Led by Peter Freeman, chair of Homes England, the organisation’s board is tasked with providing strategic leadership to the agency and promoting long-term, sustainable success, ensuring the delivery of its strategic objectives.

Applications are now open and will close on 12th August 2021 — more information about the roles and how to apply can be found on the government’s public appointments website.

“As the country moves beyond its current challenges, Homes England’s role has never been so important,” said Peter.

“We are working closely with the government to be an even stronger institution that can galvanise a housing-led recovery, connecting other ambitious organisations and using our resources to work strategically across the country to create jobs, homes, and long-term partnerships in places. 

“Homes England’s non-executive directors play a vital role in this, which is why we are looking for passionate, dynamic leaders to join us.”

This follows the appointment of Peter Denton as the agency’s chief executive, who will take up his post later this year.

Peter, who is currently the chief executive of the Hyde Group, has worked in strategic leadership and board roles at large scale global real estate, banking, and not-for-profit organisations.
