Do you want to be part of a Board of Trustees and team with a strong social purpose, delivering real change and improvements to the community?

North Devon Homes is a successful housing charity based in North Devon, with a turnover of £23 million and 3,300 homes. Our team makes a positive difference to over 8,000 customers across North Devon.

We are looking to recruit a Board Member who can bring real value and experience to our strategic leadership team. We are looking for someone with a good understanding of business change, innovation and leadership as we refine services in line with customer feedback and to respond to the changing regulatory agenda.

A key focus for the organisation is improving the way in which we communicate with our customers and deliver our services, and as such to enhance our current Board skills we are ideally looking for someone with a background in one or more of the following areas: Asset Management, Customer Engagement, Human Resources and Organisational Development or Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Whilst we have one position available now there are further positions becoming vacant in the autumn and successful candidates may be invited to join the Board in a Co-opted position ahead of full appointment.

Our Board is team-focused with a strong sense of collaboration in the aim of meeting our communities’ needs and fulfilling our vision of ‘creating communities where people want to live’.

There are typically 7 Board meetings per year, currently three of these will be held in person in North Devon, with the remaining four being virtual meetings. In person meetings tend to incorporate an additional element (e.g. training or strategy away day) to get the most out of the time together. All Board members are assigned to one of the two Committees, and each meets four times annually, with these meetings normally being held virtually, in addition Board members may be asked to take part in project groups and if appropriate become a Board Champion in a specific area.

As a Disability Confident and Equal Opportunities Employer, we welcome applications from all suitably qualified candidates, including those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic groups and disabled candidates.
