Cygnet campaigns

We care for lives, not likes. Do you?

For us, true fulfilment doesn’t come from counting likes or being ‘insta-famous’. It comes from a vocation with a purpose – and touching other people’s lives in a meaningful way. So if what makes you feel good is making a difference to others, join Cygnet and grow a rewarding career with us.

Stories from our teams

Kathryn (Kay) Wood

Mental health nurse

“I took this job because I did my final placement here while training at Salford University. In three years of training, you move from placement to placement and sometimes it takes a while to settle in – but here, I instantly felt like part of the team. Everyone was so welcoming and there’s that nice feeling of being supported.”
