Vacancy Description

The Department for Communities and Local Government is seeking to appoint 2 new members to the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA) Regulation Committee. The Department recently announced that we will be taking legislative steps to separate social housing regulation from the HCA. The current HCA Regulation Committee has statutory responsibility for the regulation of social housing in England and expects to transition to the board of the independent English Social Housing Regulator in 2018. The statutory objectives and powers of the regulator will remain the same but it will be a standalone organisation.

Person Specification

Essential Criteria:

An ability to operate strategically at a national level within a complex environment; A proven ability to identify and tackle financial and other risks, acting independently as appropriate; Experience of working with diverse groups

We are seeking one Regulation Committee member to also chair the separate Audit and Risk Committee, once the Board of the new entity is formed. For this role, we are seeking an individual with the essential criteria above and the ability to chair an audit and risk committee.

Desirable Criteria

Knowledge of the social housing sector and the potential impacts of economic and policy changes; Knowledge of statutory regulation; The ability to advise and challenge the executive on re-structuring.
