We are looking for two new Board Members
About Us
A force for good in the East Midlands for over 50 years, NCHA’s mission is to provide homes and support by people who care. We house more than 20,000 people and manage over 10,000 homes in Nottinghamshire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Rutland.
We employ over 1,200 people, who receive training opportunities, apprenticeships and a huge range of colleague benefits.
We’re building new homes all the time and work with 19 local authorities to build affordable homes that meet the needs of people in their area. This includes homes for sale, rent, shared ownership and everything in between. We’ve got an annual turnover of £100 million, and we have invested more than £800 million in properties.
But we don’t just do houses - we also provide a range of care and support services all over our region.

About Our Board And The Roles
NCHA strives to be an inclusive workplace and we particularly welcome applicants from ethnic minority communities, LGBTQ+ communities, women and people with disabilities to ensure we fully represent our communities.
As we also value diversity in experience and sector, we review the make-up of our Board annually to ensure we’ve got the right representation to enable us to continue to make the right decisions for our customers, colleagues and the organisation as a whole.
And this is where you come in. We’re recruiting for:
Two Non-Executive Board Members
We are looking for experienced Board professionals. One of the new Board members will have a specialism in technology and cyber security, and the other should have experience of working within the customer experience area. If you have a background in either of these areas, along with non-executive director experience, we would welcome your application. Housing or care and support sector experience is not essential.
As well as in-person attendance at our Board meetings and strategic awayday, you will be required to be a member of one of NCHA’s separate committees. In total, your obligation will be around 12 meetings a year, plus additional time for reviewing documents.
If you feel you need more experience before you can fit this criteria and you are one of our customers, you may be interested in our Associate Board Member vacancies – please see our vacancies page for more details.
All applicants should be enthusiastic team players with links to the East Midlands who share our CLEAR values, have a passion for housing and social care, and are looking for a Non-Executive Board Member role with a socially conscious Housing Association.
You will work as part of a team and be collectively responsible for ensuring the success of NCHA, and its compliance with all legal and regulatory obligations.
You will contribute to setting our strategic aims and take key strategic decisions about future development; whilst providing entrepreneurial leadership and oversight across the NCHA Group; including playing a part in managing the Chief Executive and executive management team.
Finally, you will accept the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of Board Membership including meeting the fit and proper persons test under the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014.

About You

You will be a values-driven person with an understanding of the needs of diverse communities, including people with disabilities and those who are socially disadvantaged.
You will demonstrate sound independent judgement and have the ability to work effectively in a team.
You will have the flexibility to attend and participate in up to 12 daytime or evening meetings per year, and development activities such as induction, training and performance review sessions, or events, as reasonably required.
You will have either customer service experience or a technology and cyber specialism.
What’s in it for you?
