About Mental Health First Aid England

We have no gender pay gap and Diversity & Inclusion are a key part of our ethos. Wellbeing is at the heart of all that we do and say - we are committed to rewarding our employees with competitive pay, a flexible and supportive workplace, plenty of time off and opportunities to grow and develop.
We work in a hybrid way with the current expectation to come into the office on average once a week. We have a lovely central London office in Aldgate (E1 8BB) with subsidised café.
