Recruitment

Recruitment is an integral function within People, Organisational Development and Equalities. At the heart of North London NHS Foundation Trust (NLFT) are our people. They are the reason we can provide exceptional care, and that’s why our recruitment is so much more than filling roles—it's about building a community.

We believe in potential, not perfection. We hire for values first, then qualifications, knowing that lived experience is a powerful asset. This commitment to inclusive hiring means our team is as beautifully diverse as the communities we serve.

If you treat others with innate respect and lead with empathy, you belong here. Join our incredible staff in supporting those with mental health challenges, learning disabilities, and neurodiversity. At NLFT, you won't just have a job—you’ll find a role where your natural strengths are valued, and you feel a true sense of purpose every day.

To see how our values, behaviors and ways of working are all connected and the role they play in supporting colleagues and service users, have a look at our values and behaviours toolkit [pdf] 223KB
