Join the Management Committee

Southside Housing Association has an excellent opportunity for the right individual to join the Association’s Management Committee where you will assist in shaping the future for our tenants, other residents and stakeholders.

 We are a long established, locally run organisation delivering high quality, affordable homes and a wide range of other services.  We currently own and manage approximately 2300 homes for social rent across the south side of Glasgow. Our wholly owned subsidiary Southside Factoring and Related Services (SFARS) also manages 225 Mid-Market Rent homes, and currently provides a property factoring service to around 1000 homeowners and commercial enterprises.

 We have a dedicated Management Committee who set the strategic direction and oversee the operation of our services.  We are regulated by the Scottish Housing Regulator and are registered as a Scottish Charity.

 We encourage diversity of experience on our board and are keen to hear from people with a range of backgrounds and experiences who share our vision and values, and want to make a difference.  While we are keen to attract members from our local community, it is important to attract people who can be objective, accountable and demonstrate leadership and integrity while committing to the values of the Association in a governance capacity.  All Committee Members will adhere to a Code of Conduct for Governing Body Members.

What you can expect from Southside H.A:

• A full programme of induction to the Management Committee
• Training tailored to your professional and personal development needs
• Opportunity to work as part of a team making decisions and governing the interests of the Association.

This is a voluntary position and attendance at Management Committee meetings is expected in person on a monthly basis.  Members are also required to join a Sub-Committee, which will meet quarterly.
