Job Description
Opportunity to join our Board
Do you want to be part of an organisation that is making a real difference to people’s lives and have the skills and experience that we need?
We are seeking to co-opt up to two members for our Board of Management. All applications are welcome but we are particularly looking for people with a background in the following areas:
- Charity finance skills
- ICT/digitalisation
- Communications/social media
We are a community-based housing association which has been serving the communities of Shettleston, Greenfield, Springboig and Sandyhills in the East End of Glasgow for 50 years. Our vision is of thriving and prosperous local communities where all residents enjoy great homes and services, an attractive physical environment, and good life chances.
As a Registered Social Landlord and a Scottish Charity (No. SCO36687), we have nearly 2,500 rented homes in management and an ongoing development programme of new homes. In addition, we have an established track record of delivering non-housing projects and services to benefit the community, often in collaboration with other local voluntary organisations and agencies.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The Association is the parent of two subsidiary companies: Upkeep Shettleston Community Enterprise and East End Housing Development Company. Around 100 people are employed across the Group which has a combined annual turnover of c £14 M.
The Association’s Board consists mainly of tenants and other local residents elected by the members of the Association who all live within our area of operation. There are also three designated spaces for the Board to fill by co-option who do not need to live within the local community.
The Board meets seven times a year. It also has two sub-committees and Board Members usually serve on at least one of these. There are other occasional meetings and training sessions. Meetings are usually held on a Tuesday evening, with the option to attend in person or online.
