Welcome to Berwickshire Housing

Under Helen Forsyth’s leadership, we have been successful in establishing ourselves as a caring, community-based housing association working effectively across Berwickshire supporting our tenants and their communities. As we look for a Chief Executive to help shape our future, we wish to build on this platform especially given the current COVID-19 related challenges, which have highlighted just how important our continued presence is across the Scottish Borders. We feel proud and privileged to provide much needed affordable and quality homes but our role does not end there. For example we provide support to tenants and wider communities who are facing financial difficulties, and we also run a wind farm with Community Energy Scotland.As well as supporting people with the immediate challenges of the pandemic, we are also starting to gear up for the longer-term support which is going to be needed. Our communities have spirit, they are resilient and tenacious but that is being tested as job losses increase, and as it takes longer for local industry

and our economy to bounce back. So BHA will continue to maintain its presence across those neighbourhoods and our new Chief Executive will play a crucial role in helping us to re-evaluate our purpose and impact, and how best to adapt to the new normal as it emerges. We want to take on that challenge of reimagining a new future with our next Chief Executive. This is likely to include continued investment in ICT to improve customer experience and also to enable our staff to work flexibly and smartly, so that we can target resources to where they are needed most, particularly with support to people who are more vulnerable. It will also mean building upon the effective platforms we have already created for partnership working with other stakeholders that are also invested in the life chances and wellbeing of the people that live in our current and future homes. So, you will be inheriting a well- performing, confident, innovative and enterprising organisation, with fantastic people who are up for being stretched further to help realise our ambition. You will need

to offer a leadership track record that shows high rates of return in motivating and inspiring people to get the best out of them. You will be working with a Board and a relatively newly formed Leadership Team who are eager to jointly build on their strengths in collective leadership, as they work together to deliver to high standards for business performance and customer experience. We will value your curiosity to develop further, your passion to make a difference and your commitment to innovate. I hope I have been able to convey that this is an exciting leadership opportunity, in turbulent times, in a unique setting. Do ask others what they think of us, I am confident that you will see and hear good things. I hope we get a chance to meet in this process, so we can further discuss what more we can do together. It promises to be rewarding. Best wishesJim McDevitt Chair

2020 is a momentous year for BHA. It is our 25th anniversary. As ever with anniversaries there is an opportunity to reflect back, but this year we are very much focused on looking forward to the next chapter as we recruit our next Chief Executive.

About Berwickshire HousingOur visionCreating thriving rural communitiesAt BHA we build and manage homes to rent, at affordable levels, to suit a range of lifestyles, personal needs and family sizes. We do so in small, rural communities throughout Berwickshire and are ever keen to expand the number and choice of homes available. We are passionate about our role in providing individuals, couples and families with a home in which they can live their life to the full in a safe, comfortable and attractive setting. We are a registered social landlord (regulated by the Scottish Housing Regulator) and a not-for-profit charity, so all our income goes towards providing services for the community, the upkeep of our tenants’ homes and building new homes.With over 1,800 homes spread across Berwickshire’s rural towns and villages, and a small number in Berwick-upon-Tweed, we provide a variety of sizes of homes – from single’s flats and family homes to bungalows adapted for disabled people and independent living accommodation for older people. We invest in our homes to keep them in good condition and when we can, we build new homes in Berwickshire communities, creating more choices and more locations.

We have a proven track record of innovation in the way we support our tenants and the communities they live in. Our befriending and financial inclusion projects are now an established part of mainstreamed provision, alongside small-scale funding and other schemes to improve our local communities and neighbourhoods. Funding allocated independently by Tenant Volunteers has supported a range of community groups, alongside delivery of community benefits by our contractors. Our Next Steps programme for young people who are likely to be our future tenants is in its tenth year of delivery.We also have a wholly-owned subsidiary known as BHA Enterprise, a private limited company that looks after our mid-market rented homes in Duns and has created a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), Berwickshire Community Renewables, to run The Fisherman Three Wind Farm. BHA Enterprise works closely with their partner, Community Energy Scotland, and generates much needed funding now, and will do into the future, which supports us to achieve our ambitions in providing more homes and improving services for our customers.Our values• Proud to put customers first:

We will work proactively with tenants experiencing problems with their homes,

their neighbours or facing personal challenges. Everything we do is focused on helping tenants to thrive and live successfully in the community.

• Open honest and caring: We will encourage both staff and tenants to be open about the issues they face. We will be honest about what we can and cannot do to help while being caring and empathetic and encouraging tenants to build community support.

• Embrace and drive change: We will be aware of the external environment and be prepared to face new challenges. We will understand and implement new regulations effectively. We will support our tenants to cope with changes they are obliged to face. We will also initiate change through our focus on innovation in order to solve genuine problems that our tenants and communities face and to make our organisation more sustainable and effective.

• Go that extra mile: Tenants are at the heart of what we do. We take time to solve problems and work as a team to help and support our tenants who may be isolated or vulnerable.

• Adaptable, adventurous and creative: We respect and understand the diversity of our tenants and communities and seek new imaginative and creative approaches to meeting the challenges faced.

We explore problems together through collaboration in order to seek new, innovative solutions.

• Enjoy our work and get more done: We support and motivate all staff to ensure a healthy, friendly and stressfree atmosphere where there is trust, openness and leadership. We recognise and reward high achievement and excellent performance.

Strategic planIn order to achieve our vision, and working with the values we have developed together over the past few years, we have recognised that we need to develop our plan from four perspectives. While our objectives are all interdependent and all contribute to meeting our vision, we are clear that a key priority is to address the need to improve our housing stock in Berwickshire through major planned work and some increased provision of affordable housing.

Our four strategic objectives are to:• Be financially strong enough

to deliver our business to a high standard;

• Be customer focused;• Be efficient and effective

(deliver value for money); and• Have a staff team and Board of

Trustees that are developing and growing.
