We are looking for Support Workers to join our team working at our three Hospital services in Bury. You’ll become part of our inspiring team that helps to support individuals with mental health care needs. With us, you’ll help deliver outstanding, compassionate care that changes lives and together, we’ll reap the rewards of making a real difference to those we care for.
The right mindset matters most.
Experience in care or a related setting is valuable, but just as important is the kind of person you are. At Cygnet, we’re looking for people who are genuinely motivated to make a difference in the lives of others and who bring empathy, energy and commitment to the role.
The people who thrive in this role are:
• Genuinely driven by the opportunity to make a positive difference in people’s lives
• Excellent communicators who work well as part of a supportive team
• Sensitive, intuitive and able to build trust with the people they support
• Motivated to help individuals develop confidence, independence and new opportunities
Whether your experience comes from healthcare, social care, education or another people-focused environment, what matters most is your ability to support others with patience, respect and understanding.
What does a Support Worker do?
Support Workers help people with different disabilities and mental health needs live their lives more independently. They provide both physical and emotional support to help people reach their potential. The role comes with its challenges, but through support, understanding and teamwork, you’ll know you’ve positively impacted people’s lives – and there’s no better feeling than that.
Join us.
Please note: You will need to have the Right to Work in the UK. Sponsorship is not available for these roles.
