We’re looking for a new resident member to join the committee.
Our Resident Experience Committee (REC) is a committee of the Board. Its purpose is to make sure residents’ voices are heard when the Board or its committees consider decisions that may affect residents and the wider community.
The committee is made up of residents, independent members and Board members. Together, they hold us to account for our performance and make sure we are doing what we say we will when it comes to delivering our services.
This opportunity is available to our residents only.
Being a member of REC
- The committee meets up to six times a year, usually at our office in Bury St Edmunds
- Alongside this, the committee take part in two full training days
- There is also a range of online training opportunities to help build your knowledge of Havebury and the wider housing sector
- Committee meeting papers are sent out two weeks before the meeting to ensure members have the time to read them in advance of the meeting
- REC members will receive a fee of £3,623 a year (paid monthly). You can claim expenses such as transport and childcare. You’ll also be provided with a laptop and have an induction and a buddy to support you
Skills and experience
We’re looking for residents who:
- Have a natural curiosity and are enthusiastic and passionate about housing and our communities
- Are comfortable using technology, as some meetings are held via Microsoft Teams and communication is primarily by email
- Are able to maintain confidentiality
- Can use their lived experience of being a resident to help shape and improve the services we provide
