Are you looking for an exciting and rewarding new challenge, working at one of the top academies in London? Do you want to work alongside our senior team, becoming involved in many aspects of school life? If so, we have the perfect role for you The role Our new Attendance Officer will be joining a large team of data and pastoral administrative staff, and will work closely with our Heads of Year and pastoral SLT members. KAA is a larger than average secondary school, and we are a Single Academy Trust (as opposed to being part of a MAT), meaning we have more resources in-house than would typically be associated with this role. We are looking for someone who combines technical knowledge of how school databases work (we use SIMS, but are open to applicants who have used others), with strong interpersonal skills, and an ability to work directly with students, parents and staff. A typical day may see you working on school registers in the morning, and then meeting with Heads of Year, parents and social workers to discuss attendance contracts in the afternoon. Applicants who have worked as administrators in primary or secondary schools before, or held Local Authority roles in attendance or family liaison, would be well suited to this position. Equally, if you are someone with excellent IT skills, a passion for community education, and an ability to learn quickly, this could be the role for you. What you will bring You will be a positive person, with excellent organisation and communication skills. You will work effectively with people of different ages and backgrounds, and be an ambassador for the school. You will be reflective and able to learn and grow. And you will be committed to the school’s mission of addressing educational disadvantage and giving students the best possible start in life. What KAA offers The successful candidate will be joining a team that is firmly committed to making KAA one of the best academies in the UK. The value of being part of a great team should never be underestimated. Being a member of KAA means you will be joining a supportive and talented group of staff who will invest in your professional development. This role will be excellent preparation for your future career, wherever that may take you, and you will develop a range of transferable skills and competencies.
