Exploring a career: Nursing
Discover a rewarding career at LPFT!
Join a vibrant team working across diverse inpatient and community settings, from child and adolescent services to working with older adults and those living with dementia. Mental Health and Learning Disability nurses work with individuals, their carers and the wider multi-disciplinary team to, assess, plan, deliver, evaluate and care according to each individual's specific needs.
Our nurses are skilled at establishing relationships with their service users to promote trusting, therapeutic relationships and advocate for them. Nurses often walk alongside their service users in the scariest of times. They will offer them hope, working with them to develop an understanding of their experiences. Nurses have the ability to establish coping mechanisms to manage their distress.
We have over 600 nurses in the Trust and each one is as valuable to us as the next. There are a wealth of exclusive staff benefits available to nurses who choose to work with us. LPFT feels passionately about supporting learning and development to enable our nurses to be the best they can be.
Here's what our staff say..
"My experience so far has been faultless, I returned to LPFT last year (2024) and I have been given such a warm welcome back."
"It's like I never left! Staff have been so lovely and supportive during my progression on Castle Ward."
"My advice to anyone considering joining, should absolutely work for LPFT as it is such a caring and compassionate place to work"
