"I had been a Social Worker working in a local authority for 15 years and making the move was a difficult decision, however I am pleased I did. I have never looked back since joining Sussex Partnership. I had thought that it might be a hard transition, but I soon realised I had so many transferable skills. My multiagency working and experience of using a strengths based model was really appreciated. It’s a pleasure to be working for the NHS and SPFT. It’s such a nurturing environment, I wish I had made the move sooner."
Ruth Nathan | Social Worker, Community Mental Health Practitioner
"I think now is one of the best times to join Sussex Partnership: since the pandemic there is a much closer connection between nurses at the coal-face and senior management, a mutually respectful relationship and a desire to move things forward in a way that benefits staff."
Jayne Herriott | Lead Nurse for the Specialist Perinatal Mental Health Service
"I am proud to be an Allied Health Professional and to be part of a group of professionals that has a unique set of skills supporting people with their recovery and wellbeing"
Sofia Ivarsson | Professional Lead Occupational Therapist, Brighton and Hove CDS
"I hugely enjoy and thrive to support young people putting meaning back in their lives to support mental health."
Steph Hutton | Professional Lead Occupational Therapist, Children and Young People Services
"What drew me to psychiatry in the first place is that it's very varied and you can pick and choose what you're interested in, then actually do that on a daily basis"
