Closing date: 21st March 2025, at Close of business
Salary and Employment Details: Voluntary Position

Job Description
Lanarkshire Housing Association, a Registered Social Landlord and Scottish charity based in Motherwell, is seeking applications to fill a number of voluntary Management Committee vacancies from people with an interest in contributing to the work of the Association.

Formed in 1978, LHA provides good-quality affordable homes for those in housing need and currently has over 900 properties throughout Lanarkshire. Supporting people to achieve a better future is at the heart of everything we do and we do this in partnership with Local Authorities, the Scottish Government, our tenants, customers, and other stakeholders.

We are looking for enthusiastic and committed individuals who are passionate about improving communities to join our Management Committee. As a member of the Committee, you will have the opportunity to help shape the future of the services to tenants and assist in the development of services we provide to the wider community. In this role, you will be part of the team responsible for the overall strategic direction of the business along with the ultimate control of financial management and corporate governance.

Applications are open to all, and we are committed to equality and diversity; however, you should be able to detail the skills, abilities and experience you can provide that could make a positive contribution to the work of the Association. Applicants with skills and experience in housing, property maintenance, finance, law, or corporate governance would be particularly welcome, as are applications from tenants and community champions.

You will be expected to prepare for, attend and contribute to a minimum of six Committee Meetings per year, take part in training sessions and participate in additional Sub Committees. Training and support will be provided to assist you in your role and you will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses.

Notes:
If you are interested in this type of role and wish to join the Management Committee, then Expressions of Interest should be submitted by close of business on 21st March 2025.
Should you wish to have an informal discussion about the role, please call Henry Coyle, Chief Executive, on 01698 269119.
