We are seeking to appoint a Network Leader for Senior Mental Health Leads across RLT Primary Schools (and a further role for Secondary).

The post holder will need to be able to take innovative and creative approaches to facilitating network collaboration in ways which bring genuine value.

What skills / experience are required
Applicants are required to have recent experience of being a school Senior Mental Health Lead (including having undergone DfE accredited training) and the ability to shape and maintain a supportive network to support collaboration between leaders in RLT Primary schools.
This role is offered to Internal RLT candidates only. On applying for this role we do request that all candidates complete an application form via My New Term, paying particular attention to providing a personal statement outlining your motivation for the role, and relevant previous experience. The other elements of the application form (career history / qualifications) are less relevant for internal candidates, and therefore we would accept an application with just basic details completed in these areas.
Education has the power to change lives, communities and society for the better. At RLT we believe that we can achieve more for our pupils, trainees, staff and communities by working together rather than alone. Schools in RLT are united by a common belief in the benefits of working together, and by our commitment to shared principles.
OUR VISION is for our schools and SCITT to improve rapidly, continuously and sustainably: to be better faster together.
OUR ‘WHY?’ is that children and young people ‘only get one go’ in school and therefore as part of RLT we aim to ensure the best possible ‘go’ for our pupils.
OUR ‘HOW?’ is through the highest support and challenge for our schools and each other, underpinned by our principles.
Our employees benefit from a wide variety of support including extensive continuing professional learning and development opportunities, wellbeing and staff networks and access to Defined Benefit Pension Schemes (TPS and LGPS) for all staff. For more information on what it is like to work for the Trust, and the benefits you could access, please see our “Working in RLT” guide.
