Classroom Talent is currently recruiting for an Attendance Officer / School Administrator to join a secondary school based in Luton.

The role is to start ASAP on a long term basis through to December initially, and may extend to July 2027 with possible permanent role.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with previous school administration experience who is confident communicating with parents, students and staff.

Previous experience specifically within school attendance is desirable but not essential – we are particularly interested in candidates who already understand how a busy school office operates and would have experience working in a School admin role.

The Role

As an Attendance Officer, you will support the school with the day-to-day management of pupil attendance, including:

• Monitoring and recording daily pupil attendance and absences
• Making daily telephone calls to parents and carers regarding student absence
• Following up unexplained absences
• Updating attendance records and school systems accurately
• Communicating with parents via telephone and email
• Liaising with pastoral teams, teachers and senior leaders
• Producing attendance information and reports when required
• Supporting with general school administration
• Helping the school identify and follow up attendance concerns

About you

Previous experience working within a school administration position is essential.

You should also:

• Previous experience working with a school in a admin capacity
• Be confident making telephone calls to parents and carers
• Have strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Be organised and able to work in a busy school environment
• Have excellent attention to detail
• Be confident using IT and school administration systems
• Be professional when dealing with sensitive or confidential information

Previous Attendance Officer experience would be an advantage, but isn't essential for someone with strong school administration experience.
