Staff Testimonials

"I wanted to take a moment to express my deep appreciation for the incredibly smooth and supportive employment process I experienced with Maudsley Health. As a General Adult Psychiatrist in the public sector, I had been considering a shift to the private sector when I stumbled upon the new post at Maudsley Health. What amazed me was the efficiency and warmth throughout the entire process. From the interview to offer negotiation and receiving the offer letter, it all transpired within a mere four hours. The support I felt during that time and while settling into my new role was truly remarkable. The initial weeks were filled with orientation sessions that clearly explained my responsibilities and rights. What stood out to me was the open-door policy in HR, which, in my experience, felt more like an open ears and open heart policy. The team’s dedication to ensuring a smooth transition and fostering an environment of genuine support has been invaluable to me. I am grateful for the warm welcome and ongoing guidance that have made my journey at Maudsley Health a truly fulfilling one. "
