What we’re looking for

Do you have the skills required to join our Board?

We are looking to appoint one new Board member.  

The review of the overall Board skills shows a need to recruit a Board member with a finance skillset, and we are particularly interested in treasury, corporate finance and capital markets experience. 

      The Board, as a whole, is responsible for supporting the Chair and the rest of the Board in delivering its core responsibilities, which include:

      • Setting the strategic direction and objectives in accordance with PCH’s values and vision.
      • Ensuring PCH has plans and financial resources consistent with its strategic objectives.
      • Ensuring the key risks are identified, monitored and managed.
      • Overseeing the appropriate financial and management controls, including approving the budget and accounts.
      • Monitoring performance in relation to agreed plans, objectives, budgets, etc.
      • Ensuring PCH maintains effective relationships with residents and other customers, and key stakeholders, including staff and the Regulator of Social Housing.
      • Ensuring PCH’s affairs are conducted solvently, lawfully and in accordance with accepted standards of best practice and propriety, taking key decisions and ensuring the effective working of the Board.

      We also value people who are team players with the ability to question and offer constructive challenge whilst working collaboratively to support the collective Board decision process. We want to hear from you if you are good at developing relationships, offering ideas, spotting opportunities and understanding implications and risk.

      You do not need to have experience of working with or being part of a Board – we will provide full training and support to develop your skills.

      We have a strong commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion by understanding the diverse views and needs of our communities. We are keen to encourage applications from underrepresented groups to our Board, this includes young people, people from all backgrounds and communities, or people with a disability.

      If you have an absolute commitment to our core values, as well as a passion for social housing and the real difference it can make to people’s lives, then this role is for you.
