North & East Housing Association is seeking to appoint members to join its Board of Management.
North & East exists to provide high quality, secure and affordable housing, appropriate to the needs of families and individuals in the northern and eastern regions of Ireland. We support thriving communities through quality housing and continuing support for our tenants. We are a values-based organisation and a not-for-profit business with social objectives, which means that all our surpluses are reinvested in the organisation and in the provision of housing.
We particularly invite interest from candidates with previous Board experience, and skills in the following areas:
- Change management and organisational development.
- Knowledge of the housing sector in Ireland.
- Governance
- Legal/Property Law
Role: The board is responsible for providing leadership, approving strategy for the company to achieve its vision and mission, reviewing the performance of our services, reviewing risk and ensuring proper compliance with required governance and legal requirements.
Remuneration: These are voluntary, unpaid appointments as North & East has charitable status.
Time requirements: Attendance at six to eight Board meetings (a mixture of in-person and remote) and one in-person strategy day. Meetings are normally held on a Monday evening at 6pm for 2 hours with additional time needed for preparation. Board members will also sit on a Board Committee which normally meets four times per year, aligning with the Board meeting dates. The committees normally meet remotely.
Term of office: Appointments are for an initial term of three years.
