At South London and Maudsley NHS Trust we are at the forefront of mental health care, support and research. Together we will work to improve the lives of people with mental health needs, reduce stigma and educate the community.
We provide the widest range of NHS mental health services in the UK and aim to be a leader in improving health and wellbeing – locally, nationally and globally. We serve a local population of 1.3 million people in south London, as well as specialist services for children and adults across the UK and beyond.
There are very few organisations in the world that have such wide-ranging capabilities working with mental illness. Our scope is unique because it is built on three major foundations: care and treatment, science and research, and training:
Service users benefit from the highest level of care
Research teams explore new and better treatments
In-house training facilities pass on the latest knowledge and skills to staff members
We recognise that our workforce needs to reflect the diversity of the population it serves, so we are looking for team players of all genders and backgrounds who are driven to make a difference, who share our passion for people and who are committed to striving for the highest standards of patient care. We actively encourage and welcome applications from Black, Asian and other underrepresented ethnically and culturally diverse groups.
