Are you looking for a new challenge and an opportunity to shape the next phase of Ark’s ambitious strategy?
Ark’s mission to create the best possible customer outcomes through our highly skilled people, the provision of high quality affordable homes and excellent care will be achieved through creating inclusive communities where quality of housing and care enable people to thrive and live a good life.
Established in 1977 Ark provides 450 tenancies, and supports over 400 people through our dedicated and highly skilled workforce of 700+ staff. We operate in 12 Local Authority areas in the North and East of Scotland, and we also have services in The Western Isles.
The Ark Group is made up of three companies:
Ark is a registered charity and registered social landlord (RSL) that provides housing and care and is the parent company within the group structure. is a private company limited by guarantee and a wholly owned subsidiary of Ark. (ACIL) is a private limited share company and wholly owned subsidiary of Ark.We currently have vacancies for Non Executive Board members on both the main board as well as the subsidiary board, at a very exciting time for Ark. We are entering year 2 of our Corporate Strategy and have set an ambitious set of aims to develop and grow the business with a robust set of performance targets. As a new Board Member you will play a key part in developing and enabling the delivery of the business plan for the next 5-10 years and improving the governance framework to effectively monitor performance. This will be clearly focussed upon delivery of high quality Housing and Care & Support services.
Ark Group Board
We are seeking 2-3 recruits to fill non-exec positions on Ark’s parent Board: Ark Housing Association.
This Board meets 6-7 times per year in a hybrid approach and will require some attendance face to face. We welcome applications from people with experience in Care & Support or Housing/Asset and understanding of governance in an RSL would be an advantage, however not essential.
Ark Subsidiary Board
We are seeking to strengthen our governance by appointing non executive directors to our Subsidiary Board and separate from the Ark Group Board to ensure independence. This Board will be made up of 5 or 6 individuals and chaired by an existing board member from Ark Group. Your role will be to serve both subsidiary companies with meetings being held consecutively, 4 times per year. This board meets on a remote basis and will be the perfect opportunity for people seeking their first Board role, with the opportunity for exposure to two very different businesses; one a commercial/private company and one a registered Charity. We will provide you with a full induction and an opportunity to be mentored by an experienced Board member and we do not expect you to have any previous board experience. Overall, we are looking for dynamic, forward-thinking and enthusiastic people from a variety of backgrounds to contribute to Ark’s emerging future.
Working towards equal opportunities and a diverse workforce.
