Join EHA’s board of trustees – provide strategic oversight for a safer, stronger social housing future.

As we continue to grow, we are strengthening our governance and seeking two experienced and strategic individuals to join our Board of Trustees. As a trustee, you will provide high-level oversight, ensuring strong leadership, regulatory compliance, and financial resilience.
We are specifically looking for trustees with senior-level expertise in one or both of the following areas:
- Health & safety within the social housing sector
- Finance and strategic oversight in the charity or housing sectors
As a trustee, you will advise, challenge, and support EHA’s leadership, helping us meet our legal obligations, protect tenant wellbeing, and maintain long-term sustainability.
️ Trustee oversight role: health & safety (social housing focus)
We are seeking a trustee to provide strategic oversight and governance on health and safety systems across EHA. You will help ensure we meet the highest safety standards for tenants, staff, and volunteers, and remain fully compliant with housing regulations.
Key areas of expertise include:
- Interpreting and overseeing compliance with H&S laws relevant to RSLs
- Ensuring robust systems for fire, gas, asbestos, and communal area safety
- Providing risk management insight across housing stock and services
- Understanding the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH) expectations
- Reviewing inspection, audit, and incident-reporting frameworks
- Championing a strong, proactive safety culture across the organisation
Your contribution will help ensure EHA protects people and property through effective governance.
Trustee oversight role: finance & charity sector governance
We are also recruiting a trustee with the financial acumen to guide EHA’s strategic financial direction, ensuring transparency, accountability, and sustainability across operations.
This role suits someone with financial leadership experience in charitable housing providers, housing associations, or social enterprises.
Key responsibilities include:
- Monitoring long-term financial strategy, planning, and risk
- Understanding Charity SORP and RSL financial standards
- Overseeing reserves policy, budgeting, and funding management
- Ensuring compliance with the Charity Commission and RSH
- Supporting transparent and effective financial reporting
- Holding executive teams to account while enabling performance
Your insight will strengthen the board’s ability to govern with integrity and impact.
⏱️ Time commitment
Trustees are expected to attend monthly board meetings (approximately 2.5 hours online) and commit an additional 4 hours per month to board-related duties, including reading papers, joining sub-committees, or contributing expertise.
What you’ll gain
- A high-impact role in a values-led, tenant-focused RSL
- Opportunities to shape policy, compliance, and social impact
- Professional development in governance, housing, and regulation
- The fulfilment of helping improve lives through safe, secure housing

By joining our Board, you will help change lives—ensuring that safe, secure, and affordable housing is not a privilege, but a right.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Your background might be within a federated charity operating nationally or globally; you might work within a not-for-profit which delivers its impact through a network model or membership body; or you might operate in a corporate setting, perhaps operating franchises to reach your customers.
You will instinctively understand what it is to lead a like-minded movement of organisations, who together are far more than the sum of their parts.
You will be ready to get stuck into understanding what makes our local services tick and how best we can help them to have the voice, capacity and impact to change the world for unpaid carers.
More generally, we’re looking for a strategic, forward-thinking leader, someone who can challenge and champion our direction and bring fresh ideas. Your insight could shape where we go next and help steer how we develop our network relationships and local delivery.
If you love collaborating with ambitious teams, challenging the status quo and finding smart, inventive ways to make an impact – this could be the perfect role for you.

Background
First Step is a Charity based in the London Borough of Havering, working with families of children with special needs and/or disabilities. For more than 35 years, we have supported in excess of 1,500 families and their children.
Families are referred or self-refer to us at a moment of crisis or uncertainty, normally pre-diagnosis, where they have concerns about their child. We provide a range of family-centric services tailored to each family’s and child’s needs.
During our history we’ve had highs and lows, including overcoming a challenging time following the withdrawal of funding from the Local Authority in 2017 as part of their own austerity cuts. Despite this, we’ve managed to sustain the charity through increased fundraising.
Our current Board has more than 80 years of experience, and over the next couple of years we’re looking to add some new and dynamic Trustees to strengthen the team and bring refreshed critical and creative thinking to our Charity.
The Chair of Trustees Role
Our Chair is looking to stand down after 10 fulfilling years, and we are looking for a new Chair to work with our Board and CEO to further strengthen our organisation long into the future.
The new Chair should be ambitious for our Charity and have the vision and energy to help it extend its reach and impact, along with being an experienced leader who has empathy for our families, and lives our values.
They will need to have the ability to lead from the front in a collaborative style that builds consensus amongst the board, so we can meet the challenges ahead.
First Step are passionate about creating a diverse workforce and positively encourage applications from under-represented communities.
For further information or an informal conversation please contact Mark Halls, CEO.

Our Linked Minds Befriending Project supports people who are socially isolated in Ealing and Hounslow due to a diagnosed mental health problem.
This is an opportunity to become a Befriender.
On successful completion of specialist mental health training, the Befriender is matched with someone suitable, by a Co-ordinator who then acts as a (non-clinical) supervisor for the befriending period, which is limited to a year. (Where applicable, this can count towards continuous professional development).
Befriender, client and supervisor make a plan together with a goal to work towards, and the Befriender makes a weekly 1-2 hour visit to the client's home, where they might stay in and chat over a cup of tea, go out for a walk together, visit a cafe or undertake a local activity.
These visits make such a difference for the client, increasing their confidence and helping them explore and work towards getting a job, joining a club, meeting other people or whatever their goal may be.
The aim is that, by the end of the year, clients feel better about themselves, more valued, resilient, empowered, more linked to their community and better equipped for their journeys in recovery.
But volunteering with BEfriend not only enriches the lives of those who are isolated, it also offers immense personal rewards.
As a Befriender, you’ll get to know inspirational people with fascinating stories, develop new skills and be part of a supportive team that values compassion and connection.
This role is for UK residents only, and applicants are required to live in or very near the boroughs of Ealing or Hounslow.
After applying, volunteers will need to provide 2 character references and complete an enhanced DBS check (cost covered and organised by Linked Minds).
The check is carried out as part of our Safeguarding policy to protect our clients who are ‘vulnerable people’.
BEfriend is a one-to-one volunteer befriending service, supporting socially isolated people in the London boroughs of Ealing and Hounslow.
