About The Organisation

Worthing Homes is a community-focused housing association with a simple but powerful purpose: providing homes to support better lives. Managing more than 4,000 homes and supporting around 10,000 customers across the Sussex coast, we are deeply rooted in our communities and proud of our reputation as a trusted landlord and partner. In 2024 we launched our new corporate plan, 27 Steps by 2027, setting out our ambition to become the Home of Brilliance; a customer-first organisation that delivers brilliant outcomes for residents, colleagues and communities.

Position Description

We are now looking for two new Board Members to join us from August/September 2026, as part of our succession planning. These are genuine opportunities to contribute to the strategic direction of a dynamic, values-driven organisation at an exciting point in its journey.

Selection Criteria

Candidates will bring an understanding of governance and risk, gained in either board-facing senior executive or non-executive roles; we are happy to consider and support people for whom this would be a first non-executive role. For both board seats, we are looking for people who will enjoy contributing to the full range of issues that come to the Board. We need people who combine strategic thinking with commercial acumen, and who understand what it means to serve customers well in a regulated environment.

Above all, we are looking for people who share our values and our passion for making a real difference; collaborative, curious and confident contributors who will bring challenge and support in equal measure, and who feel a genuine connection to what Worthing Homes is here to do.

These are remunerated roles requiring a time commitment of around 1.5 days a month, with Board meetings held in the evening at our Worthing office and committee meetings held online.

How to Apply

New Street Consulting Group is acting as an employment agency advisor to Worthing Homes on these appointments.

Applications should be received by noon on Monday 29th June 2026.
