Welcome…
Thank you for your interest in joining North Downs Housing.
North Downs Housing Limited is an independent local housing company that is now wholly owned by Guildford Borough Council, previously through Guildford Borough Council Holdings Limited. Established in 2016, it operates as a separate legal entity and manages a portfolio of approximately 90 sub-market and private rented homes in Guildford.
North Downs Housing was created to provide housing solutions for people living and working in the borough, complementing existing housing provision and supporting the delivery of homes for rent and sale.
As the organisation considers its future direction, North Downs Housing is seeking to strengthen its governance through the appointment of a Board Chair and Board Member. We are seeking individuals with strong strategic, commercial and property-related experience who can contribute to effective decision-making and governance. These appointments will bring independent expertise, fresh perspectives and strategic oversight to consider and lead the organisation’s future direction and governance requirements.
Joining North Downs Housing provides an opportunity to contribute to the governance of a council-owned housing company at a significant point in its development. Successful appointees will play an important role in supporting effective oversight, providing constructive challenge and helping ensure the organisation is well placed to navigate the opportunities and decisions that lie ahead.
