Our mission is to make a positive difference to people\'s lives by improving the quality of life for all we serve. Our values are: We Care, We Respect, We are Inclusive. Quality Improvement is a key part of our work to improve our services and refine how we do things. We have a global reputation for our quality improvement work and we don\'t stand still. We offer opportunities for staff to learn, lead and contribute towards improving our services.
We launched our Five Year Strategy in April 2018, which identified four main strategic outcomes to improve: population health outcomes, experience of care, staff experience and improving value. This complements the NHS Long Term Strategy and sets out our direction of travel.
We provide a wide range of community health and mental health services to children, young people, adults of working age, and older adults in The City of London, Hackney, Newham, Tower Hamlets, Bedfordshire and Luton. We also provide psychological therapy services to the London Borough of Richmond, and Forensic services to the whole of North East London. Integrated care is key in making the best use of resources and providing effective care. We strive to ensure staff feel valued by the Trust and to deliver better outcomes for our patients and service users.
As a flexible working friendly organisation, we encourage discussions about flexible working arrangements, such as job share, part-time, or other patterns.
