Board Trainee Programme

The programme involves a mixture of training and observations to help you develop the skills a Board member needs.

We welcome applications from anyone over the age of 18 who has either a lived experience of social housing and/or can bring diversity to our Board.

You do not need to have any previous experience of social housing but you do need to share our vision and passion for achieving ‘life without barriers’.

• Technical training in a number of subjects to give you the confidence to ask questions around things like finance, risk and performance.

In return, we will need you to invest around two days per month towards reading papers, attending meetings and participating in the formal training programme.

The programme aims to offer Board experience as well as a bespoke training and development plan. And the ultimate goal is for trainees to become Board members either at believe housing or elsewhere within the sector.

• Training to help you understand how we meet our customers’ needs.
• What you hope to get out of the Board Trainee Programme in terms of your personal development.
• Opportunity to observe believe housing Board and committee meetings.
• A comprehensive induction to believe housing.
• Ongoing support to give you the skills and knowledge to operate in a Board environment.
