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 works 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 organising 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."

Why work for us?

We know the importance of working somewhere where staff mental wellbeing is a top priority.

This is why we’ve committed to being a Mindful Employer – read our Mindful Employer charter.

We also offer flexible working arrangements and have shorter working days (Monday, Tuesday and Friday 9am-4pm, Wednesdays and Thursday 9am-5pm) to boost wellbeing without compromising performance. Some of our staff work part-time too so they can get the work/life balance that works for them.

We have a Staff Wellbeing and Social Committee with a budget to plan and deliver activities for our staff that support their wellbeing and foster a sense of belonging.
