Board Member

Based Barnet, North London

Allowance £2,000 per annum

Barnet Homes was established as an Arms Length Management Organisation (ALMO) in April 2004. A 2 star rating by the Audit Commission in October 2004 and re-confirmed in 2007 unlocked £185m funding to bring our housing up to the Decent Homes standard. They are on track to complete this ambitious programme by April 2011 and are a dynamic organisation, keen to develop new business and deliver more for less in these challenging times.

They are currently seeking a Board member with a financial background. The Board play a key role in setting the future direction for Barnet Homes and ensure its ongoing success and future viability. Ideally they would like an independent director with business acumen, who is also a qualified accountant to complement the existing skills on their Team. The role is non executive and requires someone who is able to maintain a strategic focus without getting drawn into operational detail and who can bring a creative approach and longer term perspective to problem solving.

In return, you will have the opportunity to work with a diverse and skilled team and know that the services being delivered on the ground, truly make a difference to our residents.
