A provider of housing and care for older people is looking for construction expertise as it launches a recruitment campaign for new board members to help drive a five-year strategy.
Bield Housing and Care is seeking to appoint voluntary board members with expertise across a range of fields including finance, housing regulation, HR, construction, and corporate development.
The organisation supports more than 5,000 tenants across over 170 developments and is guided by a strategy to enhance independent living, digital transformation and environmental impact.
Paul Edie, chair of the Bield board, said, “Providing high-quality housing and care is one of the most meaningful challenges facing Scotland today, and we need passionate, forward-thinking leaders to help guide our response. This is a rare opportunity to shape policy and practice at the very top of one of Scotland’s most progressive housing organisations.”
Applications are being invited from individuals with experience in older people policy, finance and treasury, housing regulation, development and construction, corporate transformation, HR and technology.
