		<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>
