Trustees
Job description
Company name: Zetetick Housing
Location: South East England
Salary: Voluntary
Closing date: 9am on 7 September 2026
About the Organisation
At Zetetick, our ambition is simple; to enable people with learning disabilities, autism and additional complex needs to have greater choice, independence and a home they can truly call their own.
Our work is about much more than providing housing. It is about helping people to feel safe and settled, build confidence, enjoy greater independence and feel connected to the communities around them.
Today, we provide homes for around 200 tenants across Sussex, Kent and South London. We have grown significantly in recent years, developing our homes and services, building strong partnerships and creating new opportunities for the people and families we support. And we have ambitions for the future.
The Role
As we continue to develop, we are looking to appoint two new Trustees to join our Board and help shape Zetetick’s next chapter.
Working alongside skilled fellow Trustees and our Executive Team, you will bring your experience and perspective to help guide our strategy, provide constructive challenge and oversight and ensure that Zetetick remains ambitious, sustainable and focused on the people we support.
The experience we are looking for
We are particularly interested in candidates who can bring skills in one or more of the following areas:
- Finance and audit – including governance, assurance and/or fundraising. For this particular role we are seeking a qualified accountant.
- Social Housing – with experience or understanding of areas such as housing management, supported housing, regulation or resident services.
- Digital & Transformation – including the strategic use of technology, data, digital services or organisational transformation.
Alongside your professional expertise, we are looking for people who can think strategically, ask thoughtful questions, listen to different perspectives and contribute constructively to collective decision-making.
We welcome people considering their first Board role who bring relevant experience, curiosity and a genuine interest in learning about and contributing to Zetetick’s future.
Why Join Us
Being a Trustee is a rewarding opportunity to use your experience to make a tangible contribution to Zetetick’s future and to the lives of the people and families we support.
The commitment
The Board meets four times a year, currently on Thursday evenings, with a mix of virtual and in-person meetings. Trustees also attend an annual Away Day and join at least one of our committees, which typically meet up to four times a year.
