Chair of Homes and Investment Committee/Independent Group Board Member

Cross Keys Homes; Cambridgeshire and Peterborough; Hybrid; GBP 80,000 - 100,000; Part time

Job description

A commercial business with a social heart, our dynamic approach has made us one of the Eastern region’s leading providers of affordable homes for rent and shared ownership sales.

Cross Keys Homes was inspected by the Regulator of Social Housing earlier this year and has just been awarded C1, V1 and G1, the highest possible rating for a registered housing provider.

Responding to change with agility and innovation, we will continue to grow our business in today’s fast-paced and unpredictable operating environment while focusing on our residents, the people that make our communities great.

With a development programme set to deliver more than 2,000 homes over five years, we are committed to building quality, affordable homes that people want to live in throughout the East of England and Home Counties. We are also committed to providing excellent housing and landlord services to all the residents in our existing homes.

The Chair will lead the Committee responsible for overseeing new home building, investment in the existing stock and meeting regulatory and compliance requirements, reporting to Group Board.

Key Strategic Skills Requirements

We are seeking a new Board member to join our experienced Board and skilled executives. We are looking for an individual who shares our values and can bring:

1. Expertise in property management, health and safety, the development of new affordable housing and land-led development, with strong construction, commercial business and communication skills and a proven ability in risk assessment and management.
2. Understanding of the role and interactions of the supply chain and the economics of the affordable housing market.

Commitment

The minimum requirement will be an average of one day per month to attend meetings, mostly held remotely via MS Teams, with attendance at our Head Office around 3-4 times a year.

There would also be a required commitment to CPD through conferences, training and workshops. You will receive a detailed induction programme to familiarise yourself with the way we work and our operating environment.

Cross Keys Homes believe having a diverse Board is vital to our ongoing success and we particularly welcome applications from underrepresented groups.
