Newlon is a long-established housing organisation with a clear and simple mission: to provide high-quality, affordable homes for people in London. We are, at our heart, a true community organisation and we seek to provide a range of range of housing options to meet local demand, from general needs to supported and specialised accommodation, ensuring that local people can access safe, secure, and genuinely affordable homes.

Every day, our work is shaped by the diverse needs of the communities we serve. Our connection to the people and neighbourhoods we serve is authentic, long-standing and central to our success and we understand local need because we are rooted in the places where we work. We know that great outcomes are achieved not through structures alone but through genuine relationships, shared purpose and collective action. We take pride in being more than the sum of our parts—a place where residents, colleagues, partners and Board members come together to deliver impact far greater than any single role or service.

We are excited to be seeking a new Chair as our current Chair reaches the end of their term. We have ambitious plans to strengthen our services, deepen our community impact, and continue improving the quality of the homes we provide. So our next Chair must be ready to bring their experience and expertise to bear and engage fully from day one. You will bring clarity, confidence and curiosity, along with an understanding of the areas in which we work. Your senior experience in the social housing sector, chairing skills and deep understanding of how good boards operate will allow you to support and challenge the executive team and get the best from a strong and cohesive Board, ensuring we remain accountable to the people who rely on us.

Newlon has a track record stretching back over 55 years and our growth and continued ambition has not taken us away from our core purpose. If that resonates with you, and you share our values and passion for what we do, then please contact us to find out more about this special opportunity.
