Blackwood provides quality housing and services for families throughout Scotland. We currently have around 1500 houses in management to suit a range of varying needs. Our overall aim is to offer independence, choice and control in inclusive communities through quality housing and related services.
Blackwood is driven by its vision to help people to live life to the full through good quality landlord and care services.
As a registered Scottish charity and registered social landlord, we are a leading housing and care provider in Scotland, specialising in services for people with disabilities. Founded in 1972 by Dr Margaret Blackwood, the organisation is entirely focused on creating personalised and individual solutions to help people live fully and independently. We provide warm, safe, comfortable homes and care and support for adults with physical disabilities, long term conditions, sensory impairment and learning disabilities.
We are seeking a dedicated individual to strengthen our Board with additional skills and experience, particularly those with a background in care services, housing and asset management.
Our Board meetings are on a Wednesday evening and are held 6 times a year. Board Members will also be required to attend additional Committee meetings, and two Strategy Days per year.
Board positions are voluntary with reimbursement for reasonable expenses. The role offers opportunity to contribute your skills, experience, and perspective in a meaningful way. Training is provided based on members’ experience and development needs.
