Become a Mirus Trustee

Mirus is currently recruiting for new Trustees to join their Board and would love to speak to anyone who might be interested.

About Mirus

At Mirus we are dedicated to supporting individuals with learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions and complex needs in a person-centered manner, through shared support, independent living and flexible community support.

Our Board of Trustees is ultimately responsible for our Governance as a charity. The board sets the strategic direction that enables us to achieve our vision; everything we do is focused on enabling the people we support to live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives.

Mirus already has Trustees from a variety of backgrounds and is keen to welcome people who have experience and skills within Finance, IT & Digital, Business Development, Public Affairs, and Learning and Development, especially within the social care sector.

We believe a diverse Board reflects the diverse community we serve. Mirus welcome input from people with personal experience of diverse disabilities, a family member with a disability, or personal experience within the disability community or care sector. By actively building a diverse Board we can make sure that the people supported by Mirus continue to live their best possible lives.
