Work for us
What is it like to work at MFT?
We’re a friendly, people-centred, going-the-extra-mile, international bunch with a shared passion and commitment to supporting people experiencing any kind of mental and emotional issues and treating them with the respect, kindness and compassion they deserve.
We’re a tight team, always supporting each other and ensuring we look after our own and our colleagues’ mental health. The first question our managers ask at supervision meetings is: “How are you doing?”
Our main office is based in Leatherhead but some of our staff work from other locations in Banstead, Epsom and Walton-on-Thames.
We also work with a fantastic team of volunteers whom we value very much and whose support is vital to running a successful organisation and fulfilling our mission.
"I came to Mary Frances Trust after working in a very stressful profession. Walking through the door at the Crescent was like going home, it was so welcoming and comfortable. Even now, after 6 years and a lot of changes and growth, it is still the best place I have ever worked."
