Our school is part of the Blackdown Education Partnership, we believe that our schools should sit at the heart of our communities; that there are no limits to what our children and young people can achieve; and that they should be great places to work and learn.

We are incredibly proud of our Trust and the schools within it. Strong partnerships, collaboration and generosity are the bonds which underpin our collective mission to provide great education for all children no matter what their starting point or their background.

The Castle School requires an ambitious and dedicated Attendance Officer to support students in achieving their full academic potential by promoting excellent attendance.

We welcome candidates with transferable skills from other industries or backgrounds. If you have relevant strengths such as communication, attention to detail and a willingness to learn, then we would love to hear from you. Full training will be provided.

This isn't a back-office role. You'll be a visible, proactive presence, and a key figure in ensuring our students unlock their full potential. You'll be engaging directly with students, parents, and staff, driving positive change and celebrating every attendance triumph.

This is an interesting and varied role, based in the heart of the school in the Pastoral Hub. We’re looking for someone who is highly organised with excellent administrative skills, with proven knowledge of Microsoft packages. You’ll need to be an excellent communicator, both written and verbal, with strong attention to detail, and ideally have experience of working in a busy office or a school environment.
