Board Member

Croydon, Sussex £2,500 per annum

Help shape our future

Join our Board at Eldon Housing Association and become part of a team driving through a complete transformation programme. As an established provider of Extra Care, Sheltered Housing and Facilities Management Services in and around Croydon and Sussex we are proud to provide high standards of service to older and vulnerable people in a passionate, professional and caring manner. Eldon now owns just under 300 homes across 13 locations in Croydon and West Sussex providing a mix of general needs, semi-independent living, sheltered and extra care sheltered housing.  The Association also has a PFI contract, a Registered Domiciliary Care Agency and a new extra care sheltered project of 48 flats completed and handed over last year. As a Board member you will make a significant contribution to the future direction of Eldon, adding good governance, values, ideas and inspiration.  

With experience in sheltered or older people housing, operating at a senior level and particular involvement in CQC inspections, you will contribute to driving forward our continued success and become a member of at least one other committee on the board. This is a great opportunity to contribute to the Board of an independent and sustainable organisation with future development plans. The successful candidate will have the interpersonal skills, passion and commitment to work effectively with the Board and Senior Leadership Team to deliver Eldon’s vision. We have a relatively new Chief Executive with a mission to lead collaboratively through change and a supportive and committed Chair to direct and steer us through the challenges ahead for this sector.

If you have the experience we need and the genuine interest and ability to contribute to our board then we welcome your application. For an informal discussion about the role, please contact our consultant: Carol Drummond at The Housing Executive on: 020 7620 3048 or email: rec@thehousingexecutive.com
