Highland Housing Alliance seeks non-executive directors to shape housing in the highlands
Are you ready to make a meaningful impact on housing in the Highlands? Highland Housing Alliance (HHA) is recruiting up to five non-executive directors to join its board following a recent restructuring. This is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to the work of a not-for-profit housing developer dedicated to delivering homes and regenerating communities across the region.
Who we are
Established in 2005, HHA has been at the forefront of providing Mid-Market Rent (MMR) homes. With over 470 MMR homes already delivered and 177 properties expected to be completed within the next year, our developments support local workforces and stimulate regional economies. Beyond housing, HHA has led transformational regeneration projects in Inverness, turning disused buildings into vibrant living spaces.
The role of non-executive directors
As a non-executive director, you will:
- Provide independent oversight and constructive challenge to the executive team.
- Oversee and review HHA’s policies, strategies, and financial controls.
- Monitor performance against budgets and ensure robust risk management.
- Act as an ambassador for HHA, representing the organisation in public.
This is a strategic, governance-focused role that involves up to two days per month, including attendance at four board meetings, an annual general meeting, and two development days.
Who we’re looking for
We are seeking individuals with a passion for housing and experience in areas such as:
- Financial management, accounting, or risk.
- Housing development or property markets, particularly in the Highlands.
Candidates should also demonstrate skills in collaboration, constructive challenge, strategic thinking, decision-making, and effective communication. Previous non-executive experience is not required, as induction and training will be provided.
Why join us?
This role offers a unique opportunity to shape housing policy and contribute to Highland communities’ social and economic wellbeing. As a non-executive director, you will help ensure HHA’s continued success in delivering homes and landmark regeneration projects. Successful candidates will be provided with a salary of £7,500 per annum.
