We’re always keen to connect with experienced and motivated Attendance Coordinators who are interested in opportunities within Further Education colleges across the Essex area.

This is a rewarding opportunity to play a key role in supporting learner success by monitoring attendance, identifying barriers to engagement, and implementing effective strategies to improve student participation and retention.

As an Attendance Coordinator, you’ll work closely with curriculum teams, student support services, and pastoral staff to ensure learners receive the support they need to attend regularly and succeed in their studies.

• Identifying trends and patterns of absence and implementing appropriate interventions
• Following up on learner absences and attendance concerns
• Working closely with curriculum staff, tutors, and student services teams
• Supporting learners to overcome barriers affecting attendance and engagement
• Liaising with parents, carers, and external agencies where appropriate
• Maintaining accurate records and producing attendance reports
• Coordinating attendance improvement plans and learner support strategies
• Promoting learner retention, achievement, and positive outcomes
• Contributing to a supportive, inclusive, and student-focused environment

What We’re Looking For

• Previous experience in attendance, student services, learner support, administration, education, or a related field
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills
• Strong organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Experience working with data, reporting, and record-keeping systems
• A proactive and solution-focused approach
• Ability to engage and motivate learners from diverse backgrounds
• Experience within Further Education, schools, colleges, or educational settings is desirable

Why Consider an Attendance Coordinator Role?

• Opportunity to make a meaningful impact on learner success and wellbeing
• Varied role combining student support, data analysis, and stakeholder engagement
• Supportive and collaborative educational environments
• Opportunity to develop experience within student services and learner engagement
• Play a vital role in improving attendance, retention, and achievement
• Be part of a team dedicated to helping learners thrive

If you’re passionate about supporting learners and creating positive educational outcomes, we’d love to hear from you.
