Job Overview
About the academy
Outwood Academy Acklam, the first Outwood school in Teesside, has an enrolment of almost 1,200 students each academic year. In its most recent assessment, it was recognised as a GOOD school.
The academy is a vibrant and diverse 11–16 academy. Our exceptional academic and pastoral teams are here to provide you with the necessary tools to make a significant and lasting impact on students. The academy offers effective care and support for students, particularly those with special needs, and with a strong emphasis on academic achievement, it provides the perfect environment for anyone dedicated to empowering their students.
About The Role
We are seeking to appoint an energetic individual who will be responsible for operational and administrative support to promote whole-school attendance strategies in order to improve attendance levels and reduce persistent absence, in line with academy targets under the supervision of the Attendance Manager/Education Welfare Officer. The ideal candidate will be solution-focused and have excellent communication skills with the ability to motivate and engage our students and families. Home visits are required for this job role, so you will require a current UK driving licence and use of your own vehicle.
We place students at the centre of everything we do, with a focus on creating a culture of success, a positive climate for learning, and increased student attainment, achievement and social and emotional development. You must possess the skills and determination to make a significant difference to the lives of our students and our commitment to putting ‘Students First: Raising Standards and Transforming Lives’.
We believe that all support staff within our Family of Schools are key posts in terms of securing student success and achievement across a broad range of subjects and experiences.
