Christopher’s journey shows how meaningful this role can be. He began his career in creative industries before caring for his grandfather inspired him to retrain, completing extensive training across 15 care disciplines and gaining hands‑on experience in West Yorkshire care homes.

He’s now a Healthcare Support Worker at Red Kite View’s Children and Young People Mental Health Services, where he supports young people through recovery, and says the most rewarding moments are seeing them safely return home.

Christopher hopes to specialise in mental health, progress into senior roles, and eventually mentor others starting their NHS journey. His message to anyone considering becoming a Healthcare Support Worker?

“Go for it. You’ll grow more than you ever imagined.”

Listening to our colleagues helps us improve.

The results of the NHS Staff Survey 2025 have been published today, with 1,504 colleagues at Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust sharing their views on working at our Trust.

Their feedback helps us celebrate what’s working well and understand where we can make meaningful improvements.

Our results highlight several positive areas:

• Compassionate and inclusive – our highest-performing theme, with 85% of staff saying their role makes a difference to service users.
• Flexible working – 81% of staff feel they can approach their manager about flexible working.

The survey also highlights areas where we need to improve, including morale and safe and healthy working.

“Young people were positive about the service . . . thought staff were kind and helpful, and that they could speak to them when they needed to.” That’s what inspectors found at our young people’s inpatient mental health units in Leeds and York last October.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) rated both Red Kite View in Leeds, and Mill Lodge in York, as “good” in their report published on 25 February 2026. The report goes on to say that “the service always treated people with kindness, empathy and compassion and respected their privacy and dignity,” and that “staff attitudes and behaviours when interacting with young people showed that they were discreet, respectful and responsive, providing them with help, emotional support and advice at the time they needed it.”

Celebrating ASPIRE Leeds (Early Intervention in Psychosis Service)

This month we’re recognising ASPIRE Leeds for their fantastic partnership with our Research and Development team. Their commitment to referring clients into studies and keeping research visible in everyday practice is helping drive real improvements in mental health care.
Why they’re our Research Heroes:

“Excellent examples of a team coming together through a challenging time.”

Our Crisis Resolution Intensive Support Service - East won Team of the Month earlier this year for their strength, unity, and compassion during challenging times. They adapted to growing service demands, streamlined processes, and created a welcoming, supportive environment for both colleagues and service users. 🎉

Thank you for setting such a high standard and making a real difference! 👏

Our Assertive Outreach and Rehab services run a 10‑week music group — known as The Pot Noodles — where service users can learn instruments, sing, rap and write their own songs. And the impact has been incredible.

When Deputy Director Alison Kenyon visited the group, she met a member who shared that taking part has helped slow the progression of his Alzheimer’s and improved his memory. Others say the sessions help reduce anxiety, build confidence and create meaningful friendships.

One young man uses rap to express things he’s never felt able to talk about. A young woman says the sessions help her feel calm and connected, reducing her need to use substances. One participant even uses the group to practise his English through songwriting!

Led by Mark, a gentle and encouraging tutor, the workshops give people a safe space to be themselves — and they even record their own tracks at the end.

A special mention and huge thank you to Julie, who has supported the group from the start and helped make this creative space what it is today.

Our Story

Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is the main provider of specialist mental health and learning disability services in Leeds. We also provide specialist services across York, the Yorkshire and Humber region, and some highly specialised national services.

Our vision is to provide outstanding mental health and learning disability services as an employer of choice. This means supporting our service users and carers, our staff and the communities we serve to live healthy and fulfilling lives where we can all achieve our personal and professional goals, and live free from stigma and discrimination.

We are an NHS foundation trust. That means:

we have some freedoms to decide locally how to meet our obligations

we are accountable to local people, who can become members and governors

we are authorised and monitored by NHS Improvement, who support us and hold us to account

We offer services to people who need support and treatment for a wide range of mental health conditions, from depression, anxiety and obsessive compulsive disorder, to dementia, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and personality disorders.

We support people living with issues such as addictions, eating disorders, or physical problems with psychological causes, and those needing the support of our gender identity service.

We offer community, supported living and inpatient care to people with a learning disability, who can present with challenging behaviour or complex physical health needs. We offer services across the region, and in a variety of locations, including inpatient children’s services in York, deaf children’s services across northern England, and secure services for Leeds and York.

The majority of our care is provided in, or close to, people’s own homes, with the need for people to stay in hospital kept to a minimum.
