Orbit Group are looking for a Director of Governance
About Our Client
Orbit was established in 1967 by two people on a park bench contemplating how to tackle homelessness.

The passion they felt about the inequality in the access, scale and quality of available housing was channelled into positive action, and Orbit was created.

The purpose today is every bit as important as it was when Orbit was founded.

They now manage around 47,000 affordable homes in the Midlands, East and South-East of England, and build around 1,000 new affordable homes every year.

They are proud to be a socially driven, commercially focused organisation with a strong social purpose, reinvesting their surplus to improve the quality of their homes, services, communities and the provision of much more needed affordable housing.
