The certificate, awarded on 6 October 2025, confirms that Millcroft Care Home has achieved Level 1 – Disability Confident Committed status. This recognition highlights the home’s ongoing dedication to fostering an inclusive and accessible working environment for all current and future colleagues.

As part of this commitment, Millcroft Care Home ensures that its recruitment process is both inclusive and accessible, providing equal opportunities for everyone who wishes to join the team. The home actively communicates and promotes its vacancies and guarantees interviews for disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for a role. In addition, Millcroft anticipates and provides reasonable adjustments wherever required, ensuring that every candidate and colleague can participate fully in their work.
