We launched our five-year strategy, Aiming High; Changing Lives in 2021 together with Our Care Improvement System as our quality management system methodology to make a positive impact on patient care, outcomes and staff experience. By joining SLaM, all staff will get the opportunity to be part of this exciting improvement journey supported with learning and development to harness everyone’s potential as change makers.

By coming to work at SLaM, you will gain experience of being part of an organisation with a rich history and international reputation in mental health care.

Our aim is to be a leader in improving health and wellbeing - locally, nationally and globally.
