Based in Duns, BHA serves around 1,800 households in various locations within Berwickshire. BHA people are positive, ready to lead on new ideas and solutions, see the workplace as somewhere to value and stay focused on our exciting vision of creating thriving rural communities.

We now wish to further enhance the strength and diversity of our Board of Trustees and are looking for enthusiastic, community-minded people from all walks of life. While we don’t need previous board-level experience, we do require people who can support our team in delivering our ambitious business plan. In particular, we would like to hear from people who have, or have held, positions in finance, business transformation, marketing or customer service.

Why apply? Although the role of Trustee is unpaid it is highly rewarding. Our Trustees benefit from support, development and a sense of real pride and satisfaction from providing quality homes for people who need them. And while we don’t offer remuneration, we pay reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and training and mentoring will be provided.

Trustees attend up to eight Board meetings a year in our offices in Duns plus an annual off-site planning meeting and various training events and conferences. Trustees are encouraged to work with at least one of the Board’s sub-committees which are: Finance and Audit Committee, and the Operations Committee. In total we anticipate a time commitment of approximately 15 days.
