Connect Housing - West Yorkshire
Non-Executive Directors
Salary: £4,965 for c. 12 days per annum
Connect Housing has a strong social purpose. With some board members retiring, we are looking to attract new members who share our vision ‘to be a trusted, well-connected, landlord working to build a sustainable and just society where good homes, neighbourhoods and opportunities help people enjoy happy, healthy lives’ and who will help to build a board that is representative of our diverse customer base.
We provide over 3,700 homes and holistic support services across West Yorkshire meeting a range of needs. These include:
- Family and single household homes for rent and sale
- Supported accommodation and visiting support for young people, people living with dementia, people experiencing physical or mental ill health, as well as women and children surviving domestic abuse
Our current corporate strategy, concluding in 2027, is built on the three strategic themes of ‘Fairer, Greener, Smarter’. As a key delivery partner of the Mayoral Combined Authority, through the West Yorkshire Housing Partnership, our plans are closely aligned with the West Yorkshire Housing Strategy, and our roles as both a developer of new homes, and collaborating on community place-shaping, are very important to us. As we develop a strategy to 2030, it’s an incredibly exciting time to come on board.
