Non-executive Directors

North West

£15,000 per annum

We are Onward, a leading provider of quality and affordable homes for rent, shared ownership and sale across the North West. Proud to do so much more than just provide a roof over our customers’ heads, we own and manage over 35,000 homes and are one of the largest registered providers of social housing based solely in the North West of England.

We offer help and support to people facing a range of challenges, we create strong and vibrant communities, and we have a clear plan. This to us, is known as the Onward Difference - the positive difference we will make by enabling people and communities to be their best. We will do this by providing homes that you love, in places you are proud of and by working with partners to go beyond housing and invent new ways to do more.

There is now an opportunity for two exceptional Non-executive Directors to join our Board. For one of the roles, we are looking for an expert in property asset management who brings strategic leadership experience from organisations with a comparably complex property portfolio to ours. Regardless of sector, your professional background may be within surveying, with keen and relevant knowledge of de-carbonisation and we would welcome hearing from you whether you’re an aspiring or established non-executive.

The second opportunity is suited to candidates with extensive insight into how regulated boards and organisations work effectively. With extensive insight into governance, the wider people agenda, or similar, your recent strategic career will have progressed within large, complex, customer-centric environments. Your strategic expertise may have been enhanced by a similar board role within the public or non-profit sectors.

For both roles, you’ll be someone who thrives when adding strategic value beyond your area of technical expertise, and your positive, commercially astute approach will be highly valued at Onward.

It's a very positive time to join us. We are currently delivering circa 500 new homes per year. Last year we raised £215m of investment through our first bond issue, securing an exceptional A1 credit rating from Moody’s. The investment will underpin our business plan for the years ahead, as we deliver considerable social, environmental and economic impact. In addition we are a Homes England strategic partner, and our strong financial and governance credentials are illustrated by our top G1 and V1 ratings from the Regulator of Social Housing.

If you’re inspired to help us achieve our vision, further information is available by clicking Apply. Should you then wish to discuss the opportunity further, please contact our advising consultants at GatenbySanderson: Nick Roberts on 07393 013697 or Rachel Salvia on 0207 426 3374.

Closing date: 9:00am Monday 31st October 2022.
