About Us

Cygnet Health Care was established in 1988 as an independent provider of health and social care services in England, Scotland, and Wales.

Your Role - Occupational Therapist Band 6

Service Line: Male Specialist High Support Rehabilitation (Level 2) Service

Cygnet Storthfield House is a 22 bed specialist high support inpatient rehabilitation (level 2) service for men in Derbyshire. The service is dedicated to providing a high quality environment for promoting long-term recovery.

From the moment an individual arrives, the team works with them to maximize positive outcomes and recovery, while focusing on discharge plans to enable the individual to move on to the least restrictive environment for them. For some individuals, this could be independent living; for others who need additional support, we provide a step-down service, 15 The Sycamores. This 4 bed step-down gives the men we support an opportunity to continue on their journey while still being supported by the multi-disciplinary team (MDT) at Cygnet Storthfield House.

Located in South Normanton, two miles away from the busy Alfreton town centre, service users have access to all of the local amenities to ensure full integration into community life. The facilities available include a gym, library, bowling, churches, and leisure centres, plus the usual shops, cafés, supermarkets, and great public transport links.

Our dedicated clinical teams provide a full multi-disciplinary programme that includes occupational therapy, psychology, psychiatry, and nursing, offering service users the opportunities and support they need to stabilize their condition and enter society with a renewed sense of enthusiasm and optimism.
