Chief Executive

Our Chief Executive will retire in 2025, and this is an excellent career opportunity for a driven and passionate strategic leader to build on our many recent successes and lead us through the next chapter of our history. Looking to the future, we are investing in a transformative digital mission to enhance our customers’ and colleagues’ experience through innovative and modern digital solutions.

As an aspirant or current Chief Executive with experience in the social housing sector, you will bring to CCHA an impressive track record of inspiring a wide range of teams to deliver outstanding results for customers. We are looking for an engaging and visible leader, someone who can build stakeholder relationships across a large geographic region, and a leader who will take us forward with ambition and purpose as we set and deliver our post-2027 strategic plan.

Our culture is highly collaborative, customer-focused and inclusive, and we welcome applications from a diverse range of candidates from all sections of the community.
