AyrshireHousing

Join our Board – Non Executive Directorships

Ayrshire Housing is a leading housing provider and registered charity.  Our turnover is almost £5 million and this year we have invested £9 million developing new affordable housing.  Our projects have been widely recognised for the quality of their design.  We complement this with a long-term commitment to friendly, customer focused management. We extend our impact in the wider community through support for community development, housing support and training initiatives. Our Board structure is based on a partnership of our tenants, South Ayrshire Council and Ayrshire’s communities.  We wish to recruit committed and knowledgeable individuals for two vacancies in our community category. We are particularly interested to hear from people with an interest and/or experience in housing and social affairs, and who can contribute to the management of a significant, not for profit company. The positions are subject to election by our community members. The positions are unpaid although travelling expenses are refundable.  Attendance at up to ten evening meetings a year can be expected.

Everyone of our tenants is also a member of the company. There are three vacancies this year in the tenant section of the Board. Every tenant recently received a notice with their summer newsletter encouraging participation in the Board.

If you are interested in being elected to the Board  for either category, please submit your name and contact details along with a brief statement (around 50 words) explaining your interest in becoming involved, by 6 August 2010. For an informal discussion please contact Alan Park, Ayrshire Housing, 119 Main St, Ayr (01292 880 120 – apark@ayrshirehousing.org.uk).
