Join the South Essex Homes’ Board!
In January 2024 there will be a vacancy for a Tenant Board member. The successful candidate for this position will serve along with 10 other high calibre non-executive directors to help South Essex Homes continue to build effective relationships across the city, with both external partners and the tenants that we serve.
South Essex Homes manages and maintains homes in the city of Southend on behalf of Southend City Council. We work hard to improve our services and provide our tenants with good quality social housing.
We are looking for potential applicants with skills or knowledge relating to business acumen, financial awareness or housing experience to ensure that the organisation evolves and continues to develop in order to improve our services in an ever-changing environment.
We anticipate that people interested in this role will be passionate about making a contribution, can take on an ambassadorial role and be a strong team player, whilst embracing the future ambitions of South Essex Homes to continue to provide good value quality housing. The role will require attendance of up to 10 meetings per financial year.
The vacancy is a compensated voluntary position (£2,000 PA) and could enhance future job opportunities for the successful candidate.
The South Essex Homes’ Group welcomes applications regardless of race, sex, age, disability or marital status. To be eligible to apply you need to be a secure tenant of South Essex Homes (other criteria for application can be found in the recruitment pack).
In addition, as part of the recruitment drive, we are also looking for tenants who would like to be involved in the process of choosing a suitable tenant Board member and as such we are looking for individuals who would like to be part of this process. If you feel that you do not fit the bill as a Board member or you do not have the time to commit to the role but would still like to be involved, why not consider applying to be part of the recruitment team?
For an informal chat about either role please contact Carol Cooper on 01702 212701 or email carolcooper@seh.southend.gov.uk
