London CLT Treasurer
Closing date: Monday 7th April
Preliminary Interviews: w/c 14th April
Final Panel Interviews: w/c 21st April
Do you share our passion and commitment to empowering local communities to create their own permanently affordable homes?
Are you supportive of our drive to ensure that our homes are priced according to local earnings, ensuring that people are no longer priced out of the neighbourhood they grew up in?
Are you a Qualified Accountant with the necessary expertise in financial management and accountancy to serve as our next Treasurer?
If the answer to these questions is YES, we would love to hear from you.
Decent, secure, and affordable homes are getting harder to come by, and there is widespread recognition and acceptance now that London needs more affordable homes, with The Government, The Mayor of London and the London boroughs rightly prioritising affordable housing.
What remains is a gulf between those who are attempting to deliver affordable housing and the communities that need these homes. This is the gap that London CLT successfully bridges, working with local people to create genuinely and permanently affordable homes and community spaces, putting Londoners back in charge of how our neighbourhoods positively evolve.
Proud to be at the vanguard of the Community Land Trust (CLT) movement. We were the first CLT in the capital to sell homes, starting with our flagship project at St Clements in Tower Hamlets with 23 homes, and then continuing with our first direct development at Citizens House in Lewisham with 11 homes. We also currently have projects across 6 London boroughs, with 34 homes built to date and a pipeline of 100+ new homes in development.
London CLT Treasurer (unremunerated)
Our expectations for our new Treasurer are also equally high. As our new Treasurer you will be joining London CLT at a particularly exciting time as we enter a period of significant growth, not only advising on the financial implications of London CLT’s strategic plan, but also working to ensure that our financial systems and processes keep pace, so that we can continue to manage our finances confidently and proactively.
A Qualified accountant with demonstrable commercial awareness and a passion for community action, affordable housing, and sustainability, together with an understanding of Community Led Housing you will be expected to be a good communicator, able to explain financial matters to non-experts, and help to shape the future of London CLT.
If this appeals to you and you would welcome the opportunity to play your part in addressing what is arguably the biggest social issue impacting London and to have an informal and confidential discussion, please contact our advising consultant Philip Nelson on 020 3590 9978 or via email at philip.nelson@thehiringdept.com.
London CLT actively embraces diversity, promotes equality of opportunity and is determined to reflect the rich and diverse city that we represent, encouraging applications from all sections of society and communities.
