Together, we are Team NPT

Caring for your wellbeing

We offer a range of free services to support the physical and mental health and wellbeing of everyone at Team NPT.

These include an in-house Occupational Health Unit which includes a Mental Health Nurse to provide help and support to anyone who may need it. We’ve taken the Time to Change Wales Employer Pledge to end stigma and discrimination faced by people with mental health problems.

We have a staff Health & Wellbeing Group and online staff portal to enable staff to access help, support and resources for their health and wellbeing. We became the first local authority in Wales to implement a ‘Safe Leave’ policy for staff who are affected by any form of Domestic Abuse, allowing them the opportunity to access support services, legal advice, alternative housing or medical help in a safe, planned way.
