Camden and Islington NHS Foundation Trust

Local area and community

C&I covers a diverse population across Camden, Islington and Kingston, and has contact with about 44,000 service users each year.  Our central London headquarters are a short walk from the newly modernised St Pancras International and Kings Cross stations and the vibrant Camden High Street and Camden Lock. Our second biggest site, Highgate Mental Health Centre, is a purpose built, modern hospital, with easy access to Archway and Highgate underground train stations. We also have about 30 sites spread across the three boroughs, operating community and specialist services.

We cover a diverse area, where business centres contrast with exclusive residential districts as well as areas of relative deprivation. The community is also ethnically diverse, with more than a third of residents from black or minority ethnic groups.

Pastoral & Professional Support

We value the benefits of a diverse workforce and believe that each team member has a unique and positive contribution to make. We firmly believe in working in partnership and have a set of shared strategic priorities and cultural pillars developed together with our service users and staff. At C&I, we are committed to providing staff with the services and support they need to improve their working lives and achieve a healthy balance between their work and home life. We have a Health and Wellbeing Strategy in place and a dedicated health and wellbeing employee programme offering staff a wide range of initiatives and services. In addition, we provide a great range of staff benefits and we will be expanding our benefits in line with staff needs. Benefits include Allocate Instant Pay, which enables staff to access part of their earned pay before payday, a bicycle salary sacrifice scheme, carer’s support and a flexible working policy
