  • Vacancy: Project Manager – social & emotional mental health in schools

    August 1, 2018

    Beyond Words has an important role to play in the introduction of the proposed social and emotional mental health framework in schools next year. In order to prepare the way we are undertaking a research project in 21 Special Schools in the North, Midlands and South-East of England. We plan to assess how Beyond Words’ books and other visual materials can help children and teachers to address many of the issues raised in the recent Government Green Paper.

    If you are a qualified teacher and you have recently left the profession or you are looking for a fresh challenge we would like to hear from you. Beyond Words is based in Central London but this role, which could be 2-3 days per week, would also involve travel to the partner schools.

    If you are interested please forward your CV and letter of introduction to our Chief Executive Nick at: nwright@booksbeyondwords.co.uk

They were warmly received at a Reception to Launch the Books in the House of Lords on 30th April.
