Admissions & Attendance Officer

Shears Green Junior School is seeking a highly organised, approachable and proactive Attendance & Admissions Officer to join our friendly team on a part-time basis (25 hours per week, preferably mornings), term-time only (39 weeks per year).

This is a varied and rewarding role that sits at the heart of the school community. You will be responsible for overseeing the day-to-day administration of pupil attendance and admissions, ensuring accurate record-keeping, monitoring attendance patterns, supporting families to improve attendance and punctuality, and managing the admissions process from initial enquiries through to pupil entry and transition.

Working closely with the Headteacher, School Business Manager, Family Liaison Staff, parents and external agencies, you will play a key role in promoting excellent attendance, supporting safeguarding processes, and providing a positive experience for prospective and current families. You will use systems such as Arbor and Studybugs to maintain records, produce reports and provide valuable data insights that help inform interventions and school planning.

The successful candidate will be an excellent communicator with strong administrative and organisational skills, a keen eye for detail and the ability to handle sensitive information with professionalism and discretion. Experience of working in a school environment and knowledge of attendance or admissions processes would be advantageous, although full training will be provided.

Most importantly, you will share our commitment to upholding the values of Kindness, Curiosity, Courage and Honesty, helping to create a welcoming, inclusive and supportive environment where every child can be the best version of themselves.
