Description

Are you excited about making a positive impact in the lives of others? Mirus is a non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of the people it supports in Cardiff for more than 35 years.

Our Respite service in Cardiff offers short-term stays for adults over 18 with various needs like learning disabilities, physical disabilities, autism, challenging behaviors, and mental health issues.

Alongside this service, our Community Connections Service provides tailored respite options, including support at home, community-based support, weekend getaways, and holidays.

We prioritize individual needs, enabling people to achieve their goals, maintain well-being, and actively engage in their local communities.

Flexibility is key as the nature of the service often involves last-minute changes due to the high activity level at the houses.
