Inspiring team members

Being social and friendly is important to us. We encourage people from all areas where we work and all parts of the organisation to come together and share ideas. 

You can catch us chatting, entering competitions and sharing positive news with each other in our popular staff Facebook group, and using Teams and in person meet ups to get to know each other even more.   

You will feel supported by your team members, who will share their creative ideas and insights to help get the best out of you and the people you support. 

Feel valued

We value all our staff members and work hard to make sure they know it. 

When you notice that a colleague has done something fantastic in their work with Mirus, you can nominate them for a Mirus Moment.  

A Mirus Moment is a celebration of achievements, determination, contribution, and the positive changes made to the lives of the people we support. Our Mirus Ambassadors choose winners each month based on nominations made by our staff, the people we support and their families – with the winners getting a shout out on social media and winning a £20 gift voucher.  

Each year, we organise the Mirus Stars Awards, an event that celebrates all of our achievements from the year. It’s a great chance to dress up and meet with colleagues, volunteers and people supported from all areas where we work to celebrate our winners and catch up with friends.  

We are always looking for new and better ways of doing things, and we recognise staff play an important role in shaping us. That is why there are always plenty of opportunities for people to get involved with making key decisions on big changes and having a say in making improvements.

Working with Mirus is great for everyone, whether you have prior experience working in social care or not; we’ll provide all the training and support you need to excel in your new role. 

All of our learning and development opportunities come with paid training time, so you’ll earn as you learn.
