McCarthy & Stone Shared Ownership delivers high quality shared ownership homes for older people in a commercially viable, for-profit environment. Since our establishment in 2020 within the McCarthy & Stone Group, McCarthy & Stone Shared Ownership has continued to grow in scale and ambition, and we now expect to surpass 1,000 homes in 2026. Our growth trajectory has created a clear need for dedicated senior leadership around governance and regulatory compliance and as such we are excited to be recruiting to the new role of Director of Governance.

This new role will work closely with the Board and executive team to review, strengthen, and embed effective governance arrangements, ensuring we meet our statutory and regulatory obligations while supporting the commercial growth of the business. Delivery of shared ownership homes through our registered provider is an integral part of McCarthy & Stone Group’s strategy and we are committed to growing the business with strong governance, regulatory compliance, and commercial discipline at its heart.

We are looking for a senior governance professional from the social housing sector with a deep understanding of the regulatory standards and the confidence and honed people skills to influence at Board level. You will need the judgement and credibility to shape governance conversations and have an impact, driving improvements in a dynamic, growing organisation.

This is a hands‑on opportunity to play a pivotal role in a growing and dynamic registered provider with considerable ambition and the backing of a national, market‑leading organisation providing the resources to deliver on that ambition. If you are motivated by strong governance, commercial delivery, and social impact, we would welcome your application.
