Are you inspired by the opportunity to make a positive difference to people and communities? If so, our Board Trainee role may be an exciting and rewarding opportunity.

We have joined up with the Housing Diversity Network (HDN) to deliver a two‑year learning, development, mentoring programme to support and nurture a diverse cohort of future Board Members.

This programme is designed to support your development through learning, mentoring and hands‑on experience. It aims to develop diverse leaders at Board level.

Throughout the programme you’ll gain insights into what it means to be a Board member by attending board and committee meetings, contributing to discussions that shape our services, and getting supported by an experienced board member as a buddy.
