We have grown from some 400 members and £0.5million in assets in 2006 to nearly 20,000 members with a balance sheet of £24 million at the end of our last financial year.

Last year our loan book increased by 17%.

We aim to continue our track record of growth while maintaining a sustainable, professional and ethical business which provides service excellence.

Our new Chief Executive will lead our organisation and work closely with the board to oversee, shape and deliver the long-term strategic vision of the credit union, ensuring business growth and service excellence.

The position will forge effective partnerships with stakeholders outside the organisation to promote the organisation’s mission, and ensuring we remain a trusted and valued financial provider.

The role will require a commitment to creating a positive and pleasant working atmosphere for staff and volunteers promoting their commitment to delivering the credit union objectives and supporting their development.

Most of all we need our new CEO to be a people person with a friendly and empathetic manner, able develop positive relationships and motivate individuals from diverse backgrounds. Along with this we require strong strategic thinking with operational management and leadership capabilities.
