As a successful school in south east Northumberland with good standards of teaching and behaviour and a strong commitment to improvement, we believe passionately that every student should be enabled to succeed in all aspects of school life.

Working under the supervision of the Assistant Headteacher, you will work to monitor and improve pupil attendance and their engagement in their education, ensuring accurate and timely data is available to meet internal and external needs. You will work  with parents and students, along with the Local Authority Educational Welfare Officer. 

With at least 5 A*-C GCSEs including English and Maths or an equivalent level qualification in a relevant discipline, you will be confident in handling a range of data and using IT systems

to analyse and report information to a variety of audiences. Previous experience of working in a education environment and using school-based IT systems, particularly Bromcom, will be an advantage.

As well as technical skills, you will also need to act sensitively and with tenacity when required to deal with situations that pupils and their families find challenging.

This post is for 37 hours per week working term time plus 5 days. The working hours will typically be 8.30am to 4.30pm Monday to Friday, although some flexibility may be needed from time to time. You would also be eligible for membership of the Local Government Pension Scheme. 

 Visits to the school are welcome and encouraged, please call Richard Goodman, Head of School on 0191 237 1505 to arrange.

We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all staff to share this commitment. An enhanced criminal records check is required for this post.
