Non-Executive recruitment
Join our team
Welcome
I am delighted that you are considering a Non-Executive role on the Board of Fair for You CIC. I hope you will take time to look at the information on this microsite about us and our work, as well as our main website.
Financial exclusion is pernicious. It means those least able to afford it are charged more for financial services, especially credit. Our financial system is prejudiced against those who have – often through no fault of their own – made suboptimal financial decisions in the past, have thin credit files or are new to the country and have yet to develop a financial backstory.
For ten years Fair for You has demonstrated that having a low income or a poor credit score does not straightforwardly equate to being a high credit risk. Since 2015 we have provided nearly 400,000 loans (totalling over £85m) to 100,000 customers. In social value terms, that’s £bns of impact. Not for nothing is our vision: “to change lives through better lending.”
Two of our existing Non-Executives will come to the end of their tenures in early and mid 2025. They have helped us move as an organisation from ‘start-up’ to ‘scale-up’, and their guidance and support (and challenge!) has been invaluable to the Executive Team. Together with Gatenby Sanderson, we now have the unenviable task of finding replacements for them.
If you believe you have the experience, skills and qualities that can contribute to our dynamic Board and help the Executive of Fair for You to grow this extraordinary and unique business, then we look forward to hearing from you. Applications from prospective Non-Executives with a strong background in finance and retail are particularly welcome.
