VIVID

At VIVID, we are proud to be a social landlord and large-scale developer, providing affordable homes and support services to 74,000 people across Hampshire, Surrey, and Berkshire. Despite a difficult operating environment for all organisations like ours, we are growing and improving our performance in key areas. With a turnover of approximately £357m and the highest possible ratings from the Regulator for Social Housing, we are at the forefront of our sector.

We are challenging ourselves to continually improve the quality of our homes and services to our customers, whilst maintaining our financial resilience and, part-way through our 3-year business transformation programme, we have seen some great progress on these fronts. Nonetheless, the priority for every single one of our people continues to be on supporting our customers, and improving customer experience.

In order to continue our work and maintain our strong position, we need brilliant people at board level who can help us anticipate and respond to the opportunities and challenges ahead.

We are looking for two new people to join our board;

1. one person with strategic-level financial leadership experience to join our board in October/November 2024, and then Chair our Audit & Risk Committee from July 2025, and;
2. one person with strong corporate finance and debt capital markets expertise to join us as a Non-Executive Director in October/November 2024 and serve on our Treasury Committee.

As an organisation, we strive to create an environment where everyone feels they belong, feels welcome and can contribute their best work. We’ve been certified by Best Companies, with an ‘outstanding’ 2-star accreditation rating in their UK 100 best large companies to work for category. Our aim is to create a collegiate, positive and inclusive culture in the board room and across our business, and new board members will be welcomed into a warm-hearted, talented, and dedicated team.

These board roles are remunerated at £13,000 a year (£16,000 for Committee Chairs).

If you are passionate about making a difference and have the expertise we are looking for, we invite you to apply, and help shape the future of VIVID and our vital work.
