclusive setting, all our students will flourish, becoming inquiring, compassionate and culturally aware young adults.

Our strong learning community works together and shares the value of collaboration; every member of our academy family works together to achieve success, cultivating a strong sense of belonging. Our belief in human-scale education, delivered through our college model, ensures every one of our students is known and valued. Strong pastoral care is at the heart of our academy and we place great importance on building strong partnerships with parents and carers. Excellent communication and relationships with parents and carers is a cornerstone of a child’s academic success and personal development, hence the Academy is wholly committed to fostering strong partnerships with our families.

Working in a brand new school is a unique opportunity. A flexible approach with a can-do ethos is required, as is drive, grit and boundless enthusiasm. We will be looking to recruit a staff body that has a multitude of talents to enable us to provide a rich academic and co-curricular offer from the outset and look forward to hearing what additional skills, talents and interests you could bring to a role at the Academy. A sense of humour is also essential!

We are an inspirational learning community, with a traditional approach to discipline and broad, innovative digital curriculum, underpinned by the principles of the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme. Through the implementation of our curriculum students mature into reflective and resilient learners who can work both independently and collaboratively to overcome challenges, are confident critical thinkers and master lifelong learning and digital skills.

'At Leigh Academy Rainham students flourish, becoming inquiring, compassionate and culturally aware young adults. We will work together to embed the essential skills, knowledge and attributes needed to be highly successful in achieving their own personal goals, compassionate members of our community and leaders in tomorrow’s world.' - Alex Millward, Principal
