Become a Board member

We're looking to recruit members to join our Board and help us deliver our five-year strategy to co-create homes and communities where people can flourish.

Why join the Board?

• As a Board member you will make sure tenant and resident voices are represented in the strategic decisions we take.
• You'll gain a greater understanding and insight into the challenges ISHA faces in providing affordable homes in our core boroughs.
• As part of an experienced team you will learn new skills in the governance of non-profit organisations.

"I wanted to be on the Board because I believe in social housing in London, in the difference that shared ownership and low rent flats make to families. I feel rewarded when I raise an idea and realise that intuition, life experience, and common sense have come together and the idea is a good one."

- Alice Powell, ISHA resident, Board member and Vice-Chair  

How often does the Board meet?

Board members are required to attend six evening meetings and two away days a year. You'll be asked to join our of our committees.
