CHS is all about people; the 7,000 people living in our affordable homes, the 1,850

people who rely on our care, support and community investment services, and our people

who are committed to delivering high quality services.

We are looking for up to three new Board members with experience in any of the following areas to join our talented and committed Board, who care passionately about providing great quality homes and services for people in and around Cambridgeshire:

Finance, Treasury and Audit and Risk

Previous experience of Non-Executive Director/Trustee/Governor roles would also be advantageous as we are also looking for someone that has the skill set to be our Deputy Chair. If you wish to be considered for Deputy Chair, please make this clear within your application.

As part of the Board, you will use your skills and knowledge to shape our strategic direction and support CHS to provide excellent services and remain financially viable. As well as attending Board meetings, you will also be a member of one of our Committees, which will be allocated based on the knowledge and experience that you bring to the role. Committee meetings are usually held online via MS Teams (approx 4 per year) whilst Board meetings and Strategy Days are held in person (approx 7 meetings per annum).

You will bring local knowledge and an appreciation of the key issues affecting housing, poverty, wellbeing and vulnerability in our local community. You will be provided with a comprehensive induction to CHS, social housing and the services we provide.

We welcome candidates from diverse backgrounds reflecting the communities we serve, who can apply their experience from different sectors to this demanding role and who can support our commitment to be a diverse and inclusive organisation.
