Funding Affordable Homes Housing Association (FAHHA) is a for-profit Registered Provider of social housing, operating within the corporate group of a social impact investment company. Through Funding Affordable Homes (FAH), the organisation invests in UK affordable housing to deliver both strong financial performance and measurable social impact for communities and investors.

FAH has supported the development of almost 900 affordable homes across the UK, more than two thirds of which are owned by FAHHA and managed in partnership with local housing associations. Its core objective is to create lasting social benefit for individuals, families and communities through providing high-quality, well-managed homes. FAH’s investment adviser is Edmond de Rothschild Real Estate Investment Management.

FAHHA is now seeking to appoint a part-time (3 day a week) Head of Governance to play a pivotal role in ensuring the organisation meets its constitutional, statutory, regulatory and best-practice governance obligations. Working closely with the Managing Director, Board and Committees, the Head of Governance will act as a trusted adviser to executive and non-executive leadership, leading Board and Committee processes, strengthening risk and assurance oversight, and supporting regulatory engagement.

This is a critical role in supporting effective decision-making, maintaining strong relationships with regulators, and ensuring ongoing compliance with the expectations of the Regulator of Social Housing, Homes England, and relevant codes of governance.

You will bring significant experience in governance, company secretariat, compliance or regulatory roles within a regulated environment, ideally supported by a relevant professional qualification (e.g. CGI/ICSA, law or compliance) or equivalent experience.
