No. Cygnet Health Care does not sponsor its apprenticeship pathways for international students who need a visa.

Its own Early Careers page sets out apprenticeship eligibility in full: candidates must work 30-plus hours a week on a permanent contract, have settled status, have been in the country for 3 years, and cannot be on a student visa. Bank staff cannot apply.

The catch: You must already be a Cygnet employee on a permanent 30-plus hour contract before you can apply for an apprenticeship, this is not an external application route into the company, and Skilled Worker sponsorship does not satisfy the settled-status requirement.
