We are excited to share that the Raleigh Education Trust is partnering with Nottingham City Council to offer attendance support across the city. Our programme is designed to align with the city's overall attendance strategy and comprehensive inclusion work. Studies have shown that building solid relationships is vital in improving attendance. In line with this initiative, Nottingham City Council is hiring family support officers (FSOs) who will collaborate with schools and alternative provision settings to support families facing persistent absence issues.

 

The Raleigh Education Trust works with children in the city who may face disengagement from mainstream education. Thanks to the efforts of the current Alternative Provision Taskforce, this project has positively impacted attendance and reduced persistent absence.

 

We are thrilled to announce that this project will expand across the city, allowing more schools and families to benefit from our efforts. This is your chance to join us and make a real difference in the lives of hundreds of families in the city. While qualifications and experience are helpful, our primary interest is in individuals passionate about creating change who are comfortable engaging children and young people and can work directly with communities in areas of high need throughout the city.

 

We are keen to talk to people who wish to join this new Attendance Taskforce for an initial 12-month programme. You will be supported by a team of child-focused professionals who are unwavering in their work to improve outcomes for children and young people at risk of falling out of the system across Nottingham City.

 

This post will always require access to a vehicle to work directly in communities across the city. Mileage will be paid at an agreed flat rate in arrears of signed mileage claims.

 

For an informal discussion about this exciting opportunity, please get in touch with our Executive Principal, Elizabeth Browne, at elizabethbrowne@raleightrust.org
