Description
At Watford Community Housing we own and manage more than 7,500 homes and associated assets across South West Hertfordshire and North London, with a focus on providing much needed homes for lower income households. We are very clear about our purpose and, as a Community Gateway organisation, we're committed to putting our tenants at the heart of everything we do. As well as working closely with residents to make sure we're delivering excellent services, we encourage our tenants to become members so they can vote and make decisions which help to shape what we do.
Salary: £13,000 *subject to review
Closing date: 19th October 2025
Informal Stakeholder Meetings: 5th November 2025
Final Panel: 6th November 2025
We've come a long way since our formation in 2007 and we are proud of what we have achieved to date, including our V1, G1, C1 judgment in our recent inspection, but we want to deliver even more. Working closely with our local authority and developer partners we want to deliver our ambitious development aspirations.
It is an exciting time to be joining us as we are in discussions with Thrive Homes about a merger and the successful candidate would also become the Chair Designate for the new organisation at a pivotal decision period.
It is essential the candidate understands the complex, regulated environment of social housing and has experience of mergers and acquisitions, alongside a strong focus on good governance. We would expect all candidates to have, as a minimum, experience of Chairing at Committee level in a similar sized organisation.
As we are a Community Gateway organisation, customer focus and engagement must be a genuine passion. You'll join an energetic and ambitious Group, working to ensure that we successfully navigate change and challenging operating environments to achieve our ambitious goals.
