Location: Laurence Jackson School/Huntcliff School
We are seeking to employ an Attendance Welfare Officer to work across two of the secondary schools in our trust. Laurence Jackson School is a larger than average 11-16 comprehensive school in the town of Guisborough and Huntcliff School is a smaller secondary school situated in Saltburn-by-the Sea. The school shares a site with Saltburn Primary School on a joint learning campus. Both schools have a wide-ranging intake, are inclusive in approach and are over subscribed for September 2025.
We are looking for an Attendance Welfare Officer who has real passion for supporting students and their families to engage well in school so that they are able to experience academic and social success. The successful candidate will join established attendance teams in both schools whose work is over seen by Senior Leaders. Typically, the postholder works 3 days a week at Laurence Jackson School and 1 day a week at Huntcliff with some flexibility to allow for parents’ availability to attend meetings.
The successful candidates must have:
• A calm, understanding and friendly personality
• Excellent communication skills
• A professional, nurturing and resilient approach
• The willingness to work flexibly and constructively as part of a team
• A hard-working approach
• A positive and caring ethos and working atmosphere
• Friendly children, eager to learn and achieve
• A committed, enthusiastic and supportive staff team
• Excellent support from the Governing Body, the staff and parents
• Opportunities for career development.
Applications should clearly outline why candidates want to work at Laurence Jackson School and what other attributes they have to offer to the wider school ethos should be included.
Application forms and further details are available on the school’s website:
www.laurencejackson.org or visit www.valt.org.uk
Please email your completed application form to firstname.lastname@example.org addressed to Mrs C Juckes, Headteacher.
