Join to apply for the Board Members and Committee Chair role at GatenbySanderson
Remuneration - £7,000 per annum with an additional £1,500 for chairing a committee.
This job post will be advertised for a minimum period on LinkedIn. Closing date: 9am on Monday 20th October 2025.
Our mission is to provide homes we are proud of and to improve lives. Could you bring the commitment, skills and experiences we need to be one of our new Board Members and to chair one of our committees?
At First Choice Homes Oldham we recognise the key role we play as a local anchor organisation, creating thriving and independent communities and delivering excellent landlord and support services. We own and manage around 11,500 properties across the borough and surrounding areas, with around 10% of the local population living in one of our homes. Underpinned by excellent governance and strong financial performance, we have the highest regulatory (G1/V1) rating.
Two opportunities are available:
* Chair of the People and Governance Committee: an impressive track record of leading, and especially transforming, the HR, people and cultural aspects of an organisation. Very likely to have prior non-executive experience. A CIPD qualification is desirable but not essential.
* Property professional with strategic leadership experience in the social housing sector (e.g., Director, Executive Director or NED). Essential to bring a good understanding of strategic asset investment, potentially with knowledge of new development programmes. Experience in regeneration and an understanding of sustainability are also required. This could be your first, or next, non-executive role.
