		<h2>About The Role</h2>
	
		
			<p>As part of Place2Be’s long-standing collaboration with the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and University College London (UCL), we have been supporting the development and evaluation of ‘Learning Together’, a series of programmes designed to reduce bullying and increase a sense of safety and belonging at school for children and young people. Learning Together has also been found to have a positive impact on students’ mental health and academic attainment (initial findings&nbsp;published in the Lancet can be found&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(18)31782-3/fulltext" target="_blank">here).</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p></p>
<p>The Learning Together for Mental Health (LTMH) programme has been developed with a stronger focus on students’ mental health. LTMH includes training in restorative practice for school staff, a student needs assessment and facilitated Action Groups, in which staff and students come together to plan school activities or policy changes to address the mental health and wellbeing needs of the students. In a recent pilot study, LTMH was found to have good feasibility in participating schools. We are now very excited to be able to give secondary schools across the country the opportunity to trial LTMH in their school and to support the evaluation of this innovative programme.&nbsp;</p>
<p>We’re therefore looking to recruit someone to manage the delivery and evaluation of the Learning Together for Mental Health programme across approximately 140 secondary schools in England.&nbsp;The successful candidate will be responsible for overseeing the operational management of the project, initially working closely with the Research School Engagement Officer to recruit and onboard schools and then with a team of Place2Be Facilitators to ensure the smooth delivery of LTMH in participating schools. The Research Trial Manager will also work collaboratively with the external evaluation team to support research activity in these schools.&nbsp;</p>
For a career with purpose, this is your place.

However if you need to gain clinical hours for your course, we would strongly advise that you check with your course tutor as to whether child hours are accepted before applying.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br>
Through our professional development programme, we are training around 1,200 Counsellors on Placement each year who build their mental health and counselling skills and experience through practice in our partner schools. We also provide a range of professional development programmes on mental health and wellbeing for school leaders, teachers and other professionals who work with children and young people, so we can help to build ‘mentally healthy’ schools and communities where all children can thrive and flourish.</p>
<p>We continue to pilot,&nbsp;trial&nbsp;and explore new ways in which we can develop our practice as well as share learning, expertise and findings from the robust evidence and evaluation we gather.&nbsp;<strong>HRH The&nbsp;Princess of Wales</strong>&nbsp;is our Royal Patron and Place2Be is one of the founding charity partners of Heads Together.

<p><strong>Our values:</strong></p>
<p>We believe that how we approach our work is as important as the work itself. Our four key values shape everything we do:</p>
<p><strong>Compassion</strong>&nbsp;– We bring empathy and kindness to all we do, to better understand and meet the needs of children and young people, colleagues and other stakeholders.</p>
<p><strong>Integrity</strong>&nbsp;– We demonstrate sound ethical values in all our work, and we are honest, transparent, courageous and authentic.</p>
<p><strong>Perseverance</strong>&nbsp;– We have the courage to continue in the face of adversity and do this with determination to find effective solutions.</p>
<p><strong>Creativity</strong>&nbsp;– We bring an open-minded approach and flexibility to our thinking and actions and enable others to do the same.&nbsp;</p>
