Leeds and York Partnership Join an organisation that cares GrowinG toGether In February 2012 mental health and learning disability services from Leeds, York and North Yorkshire joined forces to form Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LYPFT). Before our colleagues in York and North Yorkshire joined us, we were Leeds Partnerships NHS Foundation Trust; and we first began life as an NHS foundation trust in 2007. At Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust we aim to provide excellent quality mental health and learning disability care that supports people to achieve the very best that they can for their health and wellbeing. Current statistics show that around one in four people will experience some sort of mental health problem at some point in their lives. A further one in 50 people has a learning disability and is more likely to experience mental health problems as well as physical disabilities. We believe that we can make a real difference to these people’s health and lives and, by doing so, give hope for the future to the people who use our services, to their families and their carers. Service users are at the heart of our organisation. We constantly strive to provide the best possible care and support, working closely with related organisations to provide effective, accessible and modern mental health and learning disability services. how we are run NHS Foundation Trusts are a new kind of organisation known as a ‘Public Benefit Corporation’. We are still part of the NHS and will still be subject to NHS standards, performance ratings and systems of NHS Foundation Trust inspection, operating to NHS principles of free care, based on need and not ability to pay. The difference with a Foundation Trust is that we are run locally, with local people having a say in how they wish their services to be developed. We work in close partnership with our local communities to improve the mental health and wellbeing of the people who use our services. We strive to make services better, simpler and more efficient, which in turn will help us to provide the best possible care for our patients. Join the team We currently employ around 4,000 people – some of whom are world leaders in their field. By coming to work at the largest mental health training institution in the country, you will have every opportunity to develop within your role, maximise your potential and develop new skills to progress within your career. Our joint working relationship with the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London also means we can offer you unrivalled opportunities to become involved in academic research. As an organisation we are dedicated to eliminating discrimination and promoting equality of opportunity. We are committed to equality and diversity in the way we deliver and commission our services and towards creating a workforce that is broadly representative of the population we serve. So, if you think LYPFT sounds like the right fit for you, we’d love to hear from you.
