Here at Cygnet, we are 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, residents and 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.
A Diversity and Inclusion Steering Group has recently been set up to drive and embed this important element across our workforce and environments.
