Attendance Coordinator

About the role:

For the Innovium College, we are looking for an attendance coordinator for 0.8–1 FTE.

The function starts this year at the J. Naberstraat location and will subsequently move along to the new location on the Flevostraat. This concerns a temporary appointment with the prospect of a permanent contract.

On the day itself, you are the first point of contact for absence: you call, register and report, and ensure that the mentor is always kept informed. In doing so, you work closely with the attendance coordinator at Flevostraat, mentors, student coordinators, the support coordinator and the site receptionist, within a clear pathway of roles and responsibilities

What will you do?

• Recording and monitoring all absences.
• Reporting (un)authorised absence, including being late.
• Contact parents/carers by telephone in the event of unexplained or unusual absence, and record the point of contact and status in Magister.
• Addressing truancy and lateness with pupils.
• Continuous monitoring of attendance throughout the school day.
• Act as a point of contact for students reporting sick.
• Ensuring that a pupil only goes home with the permission of parents/carers.
• In collaboration with the support team, ensure that pupils make up for any missed hours, in accordance with the binding arrangements for catching up agreed with their form tutor, teacher or attendance coordinator.
• Following the escalation procedure in the event of repeated absence: a warning email, a clarification meeting, a preventive report to the Compulsory Education Service and, where required by law, a report to the DUO Absence Desk.
• Recording instances of pupils being removed from the lesson in the Magister logbook and supervising pupils who have been removed from the classroom.
• You are thorough and consistent in registration and administration (Magister).

Who are you?

• You communicate clearly and respectfully with pupils, parents/carers and colleagues, even during difficult conversations.
• You are able to collaborate and coordinate effectively with mentors, pupil coordinators and the support team.
• You identify in a timely manner when absence points to underlying concerns and know how to escalate this in the appropriate way.
• You are resilient to stress and remain calm and consistent during busy times of the day.
• You have an eye for the importance of a connecting and trusting relationship with pupils.
• You are welcoming and friendly: you ensure that pupils, parents and colleagues feel welcome and heard.
• Our core values of empathy, creativity, curiosity and resilience are clearly reflected in your way of working.

What do we offer?

• A 0.8 – 1 FTE position at the J. Naberstraat location.
• A role within a clearly structured pathway of roles and responsibilities concerning attendance and absence.
• Close cooperation with the attendance coordinator on Flevostraat
• Close collaboration with a dedicated team of mentors, student coordinators and the support team.
• A working environment in which guidance and clarity for pupils go hand in hand.
