Which providers receive the highest recommendations from staff as a place to work? HSJ has analysed the full results of today’s 2023 NHS Staff Survey for mental health, learning disability and MH/LD/community providers.
More than 700,000 staff responded to the survey between September and December – a 48 per cent response rate, up from 46 per cent in 2022.
HSJ has looked in detail at the performance of providers based on the question of whether staff “would recommend their organisation as a place to work”. The tables below show the proportion of respondents who “agree” or “strongly agree” with that statement.
Nationally, across all trust types, 61.1 per cent said they would recommend their trust as a place to work – up around 4 percentage points since 2022, and at a three-year high, across all employer types – but down from the 2019 score of 63 per cent.
We have also looked at it for acute, community and ambulance NHS providers.

Navigo Health and Social Care, a social enterprise providing some mental health services, scored 77.7 per cent in 2023 – down from 78.2 per cent the previous year, and up from 76 per cent in 2019.
Bottom five in England
Most improved five in England - 2022 to 2023
Most deteriorated five in England - 2022 to 2023
All mental health trusts
Numbers have been rounded to one decimal place. Some trusts are excluded or have missing figures, mostly due to mergers.
Watch: How has the percentage of staff recommending their mental health trust as a place to work changed over the past five years?
