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

At Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (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 qualifications (where required) 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 to come easily, and who treat everyone with respect without thinking.

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.
