About Us

At Habinteg, inclusion drives all that we do, be that our engagement with staff, the services we offer to tenants, the environments we create, and the homes we deliver. One in four people in the UK are disabled but most homes are designed to exclude them. We believe in designing homes and creating neighbourhoods that everyone can share and enjoy.  We have 3350 homes across the country from Tyneside to Cornwall. We are the co-creators and champions of the Lifetime Homes Standard, sponsors of the Wheelchair Housing Design Guide, and we provide expert training and consultancy through our Centre for Accessible Environments (CAE) in-house team.

Board Member and Chair Designate Appointments & Remuneration Committee

The Chair of our Appointments & Remuneration Committee is due to stand down next year.

The successful candidate will step into the role of Chair when the current incumbent steps down. After assuming the position of chair, remuneration will increase to £5,500 per annum to reflect the inherent responsibilities of the role.

Board Member

Our policy and campaigning make us unique in the social housing sector. We are known as the lead provider and advocate of accessible homes. This requires us to be at the forefront of the social policy agenda to set out what is needed now and into the future. We are seeking a candidate with a strong campaigning, influencing or advocacy background. Some experience of media, PR or marketing would be a bonus. We would particularly encourage applications from disabled people as there is no stronger voice than the voice of experience
