You will be instrumental in our vision “At Ark Kings Academy, every individual will develop the character to thrive in life, education and employment.”

The Family Liaison Officer will work closely with pupils, families, school staff and external agencies to promote positive school attendance, improve communication between home and school, and support families in overcoming barriers to education. The postholder will play a key role in safeguarding and ensuring that all children have access to their entitlement to a full-time education.

To contribute to a workplace culture which has safeguarding and child protection at its heart.

Ark is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people in its academies. In order to meet this responsibility, its academies follow a rigorous selection process to discourage and screen out unsuitable applicants. Ark requires all employees to undertake an enhanced DBS check. You are required, before appointment, to disclose any unspent conviction, cautions, reprimands or warnings under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975.

Non-disclosure may lead to termination of employment. However, disclosure of a criminal background will not necessarily debar you from employment - this will depend upon the nature of the offence(s) and when they occurred.

We aim to build a diverse and inclusive organisation where everyone – staff and students – can do their best work and achieve their full potential. We want to reflect and represent diverse perspectives across our organisation because we know that doing so will make us stronger and more effective.
