Board Members, Thrive Homes

Thrive owns and manage around 5,000 homes in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire.

We provides homes for rent ranging from social/affordable through to full market, through its subsidiary Thrive Living.

Thrive also has a strong shared-ownership sales programme and provides management services for other landlords. Rated G1 V1 by the Regulator for Social Housing, Thrive is a stable business with a turnover of around £26m a year and growing with, for example, 250 plots in the pipeline.

With a workforce of 99 FTE staff, including an in-house repairs and maintenance team, Thrive values its staff and invests in supporting personal development. We have been one of the top 25 Housing Associations within the Times Best Companies Survey for the last three years and we achieved IIP Gold in 2019.

Several of our current Board Members will be time-expired in the coming year and as part of our succession plan, we will be recruiting four new board members. We are looking for experienced non-executives with senior leadership experience gained in organisations of similar complexity, ambition and growth to Thrive. The specific areas of expertise required include the following:

• Housing development
• Business development/growth
• Treasury management/risk management
• Property related assets

In addition to the technical experience listed above, demonstrable alignment with our Equality and Diversity vision and values is also essential. Thrive’s approach to diversity supports everything else we are committed to do.

We expect our Board Members to demonstrate a personal commitment to valuing, recognising and responding to diversity. This is as true in the Boardroom as it is anywhere at Thrive. We are, therefore, keen to increase the diversity of our Board so that we can better understand and connect with our customers and continue to champion diversity.
