At Peaks & Plains Housing Trust, we believe that a safe, secure, and affordable home is the foundation for a better life. With over 5,000 homes across Cheshire and the High Peak, we are proud to be part of the communities we serve, helping our customers to thrive and neighbourhoods to flourish. We have been on a journey of continuous improvement and recently attained a G1/C1/V2 rating from our Regulator which demonstrates our commitment to excellence.

We are excited to be recruiting for four new Board members as some colleagues reach the end of their tenure with us. With a new Chair (Designate) joining us in late 2025, and the recent positive outcome of a regulatory inspection confirming the strength of our governance and the quality of our work with customers, this is a great time to be joining our Board. These Board member roles provide an opportunity to play a real part in shaping the future of an organisation making a genuine difference in the lives of our customers.

For these roles we seek candidates who bring proven skills and expertise in one the following areas:

• Organisational development/ human resources
• Housing management with customer focus/ regulation and governance
• Strategic asset management
• Treasury management/ business finance

We are open to this being your first Board role, however we do want one of the candidates who takes up the first three of the roles listed above to also be the Chair of our Governance Committee (with supplemental remuneration), and for that role, we would expect previous board and chairing experience.

We are a committed Board that values challenge and lively debate and you will be ready to engage with that culture, bringing the breadth and depth of your experience to the conversation, contributing to strategic decisions, and working creatively with others to meet our ambitions.

We warmly welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and lived experiences. Diversity strengthens our Board, and we are especially keen to hear from those who can bring fresh perspectives to help us reflect and serve the communities we work with.
