Training Project Executive in Lincolnshire

Make a difference – join them to set their direction and oversee their growth. Their vision is simple: to be there to support people when they need them. They do this by putting people first, whether they be a tenant, student, learner, partner or colleague, they are here to create spaces where people can feel at home, get the support they need, and experience the quality they deserve. They are a values-led housing, care and support, and skills and education organisation, providing affordable homes alongside services that help people to thrive. This is important work, and their integrated approach means they can deliver long-term impact for individuals and communities.

Last year marked 25 years of their organisation and all they have delivered so far, but that’s just the start of it. They’re ambitious, looking to deliver more for the people they support, put customers' needs and priorities at the heart of their decision making, and their positive and inclusive culture means that it’s a great place for people to work and thrive. As they continue to grow and evolve, strong governance and constructive challenge from their Board are essential to keeping them focused on their purpose, their customers and sustainable delivery.

They’re looking for people to join their Board across a range of roles, including Board Member, Committee Chair and Independent Committee Member. They welcome a mix of skills and lived experience to help shape their direction. They need you! If you already have bags of experience, then they want to hear from you!

They are after some great Board Members and Independent Committee Members to join them and they need people with a variety of skills and/or lived experiences to ensure that they ask the right questions and get the necessary assurances they need to keep them on track.

They are recruiting for:

• Chair of their Finance and Development Committee - You’ll bring strong financial and commercial expertise, with the ability to interpret complex reports, scrutinise risk and performance, and provide constructive strategic challenge to support sustainable growth and investment decisions. You’ll have Board experience to bring to the role.
• Chair of their Operations Committee - You’ll bring strong operational leadership with the ability to oversee service performance, customer outcomes and compliance, interrogate operational risk and assurance, and provide constructive challenge to drive continuous improvement and a positive culture. You’ll have Board experience to bring to the role.

If you are living in one of their properties then you can also make a difference for them by either joining their Board as their Tenant Representative, or by joining one of their committees as an Independent Representative. You will use your unique experience and insight as one of their customers to help them be even better at what they do.

Interviews will be held on 29 June and 2 July, in person, in Gainsborough, Lincolnshire. Closing date for applications 23:59 - 10 June 2026.

What they will give you:

• The chance to make a real difference for their customers
• A friendly place in which to deliver your services to them
• Full governance support in your role
• An iPad so that you can access all your board or committee papers, and any other documentation that they need you to have to carry out your role
• Remuneration and reimbursement of reasonable expenses, in accordance with your Agreement for Services and their Board Member Expenses Policy
• Training and support provided for all roles, including their ICM positions if this is your first role

What you will give them in return:

• Your time and your commitment
• You will be suitably prepared for all your meetings, comfortable reading reports and confident enough to share your views with them (they don’t bite)! They have six board meetings a year (Monday mornings and a mix of in person and virtual). They also ask that you give enough time in the week before the meeting to read the reports so that you are prepared for the meeting.
• They also have two board strategy events per year. The main event is usually in November and is an overnight stay (Friday morning to Saturday lunchtime) and their other event is in May for a full day.
• If you are joining one of their committees as an Independent Representative then the committees meet quarterly, and they would still love for you to join them at their two strategy events too.

Their commitment to diversity: They are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive governance structure to reflect the diversity of the communities they serve. They welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, including those underrepresented at Board level: people from ethnically diverse communities, disabled people, LGBTQ+, and people with lived experience of social housing.
