About Cygnet Aspen House
Cygnet Aspen House is a 20 bed service specialising in high support inpatient rehabilitation (level 2) for women who have severe and enduring mental illness. The service provides a safe and comfortable environment that promotes recovery for women with its focus on space, personal privacy and dignity.
Access to the local community is an essential step along the pathway to mental health rehabilitation. Located in a residential part of Mexborough, Cygnet Aspen House has excellent shopping facilities available close by, where independence skills are practised. Nearby is a leisure centre for swimming and sports activity and we use the local colleges for literacy and numeracy education and NVQ courses. External activities are tailored to individual needs and wishes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Our dedicated clinical teams provide a multi-disciplinary input including occupational therapy, psychology, psychiatry and vocational training. Person-centred care plans are devised and determined on individual need.
Support is provided to help individuals prepare for independent living, employment and other vocational activities. Aspen House has a strong focus on financial management and budgeting skills.
