Tajul Islam has been appointed as the new Director of Finance and IT at Jewish housing association jLiving,
He will take over from Frances Horoz, who will be retiring in a few weeks after 30 years’ loyal service.
Islam is the former Head of Finance Industrial Dwellings Society, a Jewish housing association started in 1885 by Jewish philanthropists.
jLiving said he will be instrumental in assisting with the implementation of the organisation’s new Housing Management IT system.
Islam said: “I feel excited about the new role as it will be challenging and be a clean start with new systems being introduced. It will be great to be part of a digitalisation from the start, to move with the times and bring the organisation more robust and technological advances, especially during Covid 19 and these hard times we have been through.
“We as an organisation need to prepare and be prepared for any eventualities, putting our tenants and their wellbeing at the forefront of our agenda. We need to ensure that risks are being managed accordingly.
Jane Goodman, CEO at jLiving, added: “We are delighted to welcome Tajul on board as our new Director of Finance and IT. He joins jLiving with a wealth of financial and IT knowledge and expertise.
“He is more than familiar and comfortable with the social housing sector and organisations such as jLiving. Taj has ‘big shoes’ to fill but I know that jLiving staff will welcome and support him as he settles into his new role.”
