Westward Board Member Vacancy

By | |

Do you have a commercial head and a social values heart? Are you interested in changing lives through housing provision?

Westward Housing Group is an affordable housing provider in the South West and we are committed to remaining proactive, innovative and diverse in the face of a shifting political and economic climate.

We are seeking motivated professionals to join our board as non-executive directors. You will play a very important part in defining and upholding the Group’s mission, values, strategies, objectives and policies. This is an opportunity to join a financially strong organisation that is committed to remaining ahead of the curve, continually changing and adapting to meet and exceed the expectations of both residents and the regulator.

You will be joining a board of dedicated non-executives who ensure Westward operates effectively, efficiently and economically, whilst providing oversight, direction and constructive challenge to the executive.

If you would like to help us make a difference in providing homes and supporting communities, we would love to hear from you.

Our ideal candidates will have skills and experience in one or more of these areas:

  • strategic customer service
  • asset management
  • new business and partnerships
  • property development
  • people and change
  • digital transformation

We believe our board should reflect the diversity of the community served. We are aware that up and coming board retirements will leave a gender imbalance and therefore we are particularly interested in applications from women.

Our bi-monthly meetings are held on Thursdays at our head office in Newton Abbot. The role provides out of pocket expenses and remuneration of £3,106 per annum. To help you settle in, we provide a tailored induction and a mentor.

If you would like to help us make a difference in providing homes and supporting communities, we would love to hear from you.

Please see www.westwardhousing.org.uk/jobs for more information about Westward, the role and how to apply. The closing date is noon on Monday 15 October 2018 and the interview date is Tuesday 6 November 2018.

If you would like to discuss the role, please contact [email protected] or 01626 247150.
