Vice Chair and Board Member

Vice Chair and Board Member

Location: Hackney, Islington, and Newham; London
Hours: Approximately one day per month

PBHA is a housing association with charitable aims that creates positive change in people’s lives. As well as homes and support, we empower people to learn, access work and discover their creative talents. Based in Hackney, Islington and Newham, we work with people who are homeless, have mental ill health, learning difficulties and multiple needs. Our work enables people to move on and lead independent lives. We are committed to mutual support, participation and personal development for both staff and service users.

For over 50 years, we have been committed to enabling local people to leave poverty and unemployment through mutual support and self-help. More recently, we have been able to provide more intensive support to assist independence for our tenants. We work in close collaboration with partners who respect our contribution.

We are looking to recruit two new Board Members: one with Finance (Qualified Accountant) experience and one with Senior Supported Housing experience who will also be Vice Chair of the Board. The new members will report into the Chair and work with the Committee Chairs and the Senior Leadership Team to increase the impact of PBHA’s work with current and potential tenants and participants.

Peter Bedford Housing Association is committed to equality and diversity and aspire for our Board and staff to reflect the diverse community we work in. We particularly welcome applications from women, disabled people, those aged under 30 and ethnically diverse candidates.
