New neuropsychiatric facility to create up to 50 jobs for County Durham

Mental health care company Cygnet is embarking on a recruitment drive to secure staff for its new North East neuropsychiatric centre.

The firm is looking to create up to 50 jobs at Cygnet St William’s, a new 12-bed facility in Darlington that will offer care and treatment for men with acquired brain injuries.

Cygnet will fill a mix of full- and part-time posts, including neuropsychiatrist, psychologist, speech and language therapist, senior registered nurses and care and support staff.

It said the centre will aim to meet the demand for specialist neuropsychiatric services in the North East, ensuring people can be treated close to home and as near to their friends and family as possible.

A spokesperson for Cygnet Health Care said: “Cygnet St William’s will deliver top quality healthcare to local people.

“It is a very important development for us and we are delighted to be providing a number of jobs for the local Darlington community and beyond.”

They continued: “We are looking to attract a diverse range of talent and skills from people who share our passion and commitment to caring for and supporting people with neuropsychiatric needs across the UK.”

Cygnet St William’s is due to open in January 2019.
