Approx. two evenings per month plus preparation time, and up to four strategic planning days per year
Our client support approximately 12,500 customers in around 5,000 homes in Gloucester, the city and its people are everything that they are about. They are one team with a focus to provide safe and secure homes where people in their community can thrive.
Do your values and motivations align with their purpose? Do you think you can bring a different perspective to their boardroom? They are seeking individuals who'd like to help them build on what they have already achieved, by joining as Non-Executive Directors on their Board and relevant committees.
You'll ideally bring knowledge across one of the following areas: Risk, Governance & Assurance; Customer Centric, Repairs, Maintenance and Regeneration; or People and Culture alongside a passion for Gloucester. You'll use your knowledge to effectively challenge and positively impact on our work in these areas. They would love to hear from people with lived experience in the social housing sector, or from a group that is underrepresented on boards, such as people with a disability.
Maybe this feels like you, but you think you don't fit the mould of a 'typical Board Member'? If so, you're likely to be just who they are looking for. Diversity is key to the success of their organisation and our board is no different. It's vital to them that their board represents the diverse backgrounds and communities which their customers are from.
An understanding of, and interest in, the housing sector, and regulatory context in which they operate, would be useful, but isn't essential. Training and support will be provided. What is key, is keeping customers at the heart of their strategic decision making, with their values of Pride, Quality, Integrity and Innovation particularly resonating with you.
Why our client?
You may have sensed that they are not just any social housing provider. They look to do things differently to achieve their commitment to building a healthy, vibrant and inclusive organisation that treats people with respect and creates opportunities for all.
They have strong community roots and an ambitious five-year strategy, which they are refreshing right now. In the last year they have undergone significant change in their operating environment, regulatory framework and with the needs and expectations of customers and colleagues.
Their Governance structure is key to enabling us to continue to excel and support their vision of building homes and communities where people can thrive.
