South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

We are a specialist NHS Foundation Trust that provides community, mental health and learning disability services to the people of Barnsley, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield. We also provide some medium secure (forensic) services to the whole of Yorkshire and the Humber. Being a foundation trust means we’re accountable to our members, who can have a say in how we’re run and how they’d like our services to be developed. Around 14,300 local people (including our staff) are members of our Trust. We work from a variety of sites as well as with people in their own homes. We employ more than 4,200 staff, in both clinical and non-clinical support services.We exist to help people reach their potential and live well in their communities. We do this through our mental health, community, learning disability and wellbeing services across Barnsley, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield. We also provide specialist secure mental health (forensic) services for the whole of Yorkshire and Humber. How we work is as important to us as what we do. Our values and how we behave really matter to us. Our values unite our staff – whatever they do and wherever they are based – and guide our efforts every day, with all of us in mind.
