About EPIC

EPIC is the proud custodian of approximately 1,400 homes across North Staffordshire with properties in Stoke-on-Trent, Newcastle-under-Lyme and the Staffordshire Moorlands. Our homes come in two flavours: ‘social’ and ‘affordable’ rents, and our tenants are the real VIPs in our world.

Our focus is always on our tenants and their homes, but we’ve got an awesome culture too, where we grow, develop, and maybe even have a little bit of fun along the way. Despite our small crew, we like to keep things interesting and are always looking for opportunities and ways to improve and develop each other and the way we do things. \"Smarter, simpler and slicker\’ is our mantra!

What We're Looking For

We know that experience and skills come from a variety of places, and at EPIC, we want to reflect the world that we live in. We know that having a diverse Board of Trustees leads to better debate and ultimately better decisions. Divergent backgrounds mean ideas are looked at in different ways and can create positive disruption from the status quo. We do have key attributes that we are looking for at the current time in EPIC’s continued evolution, but we absolutely welcome interest from a broad spectrum of applicants. A variety of backgrounds can make EPIC more adaptable to the ever-changing environment.

We are looking for specific experience in the following areas:

• Information Technology
• Cyber Security
• Artificial Intelligence
• Asset Management
• Lived experience as a social housing tenant (preferably as an EPIC tenant)

Main Purpose of The Role

• To lead and work with the senior leadership team in setting and steering the strategic vision of EPIC, in line with statutory and regulatory requirements, good governance, performance management and effective strategic planning.
• To act as an ambassador for EPIC.
