We are looking for tenants to join the NPH resident committee of the Board. Being a committee member doesn’t take as much time as you think – and you’ll get paid for your time.
We’re looking for proactive tenants and leaseholders like you to sign up and be a part of a tenant-led Committee of the Board called the ‘Service Quality Committee’.
You will have an established set of skills and expertise that you bring from other parts of your life. Those skills can come from your work-life but also those needed to be an active member of your community, a charity volunteer or a Trustee for a non-profit. Perhaps you are skilled in analysing information or you enjoy researching – you could be the person we want.
What’s involved?
Being a committee member takes less time than you might think.
You will:
- Attend a small number of meetings each year
- Share your thoughts and ideas
- Help improve services for residents
- Learn more about how NPH works
- Be supported by a mentor and training
Give a little time, make a big difference – apply by 17th August 2026.
