Non-executive Opportunities

Description:

However, our impact extends beyond being a housing developer and landlord, providing critical services such as financial inclusion and safeguarding for victims of domestic abuse and people living with mental health challenges, homeless night shelters and additional support and resettlement services for homeless people. As such your values, your passion to ensure residents and service users remain at the heart of everything we do, and your commitment to our social purpose will be important.

As Chair you will have a good understanding of the strategic landscape for housing providers, gained through an executive or Board role. You can provide focus, support and challenge and have a naturally collaborative style that gets the best out of people. Ideally you will have a knowledge and insight into regulatory compliance and excellence in governance. Chairing experience would be helpful, but we are happy to consider experienced board members looking for their first chair role.

Initially appointed as a Board Member with the title of Chair Designate, you will join our Board and work closely with our current Chair in the months ahead to settle into the role whilst being given the time and freedom to understand the dynamics of our Board, building your own key relationships with our Chief Executive, the Executive Team and your fellow Board Members.

In a new Board Member, we look for someone who can bring strategic insight, experience of working at a senior level in a complex and diverse organisation like ours and lives values that are in tune with our purpose. Ideally, for one of these two roles we are looking for someone with a significant background in housing management or asset management. For the other, we would like to hear from candidates with lived experience as a social housing tenant or housing support service user who brings a strong understanding of good governance gained through Board or committee working.
