Working under the direction of the Trust Attendance Lead and Trust Safeguarding and Inclusion Lead, you will liaise closely with school attendance, safeguarding, pastoral and inclusion teams, as well as external agencies, to ensure that support is coordinated, timely and effective. Experience of working with children, young people and families, managing complex cases and building positive relationships with families is essential.

We can offer:

Competitive salaries and pay progression

Access to extensive professional development opportunities

Great benefits including:

The opportunity to make a Trust-wide difference to attendance and engagement

Generous pension scheme

A Cycle to Work scheme

Competitive terms and conditions of employment

This is an exciting opportunity to join the Central Team and contribute directly to improved attendance, engagement and educational outcomes for children and young people. We are committed to staff development and all staff receive a full induction programme.

The role will work across ALT Trust schools and will require travel between school sites and family homes, including home visits and outreach work where required.

As ALT Trust continues to flourish, your contribution and commitment will be part of that future. For further information regarding the role, please contact Pauline Wileman at [email removed].
