You will be working on behalf of The National Association of Independent Schools and Non-Maintained Special Schools (NASS), as the partner organisation, based at the MacIntyre Wingrave School near Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire but employed by The University of Northampton. All the usual benefits of KTP Associate status apply to this post: a comprehensive training package, academic and commercial supervision and paid study support towards a postgraduate qualification (for more information about KTP see http://www.ktponline.org.uk/graduates). In addition the option of free accommodation at the school is available for the successful candidate. NASS, a registered charity, provides representation, advice and support to the UK?s non-maintained and independent special schools. In 2006, NASS commissioned The Centre for Special Needs Education and Research (CeSNER) at The University of Northampton to carry out research into the wellbeing and mental health problems of children with complex SEN. NASS is now looking to build on this research by developing training materials for teachers and support staff helping them to better identify and support mental health issues in children with complex needs. We require a SEN and Mental Health Resource Developer who will work closely with schools to develop and market the materials, which will be implemented through a web-based training programme. You will have a degree in education, psychology or a related discipline and, ideally, at least 3 years experience working with children and young people with complex SEN, preferably in a school setting. The successful candidate will also have an interest in, awareness or experience of mental health and/or emotional well-being together with the experience of delivering training and/or developing training materials. A flexible team player, with first class interpersonal and organisational skills, you will be open-minded with excellent problem solving and innovative thinking skills. In addition you will have the ability to travel between sites and the drive and motivation to ensure the project reaches a successful conclusion. You will also be required to study for a professional qualification in Management and obtain a research based higher degree linked to your KTP activity.
