Role summary

As a Senior Education Engagement Officer, you will lead Somerset Council’s Education Engagement Service in Bridgwater, driving locality-based approaches to improve school attendance and safeguard children missing from education in line with statutory guidance and legislation.

You will manage a caseload of complex cases while providing leadership, supervision, and oversight to a team of officers, ensuring consistent, high-quality practice.

The role involves chairing Targeted Support Meetings, coordinating multi-agency interventions, and undertaking quality assurance activities to strengthen service delivery. You will also oversee and manage legal processes relating to attendance where necessary.

A key focus is building effective relationships, promoting the welfare and voice of children and young people, and delivering training to schools. Through direct work with families, you will identify barriers to education and implement strategies that support sustained engagement and improved outcomes.

Provide expert advice and leadership to partners, promoting effective safeguarding across services such as EHE, CME and CSE.
Oversee quality assurance, performance reporting and continuous service improvement.
Build strong relationships with schools, early years settings and multi-agency partners across the county.

Lead on school attendance enforcement, including investigations, prosecutions and court representation.

Contribute to service development, training delivery and income generation opportunities.
Champion safeguarding, equality and continuous improvement across the service.

Strong understanding of safeguarding thresholds, information-sharing requirements and escalation pathways in a multi-agency context
Understanding of quality assurance principles and performance management within safeguarding or regulatory services
Significant experience of working in education safeguarding, school attendance, or a closely related statutory service, including complex casework with children and families
Proven experience of leading, supervising or managing staff, including performance management, quality assurance and staff development

Evidence of substantial relevant experience and continuous professional development where qualifications have been gained through practice
Training in safeguarding and child protection, with evidence of applying this in a statutory or regulatory context
Ability to make sound, defensible decisions in high-risk and complex situations, balancing legal compliance and the welfare of children and young people
Strong partnership-working skills across schools, early years settings, multi-agency partners and internal services
Excellent communication skills, including advising, chairing meetings, explaining legislation and representing the service confidently
Strong organisational and analytical skills, including accurate record-keeping, use of case management systems and report writing

Desirable

Knowledge of prosecution processes, including preparing witness statements, disclosure schedules and presenting cases in Magistrates’ Courts
Understanding of multi-agency safeguarding arrangements and forums (e.g. MARAC, PEVP, partnership panels)
Understanding of service development and continuous improvement within a county-wide education or safeguarding service
Knowledge of delivering statutory or safeguarding-related training as part of traded services
Experience of leading a specialist functional area or contributing to service development within safeguarding or attendance services
Experience of conducting PACE interviews and appearing as a witness in Magistrates’ or Family Courts
Experience of conducting quality assurance audits and contributing to service improvement initiatives
Experience of contributing to multi-agency safeguarding forums or panels
Experience of supporting and advising others on safeguarding complaints and escalation processes
