About Hastoe
Hastoe was established over 60 years ago and now manages more than 7,500 rented, shared ownership and leasehold homes, mainly located across the south of England from Devon to Norfolk. Since 1987 we have focused on being a leading rural housing specialist, helping to sustain rural areas by working in partnership with communities to deliver high-quality, affordable housing developments for local people. However, we still have properties in urban areas that remain important to us.
Our Business Strategy is focused on ensuring our homes are safe, that we deliver on our customer needs, and that we are sustainable as an organisation.
The role
As a Board Member you will be responsible for:
- Helping to set our strategic direction.
- Overseeing our financial and operational performance.
- Supporting effective governance and risk management.
- Ensuring regulatory compliance and customer focus.
- Acting as an ambassador and representing Hastoe.
The role is expected to require a time commitment of around 15 days a year, including an overnight stay to attend an away day. Our meetings are held during the day and generally in London. There may be occasional travel required to other locations, e.g for a scheme opening.
