Zetetick (ZHC) is a well-established and unique specialist housing charity, offering exempt housing provision for supported living.

We provide homes and specialised services to support vulnerable adults with learning difficulties, associated disabilities, autism and mental health issues, helping them to sustain their tenancies and become valued members of their local communities. We offer support, freedom and opportunity.

Our mission is to enable choice and deliver dignity and our aim is to become ‘life partners’ with our tenants and to help support them to deal with all their future housing needs.

For well over a decade we have been housing people in London and the South East and key to our success has been partnership working with those who share our core values of social inclusion within the local community and focused activities that deliver positive outcomes for our Tenants. 

We are now looking to recruit two voluntary trustees to join our welcoming and friendly Board to support our further growth.

Our trustees enable Zetetick to thrive, so we need a wide range of skills to address the challenges we face and to navigate the changing landscape in which we operate. We’re keen to hear from people who can bring their skills, experience and enthusiasm to a values led Board.

To complement our current Board, we are looking for:

• A Trustee who has Finance experience and ideally can add value across controls, processes and risk and who will also serve on our Audit, Risk and Finance Committee.

• A Trustee that can bring either housing management, local authority commissioning experience or legal skills.

Both roles require strategic thinking, the ability to absorb and challenge information and a good appreciation of what constitutes good governance. We are looking for proactive people who are passionate about making a difference and who describe themselves as collaborative, enquiring and inclusive. In return we will support you to develop your trustee skills through ongoing training and support.

At ZHC diversity and inclusion are central to our values and the way that we operate. We are committed to equality of opportunity for all and we welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds.

The time commitment is 4 Board Meetings a year held currently on Thursday evenings at 5pm (mix of virtual and in person) an Away Day and attendance up to 4 times a year on a committee plus ad hoc meetings, as required.  

If this challenge appeals to you and you share our passion for enabling people with learning difficulties to have quality housing; where care, family and home come first every day, we’d love to hear from you.

Closing date for applications is Tuesday 26 October 2021 at 9am.
