What is the Board?
Our Board is responsible for making key decisions about how Riverside Scotland runs.

It brings together people with different skills and experiences, including tenants, to make sure:

  • customers are at the heart of everything we do
  • money is spent wisely
  • services continue to improve

Decisions include things like:

  • investing in new and existing homes
  • improving customer services, including digital tools
  • setting priorities for the organisation
What you'll do

As a Board member, you will:

  • attend meetings every two months (usually evenings, at our Irvine office)
  • review performance and plans
  • help make informed decisions about our services
  • ensure we meet regulatory standards
  • challenge and support the organisation to improve

All Board member roles are voluntary. We will cover reasonable expenses so you can take part.

Why join?

By joining, you can:

  • influence decisions that affect your home and community
  • represent the views of other tenants
  • gain new skills and experience
  • work with others to make a real difference

You’ll be part of a supportive team and receive guidance and training to help you succeed.

What skills and qualities do you need?

We’re looking for someone who is:

  • honest and reliable
  • passionate about improving services
  • able to listen and understand different views
  • confident sharing opinions and asking questions
  • willing to learn and work as part of a team

You don’t need to be an expert — we’re interested in your perspective as a tenant.

  • access to information to help you make decisions
