We are now seeking to appoint a new Group Board Member who is a customer of Hyde, who will also sit on our Group Housing Services Committee (GHSC). This is a unique opportunity to contribute to Hyde's strategic direction and ensure that customer voices are heard and valued at the highest level of our governance.

We welcome applications from individuals with lived experience of social or affordable housing - whether you are a tenant, shared owner, leaseholder, or someone accessing services from the Hyde Group. You may have experience from a wide range of customer centric sectors, services or organisations.

To succeed in this role, you will need to think strategically and analytically, drawing conclusions from complex information and contributing to decision-making. You will be a strong communicator, able to work collaboratively with others and represent the broader customer experience in a balanced and constructive way. You should be prepared to invest in your own development, learning about Hyde's services and governance processes to make a meaningful impact.

No previous board experience is required. We will provide full support, including onboarding, mentoring, and access to training, to help you thrive in the role.
