About us

LHC is a highly successful and reputable public procurement organisation working together with social landlords and public sector building owners to deliver better buildings, homes and communities throughout Great Britain.

Our current governance arrangements have been in place for over fifty years and whilst they have served LHC well in the past, the pace of growth of the LHC business requires a more agile governance structure which is representative of both current and future operations.

We are about to embark on a new phase of our spectacular development and seek an inspirational Non-Executive Chair to steward us through it.

The Chair will help to establish and lead a new LHC Board of Directors and be responsible for its overall effectiveness in directing the organisation.

The Chair will demonstrate objective judgement throughout their tenure and promote a culture of openness and debate.

In addition, the Chair will facilitate constructive Board relations and the effective contribution of all non-executive directors, and ensure that directors receive accurate, timely and clear information.

About the role

Essential Experience

S/he/they will have a wide and active network of contacts in local government and/or social housing and a deep understanding of the needs of the private sector.
A keen interest in the topics driving improved outcomes in the built environment, housing and communities we support, is essential.
We are committed to EDI as an organisation and our new Board Chair will promote equality, diversity and inclusion across all areas of LHC's activity.
The Chair will be required to guide and direct the establishment of a new Board of Directors at LHC and forming a high performing leadership team.
An ability to support a culture of joint responsibility and consensual decision making is a key requirement as is a natural ability to make sound judgements with independence and objectivity.
Significant experience of managing change and supporting the board and senior team.

Desirable Experience

Demonstrable experience of leading Boards to improve organisational performance.
Ideally some experience of working with newly established Boards and of notforprofit and/or charitable organisations.
An understanding of centralised purchasing bodies or public sector procurement

Remuneration

Fees are £15,000 p.a. and will be paid monthly through payroll, with tax and NI deducted as required. Travel and subsistence expenses incurred in relation to LHC business will be paid.

Time commitment

Estimated time commitment is around 35 days a month, particularly in the early stages.

Location

Board meetings will usually be held during normal office hours in LHC's offices in Uxbridge or virtually via Teams. LHC also has offices in Livingston, Leeds, Caerphilly and Exeter.

The inaugural Board meeting will take place in May 2023, with a welcome meeting for all new Board Directors on 30th March 2023.
