Job Introduction
The White House School Website
The White House School offers a specialist learning provision for children from the ages of 6 to 11. We emphasise the development of core academic understanding, encourage creativity, celebrate outdoor learning, and promote the growth of essential life skills. We aim to establish a safe, creative, and vibrant environment where children feel challenged and supported in their learning, achieving high levels of wellbeing and academic success. We aim to nurture and develop mutual respect, tolerance, teamwork, perseverance, kindness, and good manners.
We are seeking a dedicated and compassionate Attendance Support Leader to join our team. The purpose of this role is to provide targeted support for children experiencing emotional-based school avoidance (EBSA), ensuring they are effectively re-engaged with education through carefully planned and personalised transition strategies. The post-holder will take a lead on monitoring attendance across the school, identifying patterns of concern, and coordinating timely interventions. A key aspect of the role involves working closely with families to build trust, offer support, and facilitate communication between home and school. Additionally, the Attendance Support Leader will oversee our nurture (off-site) provision, ensuring it provides a safe, structured, and therapeutic environment that supports pupils’ social, emotional, and academic needs, and promotes a successful return to school.
We would love to hear from you if you are confident, resilient, have excellent communication skills, an eye for detail and share our passion for creating the best possible opportunities and outcomes for our students.
Equal Opportunities
The White House School will seek to ensure that all existing and potential employees and pupils are given equal opportunities for employment and education. It is committed to the elimination of unlawful or unfair discrimination on the grounds of sex, age, marital status, colour, race, nationality or other ethnic or national origin, disability, sexuality, trade union membership or activity and religious background.
The school will seek to ensure that no applicant for employment or education is disadvantaged by conditions or requirements which cannot be justified. The school aims to provide an open, welcoming and safe environment for all its pupils, employees, and visitors.
Commitment to Safeguarding
The White House School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and we expect all staff to share this commitment. This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974; pre-employment checks will be conducted; references will be sought, and successful candidates will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and other relevant checks with statutory bodies.
We comply with the Disclosure & Barring Service (DBS) code of practice and have a written policy on the recruitment of ex-offenders, both of which are available on request. If you are shortlisted, you will be required to declare any relevant convictions, adult cautions or other matters which may affect your suitability to work with children. As a result of amendments to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (exceptions order 1975) in 2013 and 2020, some minor offences are now protected (filtered) and should not be disclosed to potential employers, and employers cannot take these offences into account.
No CVs will be accepted, and an application form must be completed prior to interview.
