Stone Circle, Wiltshire Council's housing and development company is looking to appoint two new Non-Executive Directors

In 2019, Stone Circle was created as a wholly owned subsidiary of Wiltshire Council for the benefit of Wiltshire residents with the aim to provide quality affordable housing in the heart of Wiltshire. Stone Circle Housing Company purchases residential property which is rented in a way that meets the housing needs for residents in Wiltshire, who do not choose to be Council house tenants but cannot afford private sector rents. Stone Circle Development Company undertakes residential development on surplus sites of Wiltshire Council.

Stone Circle's Vision: Our aim is to work with Wiltshire Council and the private sector to deliver good quality homes within the community that anyone can afford.

We have the following roles available:

• Non-Executive Director - Stone Circle Holding Company £3,000 per annum
• Non-Executive Director - Stone Circle Housing Company £3,000 per annum

We would like to appoint two individuals at this point, we envisage one of the appointments covering both companies as well as chairing the Risk and Audit Committee, the other covering Stone Circle Housing Company and ideally with a background in Housing Management. We will also be looking to appoint a tenant representative to the Housing Company Board to ensure our tenants' voices are heard as we develop and grow.

These opportunities have arisen with the retirement of directors who have led the companies in their "start-up" and early delivery phases. An ambitious new business plan including increasing the current Housing portfolio of 187 units by 100 units per annum is the right time for new Non-Executive Directors to shape how the companies deliver at pace.

Non-Executive Directors will be expected to attend a minimum of 6 Board meetings per year some of which may be held in person in Wiltshire. Full details are set out in the role description. The Non-Executive Director roles are remunerated at £3,000 a year plus expenses, per directorship appointed to.
