Southport Education Group is seeking to appoint two dedicated and motivated Attendance Officers to join the college group. These newly created cross-college roles will be central to supporting consistent tracking, monitoring and improvement of learner attendance across the organisation. Working collaboratively with colleagues, the Attendance Officers will take a proactive approach to contacting absent learners, identifying and removing barriers to engagement, and strengthening communication with parents and carers. This post is to support, monitor and improve attendance and punctuality for all 16-18 learners across Southport College and KGV Sixth Form College. The Attendance Officer will play a key operational role in driving high standards of attendance through daily monitoring, timely intervention and clear, consistent communication with students, parents/carers and staff. The role requires someone who can work quickly and accurately with College systems, confidently challenge poor attendance, identify patterns and trends, and ensure that attendance concerns are acted upon promptly in line with College policies and procedures. Particular attention will be given to learners identified as vulnerable and/or disadvantaged, ensuring that emerging attendance concerns are identified early and escalated appropriately. The post holder will work closely with curriculum teams, progress tutors and student services to ensure attendance issues are addressed effectively and consistently. This is an exciting opportunity to make a significant impact on learners' attendance, achievement and overall college experience across the Southport Education Group.
