The Attendance Support Worker is responsible for leading efforts within schools and the Regional Centre for Education, and in partnership with Schools Plus and outside agencies to improve meaningful and productive student engagement and attendance. The primary responsibility and objective of the Attendance Support Worker is to work with students & families who are not successfully engaging with school, to identify causal factors and barriers to success and to implement a plan and program to improve learning & engagement. This will typically include service in the form of regular check-ins, direct teaching, hybrid and/or blended teaching as required. The Attendance Support Worker will also integrate strategies aimed at promoting equitable access, inclusion, and diversity, offering students multiple ways to demonstrate their knowledge and thereby helping to remove barriers to learning.

The attendance support worker is an itinerant position, working regionally or more typically with a family of schools.

- support and participate in school meetings involving interventions for students who are struggling to attend school;
- support families and other school staff in developing and monitoring attendance and connection support plans;
- support targeted interventions when an attendance/connection issue has been identified;
- lead or support school-based prevention strategies that focus on promoting regular attendance of all students, supported by School Board Attendance Committees;
- support or advise other school staff on school-based incentives related to attendance;
- work with School Board Attendance Committees, established to analyze board-wide student attendance rates and take steps to reduce student absenteeism and promote regular attendance;
- participate in ongoing program development and evaluation;
- help students access distributed learning programs (NSVS, NSIOL) and support as needed;
- Help support Alternate Education Programs Grades 8 through 12, for those who are unable to achieve success in a traditional school environment;
- comply with the Occupational Health and Safety Act and Regulations.

**Required Competencies**
- Excellent problem-solving, communications and interpersonal skills;
- Ability to establish and foster caring, supportive and trusting relationships, particularly with children, youth, and families, and to facilitate a transfer of trust to other service providers;
- Ability to navigate and build bridges between students, families, schools and outside agencies providing supports and interventions using a strengths-based and culturally-responsive approach;
- Ability to work well within teams, including school-based, board-based and SchoolsPlus or other community-based teams;
- Knowledge, experience and commitment in the areas of race relations, cross-cultural understanding, human rights, diversity, and culturally-responsive practice;
- Believes in the intrinsic worth of each individual and family;
- Ability to work effectively in flexible work situations and settings;
- Self-motivation and ability to work independently with limited supervision;
- Ability to maintain and promote confidentiality as the norm;
