Welcome to St Andrew’s Healthcare

St Andrew’s Healthcare offers a wide range of nursing opportunities across mental health, learning disability and neuropsychiatry. We’re unlike anywhere else you can work in these fields. 

A charity providing specialist mental healthcare

We are St Andrew’s, a mental health Charity. Our purpose is to inspire hope for those living with complex mental health needs.

We work in partnership with NHS, voluntary, academic and research organisations to deliver specialist inpatient and community mental healthcare services.

Our expertise, together with education and research, helps to improve the lives of people with complex mental health needs.

We are looking to a future with less stigma, more community support, more research and education, and to ensure that mental health policies are sustainable and lead to real change.

Patient Outcomes

‘Patient outcomes’ is a phrase you will hear often at St Andrew’s; it refers to the way we focus our activities and then measure our results – outcomes – to see how we are helping people to progress. Our aim is always to the people in our care to lead a meaningful life, with, where possible, discharge from a secure environment as soon as they are ready.

The clinical outcomes that we focus on are measurable changes in health or quality of life that result from our care. We explore everything, from the improved health of an individual to improved hospital experience. For example, we measure activity data such as the frequency of leave, and also ask patients to rate how they feel their health has improved. By constantly reviewing clinical outcomes we establish standards that we use as a basis to continuously improve.

True to ourselves

These factors combine to make us the unique organisation we are – with a positive, inclusive, welcoming culture that’s very much our own. We’re guided by shared values, defined by the people who work here and the patients we support. These values shape our behaviours and feed into everything we do.

Compassion: be supportive: understanding and care for patients, their families and all in the St Andrew’s Community.

Accountability: be proactive, take ownership and responsibility, do what you say you will.

Respect: act with integrity, be real, be open, be honest

Excellence: innovate, learn and deliver, whatever you do – do it well.
