The Pioneer Group is a housing association. We provide great, safe homes and are community led and focussed on sustaining regeneration on Castle Vale and improving the lives of our tenants, residents and service users across all our communities Our VISION ‘Making Lives and Communities Better’ We have the privilege of being an anchor organisation in our communities. By providing a safe place to call home, we provide the strongest foundations from which many people can thrive. We are passionate about our social purpose, and this resonates throughout our organisation. The Pioneer Group mainly operate in Castle Vale, where 95% of our homes are together with communities in Stockland Green and Stetchford. What would the role involve? You will be provided with an exciting and structured 2–year training programme in conjunction with the Housing Diversity Network. This will include virtual training sessions, networking events, mentoring as well as getting to know our organisation and the services we provide. Over time we would ask you to get involved in discussions: at meetings, in small groups, and with staff or customers. You will need to be comfortable reading reports and confident in expressing your views. We ask that you be able to commit around two days a month and be flexible as this could include both daytime and evenings. At the end of the programme, we hope you will be ready to take on a full Board member role. We’re interested in hearing from a diverse range of potential Board Members.
