About Meridian Home Start
Meridian Home Start is looking for three new Non-Executive Board Members to help shape the next stage of our development as a community-focused provider of affordable rented homes in the heart of Greenwich. We work in partnership with local stakeholders to deliver safe, sustainable and well managed housing for local people.
About Us
Established by the Royal Borough of Greenwich, specifically to provide affordable privately rented homes in the borough. We currently own and manage 208 homes with a further 62 in development.
The Role
We are seeking to strengthen and increase the board through the appointment of three Non-executive directors who can bring strategic insight, independent judgement and constructive challenge. One appointment will also chair our newly established Audit & Risk Committee, helping to embed effective assurance, risk and financial oversight arrangements.
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.
Skills and Experience
We are particularly interested in hearing from candidates with senior-level experience in one or more of the following areas:
- finance, audit, risk, assurance or governance, ideally with a recognised accountancy qualification for the Audit & Risk Committee Chair role.
- development, construction, regeneration or building surveying;
- housing, property or asset management, including resident and building safety;
You do not need previous board experience for every role, but you will need sound judgement, integrity, collaborative behaviours and the confidence to contribute at a strategic level.
Diversity and Inclusion
MHS is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and welcomes applications from a wide range of backgrounds, including residents and people with strong connections to Greenwich.
