Job Description
Committee Member for Care & Support
Background
The Riverside Group Limited (TRGL) is looking to recruit someone who has the knowledge and experience set out in the person specification. The successful candidates will take up a place on the Committee for an initial three-year term with the possibility of a second three-year term.
About Riverside Governance
The TRGL Board is the senior governance body within Riverside and sets the mission, strategy, corporate and business plans and policy for the Group as well as overseeing performance against these.
The work of the Board is supported by seven committees. The powers of committees are delegated by the Board and set out in the Terms of Reference of the committees.
About Riverside
Riverside is a group of complementary businesses driven by a clear social purpose, with a not-for-profit charitable housing association at its core.
Established over 95 years ago, we remain driven by a deep sense of social purpose, providing a range of homes and wider support services for a diverse community of people across England and Scotland.
The Riverside Group is a sector-leading national housing association group:

Trusted customer services
