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.

Board member roles: Senior expertise in at least one of the following: housing management (including resident engagement), repairs, building safety, asset management, housing needs and homelessness.

We are really excited to welcome new independent colleagues to the HAB, and look forward to the impact you will have, playing a crucial role in the good governance of housing in Croydon as we continue to improve our performance in delivering better housing outcomes.
