Chair

Are you an inspiring leader with a passion for making a difference? Riverside Scotland is seeking a Chairperson to guide our Board through an exciting new chapter.

With a new five-year Corporate Strategy launching in April 2026, we’re focusing on four key priorities:
Homes, Customers, People and Care & Support.

As Chair, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping our future - combining strong governance with a commitment to social impact.

  As a direct subsidiary of the Riverside Group - one of the UK's largest housing associations with over 75,000 homes across 159 local authorities - we operate with a high degree of autonomy while benefiting from shared services and significant capital funding driving efficiency through the business and improving customer outcomes. Last year we reported a strong financial performance despite economic challenges.
• Customer Satisfaction: 87% tenant satisfaction with services and 98% satisfaction with engagement.
• Innovation:
  Award-winning Housing First for Families service and pioneering energy efficiency projects supporting Scotland's net-zero goals.
