As May comes to an end, so does Mental Health Awareness Month. We want to highlight the rewarding careers available in mental healthcare and social care. At Cygnet, you can join us as a mental health nurse or as a support worker/healthcare assistant. These roles involve various duties, such as engaging with patients and service users, participating in therapy sessions, and maintaining records. While nurses need specific qualifications, support workers need care experience, a DBS check, and ideally an NVQ level 2 or 3 in health and social care. There are ample opportunities for career development and specialisation in areas such as psychology, eating disorders, or substance misuse. Working in mental health requires resilience, empathy, and effective communication skills. It can be demanding but also highly rewarding. If you're passionate about making a difference, consider a career in mental health with us here at Cygnet.

As Race Equality Week for 2024 draws to a close, we’re reminding everyone here at Cygnet about the fight for racial equality in the workplace - from the top of our organisation to the bottom. Here at Cygnet, we’re incredibly proud of our globally diverse team, all working together to help improve the lives of the people in our care every single day. We celebrate diversity because different people, with different perspectives, make Cygnet a better health and social care provider. Our service users, our residents, and our young people are incredibly diverse, so we should be too. That’s why we’re working hard to build an inclusive culture where people can be themselves. Whoever they are, wherever they’re from. Race Equality Week focuses on addressing the barriers to race equality in the workplace because we need to make it everyone’s business. The sooner we act, the sooner change can become a reality. If we all commit to #ListenActChange, then real change can, and will, take place.
It was Poetry at Work Day earlier this week – so a chance to let creative juices flow and see the beauty in what we do. Whether you spend your days tending to patients or closing deals, there’s inspiration all around us here at Cygnet.

In a recent episode of our Music 2 Empower series - Chloe, a patient receiving mental health support from Cygnet Hospital Bierley, spoke about the positive difference that Poetry made to her mental health.
