I am about to commence changing the rear pads for the first time is this pretty straight forward and what special tools are required.

Usually need a brake piston rewind tool unless you make something up to screw piston back into calliper .Lot easier with tool .

yes there easy enough to do can be winded back easy enough but would be alot easier with the tool costing around £15+vat from good motor factors once done very straight forward clean up the carrier that holds the pads to this will help the new pads move freely

To add to "thomkas_cars" advice ,a little smear of Copperslip grease on contact points / back of pad wont go wrong .
