Salix Homes owns and manages around 7900 homes across Salford, Greater Manchester.

Approximately one in ten people in the area live in one of our homes – so we are an integral part of the local community and ideally positioned to make a real difference to people’s lives.

We work hard to understand the things that matter most to our customers and design our services around their needs.

We’re rethinking housing to find new ways to deliver excellent customer services and innovative solutions to housing

Looking forward, we continue to anticipate and adapt to a fast changing agenda, with an emphasis on quality, value for money services, safety of our homes, developing new homes and promoting Salix Homes as a great place to work.

To support these ambitions, we now wish to appoint two new Board Members who are looking to invest their expertise and experience on behalf of others.

As a Board member, you’ll play a part in scrutinising and developing our organisation’s strategic planning, ensuring rigorous professional challenge and accountability supports better outcomes for our customers.

We are keen to hear from you if you have skills, knowledge or experience in the following areas:

Customer Service
EDI
Human Resources
Development (Housing Specific), particularly market sale
Environmental/Green Agenda
In addition, you should bring an inquisitive mind and a collaborative style that will enable you to ask the right questions to get the best from others. It’s important that you can model our organisational values and that you share our absolute commitment to delivering great customer service

Our Board is proud of the range of specialisms and experiences it has as a collective, however, we recognise that in a number of diversity areas we are underrepresented. We are therefore keen to attract a diverse applicant pool. We would particularly encourage representation from Black, Asian and minority ethnic individuals and those from the LGBTQ+ Community, as well as those with disabilities. We encourage all potential candidates to reflect on their strengths and experiences in the broadest sense, including transferable skills where appropriate when considering their suitability for the position. In all cases, we will select the best candidate for the role.

In return for your investment in Salix Homes, you will have the opportunity to make a valuable strategic contribution, working across a wide range of issues, that will help to diversify and enhance your own professional frame of reference.
