Amanda Miller has taken up the post of director of housing and care services at Eildon Housing Association.

Formerly director of housing services at Bield Housing and Care, where she worked for 19 years, Amanda joins after a rigorous selection process triggered by the departure of the previous post holder Eileen Shand.

She was the outstanding applicant in a highly competitive selection process and I am confident that she will make a significant contribution to our ambitious plans for the future.

“We should also publically record our thanks to Eileen Shand for 17 years of service and dedication, and we wish her well for the future.”

Amanda added: “I am pleased to have taken up my role at Eildon, who have a great reputation for the delivery of housing and care services across the Borders. I am especially looking forward to working with colleagues, customers and our partners across a range of interesting initiatives at what is an exciting time for Eildon.”
