Seeking someone with property development expertise to join our Board as a Trustee.  

What will you be doing?

The Plumstead Almshouses Charity has successfully provided homes since 1896.  We operate twenty apartments on the edge of Plumstead Common where our residents express satisfaction with the services provided.

We now need to use our strong finances to expand.  We are seeking someone with property development expertise to join our Board as a Trustee.  

What are we looking for?

As well as leadership in residential property development, it would be a bonus – although not essential – if candidates were to have accomplishments in any of the following fields:

  1. Philanthropy – attracting substantial donations to build more homes
  2. Charity governance
  3. Construction

What difference will you make?

You would be joining a small and dedicated team of trustees to make a real difference to the housing crisis at a local level.

Before you apply

Suitable candidates will be invited to visit the almshouses and to attend a Board meeting as an observer before a final decision on appointment is made. Thank you very much for your time and interest in the Plumstead Almshouses!
