To enhance the strength and diversity of Thenue Housing and Thenue Communities boards, we are looking for enthusiastic individuals with a passion for making a difference to local communities.

We are particularly keen to hear from people with skills, knowledge and experience as follows:

• Social Enterprise
As a charity we consider ourselves a social enterprise that exists primarily to benefit our communities (rather than shareholders or owners) and are commercially viable with a purpose of generating social impact. Having this philosophy on our Board will help to make us more diverse and stronger.

• Maintenance and asset management
Qualified staff with extensive experience in asset management are employed, however, this is an area we wish to strengthen on the Board, especially with regard to domestic and housing related strategic oversight.

• Legal
An individual with a specific legal background to help the association to continue to grow and develop in this particular area.

Diverse Boards are vital to our ongoing success and we particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups.

This role is voluntary and unpaid with reasonable out of pocket expenses being paid. Support will be given in the role through ongoing training, development and mentoring.
