Appointment of an Independent Chair to the Regulatory Board for Wales

The post of Chair will be paid at £256 per day.

The Regulatory Board for Wales (RBW) examines the regulatory performance and activity of the Welsh Government and the housing sector, by considering annual reports and guidance from the Regulator, and other publications on the performance of the sector. RBW will use that information to advise Ministers on the performance of the regulator, the sector and any related policy implications and therefore on any changes required to the Regulatory Framework for Housing Associations in Wales.

The Independent Chair will have:

• a sound understanding of the political and policy framework and be able to offer policy advice and guidance to Ministers and civil servants
• ideally, a background in housing provision and housing policy, and an understanding of public service, regulation and the non-profit housing association sector
• established chairing skills and be comfortable with working with a Board with diverse skills
• the appropriate standing and relevant expertise to secure the support of Housing Associations in Wales, tenants and the wider community as represented in the RBW and
• a commitment to inclusive leadership and equality of opportunity.

The Independent Chair is expected to spend at least 6 days per quarter on RBW business. RBW business is conducted in locations across Wales.

It is the policy of the Welsh Government to promote and integrate equality of opportunity into all aspects of its business including appointments to public bodies. It welcomes and encourages applications from groups currently under-represented including women, minority ethnic communities and people with a disability.  The principles of fair and open competition will apply and appointments will be made on merit.

The closing date for receipt of applications is 25 October 2019.  Applications received after this date will not be considered. Interviews will be held on 02-05 December 2019.
