Recruiting for Board members

We are looking to recruit two new members of our Board:

  • Tenant Board member
  • Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee (ARC)

Both roles are paid positions, the tenant Board member will receive £6,000 a year; the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee will receive £9,500 a year.

Red Kite is a tenant-led, not-for-profit, charitable housing association which owns and manages 6,600
homes all within 15 miles of High Wycombe, in the south of Buckinghamshire. Our tenants and leaseholders take an active role in everything that we do. It is an enormously exciting time to be joining our Board. We have the group structure and financial resources in place to deliver some exciting plans and are seeking people that can bring experience, leadership, challenge and support to enable us to position our Board to help drive us and to work with us to realise our goals.

We are interested in attracting a range of applicants to maintain a strong skills mix and diversity within our Board. Applicants offering any of the following will be particularly welcomed:

  • Previous ARC experience (for the post of Chair)
  • Leadership
  • Business management
  • Interest in our communities
  • Customer services
  • Finance
  • Property and development.

Successful candidates might come from a range of sectors but will bring a commitment to make a real contribution to Red Kite.
