SANCTUARY SCOTLAND HOUSING ASSOCIATION LIMITED VOLUNTARY BOARD OF MANAGEMENT MEMBER VACANCIES Are you passionate about the provision of high-quality housing and services in Scotland?
Are you interested in playing an active role with a leading housing provider, ensuring our residents receive the highest quality services, delivered in a fair and sustainable way which benefits them and our communities alike?
If so, we have an exciting opportunity for someone looking to expand their knowledge and skills in a Non-Executive capacity in the housing sector, or looking for opportunities to use their existing expertise and lived experience to support and contribute to local communities in Scotland.
We pride ourselves on providing high quality essential services to our diverse communities in Scotland and are looking for those who share our values and vision to join our Board of Management as a non-executive director for Sanctuary Scotland.
Sanctuary Scotland Housing Association Limited, a subsidiary of the Sanctuary Group, is a dynamic and forward thinking organisation and provides high quality housing stretching from Glasgow to Aberdeenshire.
We are a registered charity and regulated by the Scottish Housing Regulator.
We are looking for new Board members to join an active Board of Management on a voluntary basis, where you will join other like-minded individuals who are passionate about our communities.
You will play an integral part in the governance, strategic direction and growth of our organisation, and contribute to our mission of building affordable homes and sustainable communities where people choose to live.
Some travel between our offices will be required, however we are able to hold meetings both in person and remotely so can facilitate a hybrid arrangement.
In return we will provide personal development through ongoing training and support.
As a voluntary position it will not be paid, but any reasonable travel and expenses for attendance at meetings will be covered.
Sanctuary Scotland is deeply committed to providing a culture of inclusivity and diversity which is fundamental to our values and we welcome applications from all sections of the community.
We are looking for applications from those who represent our diverse communities and demonstrate that they share our values and those of the social housing sector; have a genuine commitment to strengthening our local communities; and have the confidence and ability to question and challenge effectively.
We would particularly welcome interest from candidates who have lived experience in either receiving the type of services that Sanctuary Scotland provides or who have worked within the housing sector, including in a senior or executive role.
Skills gained within finance, development, legal or business would also be an advantage.
However a lack of experience in these sectors is no barrier to application, and we very much encourage and welcome applications from those who are genuinely committed to using their skills to bring new and multi-facetted approaches to our Board of Management, and ultimately for the benefit of our customers, communities and our organisation as a whole.
Most importantly, we are looking for those who can demonstrate that they are fair, rational and impartial; have a genuine interest in our services and our customers' needs; are able to understand and analyse information and data; and can communicate and share views and ideas in a constructive and objective way.
If you are interested in this rewarding opportunity where you can play a valuable role in shaping the future delivery of our housing and services, please apply.
