Non-Executive Board Members

Coin Street is a social enterprise located on London's iconic Southbank. Established in 1984, our 13-acre site is at the heart of a thriving neighbourhood with co-operative homes, parks and gardens, shops and design studios, galleries, restaurants, a family and children's centre, sports pitches, and a range of community programmes and activities.

Coin Street is overseen by three independent organisations working together: Coin Street Community Builders (CSCB), Coin Street Secondary Housing Co-operative (CSS) and Coin Street Centre Trust (CSCT). These organisations are governed by voluntary boards, made up of members from the local community and experts from a range of sectors. All three organisations are served by a single staff team, employed by CSCB. Coin Street's vision is one where diverse groups of people come together to live, work and play.

This is an exciting time to join Coin Street as a Non-Executive Board Member. Following a recent skills audit and upcoming board rotation, CSCB is now recruiting at least five new board members. Our boards play the role of critical friend - advising on governance, strategy and connectivity, while ensuring we stay true to our values, mission and community purpose.

We are looking to appoint:

Board Members who live locally, within our Area of Benefit who will bring lived experience of the neighbourhood and a commitment to its future. No formal board or professional experience is necessary, but we would particularly welcome local applicants with knowledge of finance, HR or housing and property.

Board Members who do not need to live locally but will bring specific professional expertise in one of the following areas:

• Finance - Qualified accountant with experience of financial strategy and oversight
• HR - Strategic leadership, ideally with experience chairing or contributing to HR and remuneration committees
• Housing - Specialist knowledge of social housing, property management, or asset development

Coin Street is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion and wants its boards to reflect the communities we serve. We particularly encourage applications from Black, Asian and other racially minoritised people, women, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are currently underrepresented on our boards. We also welcome applicants with experience of community development and neighbourhood initiatives.
