Two Committee Chairs
Connexus
Time commitment: 24 days per year - Hybrid - Shropshire and Herefordshire
£15,000
Connexus is a community-focused, rural housing group providing over 10,500 high-quality affordable homes and support services across Shropshire and Herefordshire. Formed in 2017 through the merger of Herefordshire Housing and Shropshire Housing Group, we have grown into one of the most significant housing providers in the West Midlands and Marches region.
We are a registered social landlord and a values-led organisation. With a G1/V2 regulatory rating and a turnover of more than £674m, we are financially sound and ready for our next chapter of transformation and growth. Our purpose – to provide homes in which residents can build their lives – drives everything we do, from the quality of our repairs service to how we develop new affordable homes across our rural communities.
THE ROLE
We are entering an exciting new chapter of change. Our 2025–2030 Corporate Plan sets an ambitious direction for the organisation, and my appointment as Chair in September 2025 provides a significant opportunity to continue to shape and strengthen our Board. We are now seeking two new Non-Executive Directors, each of whom will chair a key Board committee: one as Chair of our Customer Committee, and one as Chair of our People Committee.
These roles offer a genuine opportunity to influence strategic direction, enhance outcomes for customers and communities, and shape organisational culture. They are distinct roles requiring different professional backgrounds, but both call for the same qualities: independence of mind, genuine commitment to our mission, and the ability to provide constructive, well-informed challenge that helps Connexus become the best it can be for the people we serve.
