What Skills and Experience do you need? We're committed to having a board that reflects the communities we serve and encourage applicants from all backgrounds and life experiences to join us.

We are seeking deep expertise in at least one of the following areas:

• Financial Oversight: Significant experience in treasury management, accountancy, financial risk, audit, or governance within complex or regulated environments. You'll bring strategic insight to our Audit & Risk and Investment Committees, helping us manage capital, oversee investments, and maintain robust financial controls during a period of growth and transformation.
• Care, Support, Homelessness, Healthcare or Related Sectors: Extensive operational leadership in care, support, homelessness, or closely related fields such as healthcare or social services. You'll understand the realities of delivering services in today’s environment, including safeguarding, regulatory compliance, and supporting vulnerable people. Your expertise will help us navigate sector challenges and deliver high-quality, person-centred support.
• Asset Management / Property Strategy: Significant experience in asset management, property strategy, or portfolio optimisation. You’ll help us maximise the value, sustainability, and impact of our housing assets, ensuring our property portfolio meets the needs of communities now and in the future.

Responsibilities

• Provide insight: Help the board make sound decisions by using your specialist knowledge and experience.
• Drive performance: Use your expertise to support and challenge our teams constructively.
• Champion integrity: Embody our values and high standards of governance.
• Bring an external perspective: Engage with our teams, customers, and stakeholders.
• Support committees: Serve on at least one of our Committees.

You'll need to commit around 12-15 days per year, including Board meetings, committee duties, strategy sessions, and stakeholder events. Meetings are mainly in person, some virtual, and all during business hours. We offer an annual remuneration of £7,815. Terms of office are typically three years with the potential for two, three-year extensions. Renewal of terms is subject to the requirements of the Group Business Plan and associated Board skill sets. Periodic reviews will be undertaken.
