Position Details

Full-Time Role (37 Hours)

This position will primarily focus on collaborating with schools and local services to enhance attendance rates. Responsibilities include conducting termly attendance meetings for schools within your designated area, facilitating communication and support for schools and Family Hubs, which involves organizing training sessions and attending relevant meetings.
