Independent Chair of the Residents Consortium

The purpose of the role is to independently chair meetings of the Residents Consortium, ensuring that residents are able to participate effectively in discussions and decision-making on key housing issues.
Portsmouth Homes is committed to encouraging residents to work with us to improve services. A key part of this is consulting and involving residents in important decisions that affect their homes and communities.
The Residents Consortium (RC) is the forum for Portsmouth Homes tenants and leaseholders to provide feedback, discuss strategic housing matters, and contribute to decisions on key housing services and policies.
We are seeking an experienced individual to chair these meetings on a self-employed basis. Applicants should have a strong housing background, with knowledge of social housing, tenant and leaseholder issues, and an understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing residents and housing providers. We are also looking for someone who understands the importance of meaningful resident engagement, including the expectations placed on social landlords through the Regulator of Social Housing’s Transparency, Influence and Accountability Standard, and who can help ensure residents are supported to have an effective voice in discussions and decision-making.
