Do you fancy helping people who are Invisible to be seen and heard - if so, read on!
Horizon Housing's existing Board of Management are not known for being shy and retiring, consequently they are looking for people who can think out the box, challenge orthodox thinking and have a questioning mind with a good sense of humour!
At Horizon they are committed and passionate about people being able to live full and independent lives in a home and inclusive environment that meets their needs. As a result, they provide accessible, affordable houses and services owning and managing 860 properties across 12 Scottish local authorities.
A partner in Link Group, the voluntary Board always works in the best interests of their tenants and everyone who uses their services, championing the need for accessible services and independent living, to support people who have a range of different needs. Quite simply – they need many more homes suitably designed for ALL needs and they want those who are equally passionate to join them.
You’ll have a chance to learn new skills and interact with people from different experiences, attend conferences and events and get support with equipment and technology if you need it. Board positions are voluntary but out of pocket expenses and childcare costs will be paid fully and quickly.
Committed to diversity Horizon would really welcome people from all ages and backgrounds, particularly disabled people, younger people and people from the black and minority ethnic community. They are particularly interested in hearing from those with skills in finance, legal, business, and/or marketing.
Does this all sound like your thing? If so, please email Lorna Cameron, Chief Executive, lorna.cameron@horizonhousing.org and she will be delighted to speak to you.
