About Redbridge
Redbridge is an ambitious, diverse and exciting east-London borough. What we do is driven by changing our relationship with local people to support our vision. As a result, we’ve developed innovative ways to build our communities and transform our Council.
We’re one of the fastest growing parts of the country and the third most diverse London borough. Our communities are attracted by a mixture of excellent schools, relatively affordable housing, high-quality open space and rapid transport connections into the heart of the City.
We are looking for an ambitious, proactive and customer focused person who wants to work in partnership with schools and families, ensuring that children are able to access education and achieve their potential.
About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to work with schools and families to maximise school attendance for the benefit of children and their future success. You will provide a traded service to schools and be able to communicate effectively with parents and professionals to resolve issues affecting children’s access to education.
You will be purposeful in identifying and resolving problems and providing challenge where necessary. You will be confident about pursuing legal sanctions and acting as a witness in the event of proceedings.
Previous experience of working with children, young people and their families is required, preferably, but not exclusively, within an educational setting. You will need to be enthusiastic, committed to the values of education and be able to organise your work efficiently and effectively. Full supervision and training will be provided.
We welcome full or part time/ job share applicants and encourage applications from anyone with relevant experience. We are committed to supporting individual needs to ensure success in the role.
Successful applicants will be required to apply for an Enhanced Criminal Record Check from the Disclosure and Barring Service. The London Borough of Redbridge is committed to safeguarding children and vulnerable adults across the Borough. As such the provisions of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act relating to the non-disclosure of spent convictions do not apply to this job.
Interviews will be held on 7th February 2023.
