Ongo Homes: Chair of the Board
Could you be our next Chair of the Board?
We are currently seeking a Chair of the Board
This is an exciting time to join us.
We have a G1/V1 judgement from the Regulator of Social Housing, which is a solid foundation for the organisation. In 2024 we launched our new Corporate Plan with three clear objectives for the next five years. Here at Ongo, working in partnership with our tenants is a key part of everything we do – and this is one of our core values as we work towards being a great landlord, being customer focused and growing a sustainable organisation.
As our current Chair, Bob Walder’s term of office comes to an end, we are looking for an individual who can continue to support our effective governance and build on our very solid foundations for the future. In line with the approach to consumer regulation by the Regulator of Social Housing (RSH), increased scrutiny and focus on the sector and an increase in Housing Ombudsman cases, a high performing governance structure is essential.
On this page, you’ll find links to all the information you need to gain an overview of our key work, our Corporate Plan, the role, the time commitment required, as well as our structure.
We are committed to ensuring that any candidate for the role of Chair embodies values which align with our own. This means someone who is committed to social purpose, has ambition, and who works in an inclusive, collaborative and people focused manner. We will expect candidates to have regulatory awareness, ideally within the social housing sector, good governance skills, and the ability to facilitate the Board, making sound, well evidenced strategic choices. An understanding of the issues facing the communities in which we operate would also be an advantage.
