Board members
IDS is a London housing association with an exciting future. With several Board Members completing their terms, IDS is looking to appoint some new Board Members who will enjoy the opportunity to make personal impact on the services offered by a diverse and dynamic organisation, that has exciting plans for its future.
Founded by Jewish philanthropists in 1885, IDS has a unique heritage. Since then, it has grown to provide much-needed general needs and sheltered housing in some of London’s most fascinating areas.
Today, IDS manages around 1,500 homes and is proud to serve a diverse range of multi-cultural communities across London and the surrounding areas. With a mix of housing stock and tenure options, it is an important London housing provider. It has the ability to make real and positive impact for its communities and is ambitious to grow and support the substantial need for more housing in London, whilst continually improving its properties and services for current customers.
The Board plays an active role in customer engagement and supports and challenges IDS’s staff and the executive team on strategic and operational performance. This ensures IDS is well managed, ambitious for its future and committed to delivering exceptional housing services.
Representing a rich mix of different communities across London, IDS strives to support and represent all staff and customers. With the opportunity to add new Board Members it can add to the diversity of skills and personal experiences on its Board, so welcomes applications from a wide range of backgrounds.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
