Housing Board - Independent Member (voluntary position) - 3 posts
We are seeking housing professionals to become members of a new Housing Board for Cannock Chase Council. The Housing Board is being established to oversee Cannock Chase Council’s responsibilities as a Registered Provider of social housing (RP) and to ensure that it meets the Regulator of Social Housing’s (RSH’s) consumer standards. This includes meeting relevant laws, regulations and other commitments.
The Housing Board is made up of members with different skills knowledge and experience who all provide assurance to the Council on the performance of landlord services to tenants and leaseholders and the asset management and maintenance of existing homes. In addition, the Board oversees the Resident Involvement Strategy to ensure that the needs and experience of tenants and leaseholders influence its recommendations.
Housing Board members are drawn from three groups: elected members, tenants and leaseholders, and independent members. All members are equal, sharing the same responsibilities and ability to make recommendations and give assurance. The Housing Board will make recommendations to the Cabinet for the Cabinet to consider and approve or ratify (or, if required recommend to the full Council for approval).
