Help shape and scrutinise housing services in Winchester!

Bring challenge. Create change. Stay curious.

Winchester City Council is recruiting two tenants, leaseholders or shared owners to join Tenants and Council Together (TACT), our tenant-led scrutiny and assurance board.

TACT members do more than share views. They examine evidence, ask thoughtful questions, challenge us constructively and help turn tenants' experiences into meaningful improvements.

The opportunity

Role

Two tenant members

Allowance

£1,200 a year, paid quarterly

Commitment

Four Board meetings, four workshops and two half-day stock tours each year

Location

Winchester City Council offices, with hybrid access when needed

Term

Three years, with an option to renew for a further two years

What you'll bring

• curiosity and a willingness to ask why
• your experience as a Winchester City Council tenant, leaseholder or shared owner
• the ability to listen to different views and offer respectful challenge
• an interest in fair, safe and responsive housing services
• a willingness to consider evidence and learn with support
• reliability and commitment to improving services for everyone

You don't need previous board experience or detailed housing knowledge. We provide induction, mentoring, training, digital support and a laptop loan if needed.

Who we particularly want to hear from

We want TACT to reflect a wider range of perspectives. We particularly welcome applications from younger people, women, people from Black, Asian and other ethnically diverse communities, LGBTQIA+ people and disabled people. The role is open to all eligible applicants, and we will appoint against the published criteria.
