Executive Director (Business Support) – Berwickshire Housing

Location(s): Berwickshire, Scottish Borders
Closing date: 14 Apr 2023
Salary: £82,500 plus car allowance of £5,000

About the role

We are a community focused, innovative, and ambitious Housing Association based in Berwickshire in the Scottish Borders. We are passionate about our role in providing affordable homes to rent to suit a range of lifestyles, personal needs and family sizes. Social innovation is also core to what we do – by working closely with other Housing Associations and partners we have successfully developed a range of support services for our customers including health and wellbeing, befriending, and energy support funding.

This is a broad executive role that encompasses not only our financial, company secretarial and treasury management functions but also leads on all other areas of business support. In addition, you will play a key role in our commercial subsidiary which primarily oversees the Hoprigshiels Windfarm which is a joint venture between BHA and Community Energy Scotland. We therefore seek a skilled financial professional with strong commercial acumen and the ability to work effectively with a range of partners and funders. You will be forward thinking, risk aware, able to deliver regulatory compliance and have the collaborative and supportive style that gets the best out of people.

A qualified accountant but not necessarily from the housing sector, you will already have experience in a successful leadership role and be looking for that next challenge that fits with your values and strong sense of social purpose.
