The Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust is a small specialist NHS mental health trust with a focus on training and education, as well as providing a full range of mental health services and therapies for children and their families, young people and adults.

We provide outpatient, and mainly psychological services via talking therapies. We do not provide acute services, nor inpatient patient services, nor detention facilities, and do not have an A&E department

We have not recruited many nurses over recent years, and then only against a permanent vacancy. We employ under 20 permanent nurses at any given point, so our recruitment needs for nurses is negligible.
