Who we are

Welcome to Devon Partnership NHS Trust.

We provide mental health, learning disability and neurodiversity services across Devon, the South West and nationally. We're dedicated to improving mental health and wellbeing, working with our partners to provide high-quality, safe and recovery-focused care.

Our aims are to:

• Provide excellent care and treatment
• Create a great place to work
• Collaborate with others
• Make the best use of resources
• Promote social justice and tackle discrimination
• Make a positive contribution to our environment

Our teams

Our frontline teams include psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, support workers and administrative staff. We are increasingly striving to recruit people who have personal experience of mental health, learning disability and neurodiversity as peer support workers.

We support our staff who are members of, or who wish to join the Volunteer Reserve Forces and have a bronze award from the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme, which acknowledges our commitment.

We're an equal opportunities employer, working to challenge discrimination and stigma, and promoting recovery, inclusion, and wellbeing. We are a Disability Confident Leader employer and want mental health, learning disability and neurodiversity to be seen as equally important as physical health services. We also have The Smallest Things Employer with Heart recognition, supporting parents of premature babies.

Our income and staff numbers

We have an income of over £403m a year and employ around 4,500 staff. Each year we receive around 85,000 referrals and support about 28,000 people every month.

We also have more than 50 peer support workers, 70 volunteers and 112 experts by experience with lived experience - who make a unique and valuable contribution to our work. 

We have been rated 'Good' by the Care Quality Commission.
