We are looking for two Associate Board Members

About Us
A force for good in the East Midlands for over 50 years, NCHA’s mission is to provide homes and support by people who care. We house more than 20,000 people and manage over 10,000 homes in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland.

We employ over 1,200 people, who receive training opportunities, apprenticeships and a huge range of colleague benefits.

We’re building new homes all the time and work with 19 local authorities to build affordable homes that meet the needs of people in their area. This includes homes for sale, rent, shared ownership and everything in between. We’ve got an annual turnover of £100 million, and we have invested more than £800 million in properties.

But we don’t just do houses - we also provide a range of care and support services all over our region.

About our Board and the role

NCHA strives to be an inclusive workplace and we particularly welcome applicants from ethnic minority communities, LGBTQ+ communities, women and people with disabilities to ensure we fully represent our communities.

As we also value diversity in experience and sector, we review the make-up of our Board annually to ensure we’ve got the right representation to enable us to continue to make the right decisions for our customers, colleagues and the organisation as a whole.

If you are a customer of NCHA or have lived experience of the type of service which NCHA offers (care and support or social housing) and are committed to contributing to NCHA’s direction, then this is an opportunity for you. Associate roles are designed for individuals with no or limited experience of board work, in order to develop in this area (please see the role description for more information) – although individuals should still be committed to our values and be willing/able to contribute effectively. Your commitment and attitude are the most important attributes we are looking for.

All applicants should be enthusiastic team players who share our CLEAR values, have a passion for housing and social care, and are looking for an Associate Board Member role with a socially conscious Housing Association.

About You

You will be enthusiastic about our aims, have excellent communication skills and a clear understanding of the issues facing the Housing and Care sectors; along with a strong commitment and empathy with our values and objectives.

You will be a values-driven person with an understanding of the needs of diverse communities, including people with disabilities and those who are socially disadvantaged.

You will demonstrate sound independent judgement and have the ability to work effectively in a team.

You will have the flexibility to attend and participate in a minimum of eight daytime or evening meetings per year, and development activities such as induction, training and performance review sessions, or events, as reasonably required.

What’s in it for you?

* Training and support towards your personal development

* A chance to gain Non-Executive Board skills and experience or expand your existing skills

* Opportunities to network as you would be representing NCHA externally when required

* IT equipment provided

Remuneration: £2,964 per annum

We are looking forward to receiving your application!
