Putting your principles, passions and behaviours at the centre of our recruitment.

At LYPFT, we strive to provide high-quality mental health and learning disability services as an employer of choice.

We can only achieve this by putting our staff and the people using our services at the centre of everything we do. This starts with the people we employ. We recruit based on values and believe lived experience is an advantage. We look for potential, not perfection, and this means that together, we are as diverse as the communities we care for.

Simply put, we seek out people who care, act with integrity and have the right skills. We want to add to our incredible staff, students and volunteers who share these principles, with people like you, who find empathy comes easily and who treat everyone with respect without thinking. Only when we know this reflects you do we check your skills and experience to find you the perfect role.

By recruiting in this way, not only can we give more people the opportunity to help those living with mental health challenges, learning disabilities and neurodiversity, but we can also help more people use their natural strengths to feel purposeful, happy and valued in every aspect of their role at LYPFT.
