The Housing Assurance Board (HAB) is a newly established Board within Croydon Council.  It has been created to provide effective oversight of the Council’s compliance with the Consumer standards and continue the improvement in services to the residents of our nearly 16,000 council homes spread across London’s largest borough.

The HAB will provide effective governance and oversight in the new regulatory environment for social housing and the challenges the Council is managing in Housing Needs and Homelessness due to increased demand and cost pressures. The Board will have a strong customer focus, providing assurance that decisions made in the directorate are resident focused, and that the voice of tenants and leaseholders informs strategic decision making across the service.

We are seeking experienced housing professionals who bring experience from either an RP or local authority background, and a strong understanding of current housing regulation.

Chair role: Chairing experience in a housing setting gained either as board or committee Chair, and the leadership skills and ability to bring together a new Board, ensuring that it delivers effectively on its aims within a multi-stakeholder local government context.
