Starting with no experience

Support worker roles in mental health settings are commonly open to applicants without prior clinical experience. Employers in this field recruit on temperament, resilience and communication, then train through induction and the Care Certificate.

The work involves supporting people during periods of acute mental ill health, so shifts include nights and weekends and the environment can be demanding. Roles require an enhanced DBS check, which the employer arranges.

How to apply

Every vacancy on this page links to the original listing, where Cygnet runs its own application and vetting process. We do not collect applications ourselves.
