Campbell Tickell is proud to be recruiting to the roles of Chair and Treasurer at Lake District Housing Association. Lake District Housing Association Ltd operates a small retirement community of 26 apartments in a beautiful setting on the shore of Lake Windermere at Calgarth Park, a Grade II listed Georgian villa. We are a not-for-profit company registered as a community benefit society, and we have a small Board of Trustees which helps to guide the strategy and direction of the organisation.
We are currently seeking two new independent Trustees to join our Board as Chair and Treasurer, to work alongside our resident Trustees to keep the organisation safe, sustainable and well-run. This is a period of change for our Board, and a programme of transformation has already started, so you will be joining at a very interesting time. While considerable progress has already been achieved, there is much to do as we continue to professionalise our operations and we are really looking forward to our new Chair and Treasurer bringing their expertise to bear.
Role Requirements
- Chair: You will bring considerable leadership experience as well as proven experience as a Chair of either a Board or committee. Your strategic planning ability will be key to this role, as well as your ability to get the best from our Board.
- Treasurer: A qualified accountant, you will bring a commercial eye to our operation and the financial acumen to keep our organisation safe and viable. While we expect you to have experience in a senior leadership role, we are open to this being your first Trustee role.
For both roles, we are open to your sector background, but you will need to share our passion for independent retirement living in a caring, welcoming and supportive environment. These are critical roles for our small organisation and will have a big impact.
