Resident Board Member

Job description

We are looking for someone with these kinds of skills:

• Experience in evaluating, problem-solving, and making decisions – that doesn’t have to be in a formal way – you might have gained this experience in a job or even juggling a busy family – the important thing is that you are willing to grow and learn
• Ability to work together as part of a team – we rely on our governing board to pull together to make the decisions we need so teamwork is really important
• Good listening skills and great communication skills – you will already be used to listening to other’s views and speaking in a group and be interested in learning more
• Not afraid to challenge the team in a constructive way and raise questions about the work we do – you will be the vital voice of our residents so you must be interested in thinking about this diverse and wide perspective.

What’s in it for you?

• Payment for your service:  apart from the opportunity to make a difference for everyone, Arhag board members get paid a fee of £2,500 a year, (subject to tax and national insurance if that is relevant for you), and we also cover your reasonable expenses.
• On the job training: you don’t need to have board or committee experience; we will provide support and training for you.
• Opportunity to work with a great team – our board members come from all walks of life and experience. Working together is a great opportunity to meet and grow your skills in a supportive environment.

Everyone is welcome

We are committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion and are keen to encourage applications from underrepresented groups to our board. This includes young people, individuals from ethnically diverse backgrounds, and people with disabilities.
