Campbell Tickell are proud to be recruiting to the roles of Chair of the Board and Board Members at Unity Homes and Enterprise.

Are you passionate about transforming lives through affordable housing and community development? Unity Homes and Enterprise is looking for dedicated individuals to join our Board and play a key role in guiding our strategic direction.

We are a successful, independent, and ambitious registered provider of social housing with c. 1,400 homes in Leeds and Kirklees. In addition to the provision of high-quality homes and services our social purpose also encompasses our aims to help improve the life chances and economic success of our tenants and of the communities within which we work, and to fight inequality and empower BME communities.

Chair of Unity Homes and Enterprise Group: We are seeking a Chair who understands what great Board culture looks like and has the ability to harness and maximise the effectiveness of our Board, to maintain our high standards of governance. Previous non-executive board level experience, and experience chairing in some capacity are important, but we are open to this being your first full Board Chair role, and an understanding of the housing sector would be beneficial, but not essential.

Board members for Unity Housing:  For these roles, ideally you will bring some previous Board experience however that is not an essential requirement. We are seeking the following:

Strategic HR/ People: For this role, you will bring senior experience gained in a People/ HR role. We are open to the sector background in which it was gained.  Housing Management: You will bring senior experience in a housing leadership role gained in the social housing sector. Additionally, experience of regeneration would be beneficial. Finance: A qualified accountant, you will have senior experience gained in the social housing sector, and be ready to bring your expertise to our Audit and Risk Committee.   We are looking for Board members who share our passion and drive to help people create a better future for themselves and their communities. Your readiness to engage, ability to demonstrate that you share our absolute passion for what we do, and commitment to our social purpose are every bit as important as your skill set.
