Forward Thinking Birmingham (FTB) was launched in 2016 and is the first 0-25 mental health service in the UK. As a partnership organisation led by Birmingham Women and Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, we provide a range of mental health services because our mission is to be: ‘the first city where mental health problems are not a barrier to children, young people or young adults achieving their dreams’.
Today, our goal is to provide the best level of support and care to the young people and their families that reach out to us.
We're always on the lookout for talented, enthusiastic people who like a challenge and care as much as we do about innovative, safe and high-quality mental healthcare.
