Job Description
Join our Board and make a difference
Our Board Members are central to our success. Through effective governance, and strategic oversight, the Board helps shape the direction of the organisation, ensuring that we remain focused on delivering high-quality services, maintaining strong financial performance and achieving positive outcomes for our customers.
Serving on the Board is a rewarding opportunity to contribute your skills, experience and insight to an organisation that makes a meaningful difference to people’s lives every day. Your contribution can help shape the future of Albyn and the communities we support.
This is an important and exciting time to join Albyn. We are a well established and ambitious organisation, providing homes and services to tenants in nearly 4,000 social rented homes. As the largest independent registered social landlord in the Highlands, we play a significant role in supporting people, communities and the regional economy.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
