About the role
Are you passionate about safeguarding children and ensuring they receive the education they deserve? We are seeking a dedicated Tracking Officer to support our Children Missing from Education (CME) processes.
This critical role ensures that children do not go missing from education and are safeguarded effectively. The position is 37 hours per week, with part-flexible working arrangements that include both office and remote work.
This role is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 and therefore subject to an enhanced DBS certificate. It is also a regulated activity and will be subject to a Children and Adults Barred List check. West Northamptonshire Council is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
About you
We are looking for someone with a strong understanding of safeguarding in education and experience in liaising with families, schools, and other agencies. While experience in an education background is advantageous, it is not essential. Proficiency in using various IT packages is a must, along with excellent time management and prioritising abilities.
You should have outstanding communication skills, capable of conveying information clearly and effectively. The ability to work independently and take initiative is crucial, as is the ability to confidently challenge professionals and families when necessary. Strong organisational and problem-solving skills are essential, along with a commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of service users.
