Lead Assurance. Shape Strategy. Strengthen Communities.

At a time of increasing regulatory scrutiny, financial complexity and growing demand for safe, high-quality homes, Alliance Homes Group is seeking an exceptional Audit & Risk Committee Chair to join its Board.

This is a pivotal governance role with significant influence offering the opportunity to shape financial oversight, risk management and assurance in a purpose-led organisation that is deeply committed to its customers and communities.

Whether your background is in social housing, the commercial sector, professional services or beyond, if you bring strong financial leadership, governance expertise and a values-driven mindset, we want to hear from you.

About Us

Alliance Homes is a community-based housing provider serving the West of England. We own and manage over 7,000 homes and deliver services to nearly 12,000 customers, supported by around 400 colleagues.

We are financially resilient, well-governed and ambitious for the future-focused on delivering safe, secure and affordable homes while remaining responsive to a fast-evolving operating and regulatory environment.

The Opportunity

As Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee, you will provide independent leadership and assurance to the Board across financial reporting, internal control, risk management and audit.

Working closely with fellow Board members and the Executive team, you will:

· Lead a high-performing Audit & Risk Committee, ensuring robust oversight and effective governance

· Provide clarity and assurance on financial integrity, controls and regulatory compliance

· Oversee risk in a dynamic environment balancing ambition with careful decision-making

· Bring constructive challenge and independent judgement at Board level

· Support strategic discussions on growth, treasury, investment and long-term sustainability




You will play a central role in ensuring Alliance Homes continues to operate with transparency, accountability and strong governance, while remaining focused on delivering for customers.

Who We're Looking For

We are seeking an experienced and credible leader who combines technical expertise with sound judgement and a collaborative approach.

You will bring:

· A recognised financial qualification and senior-level finance experience

· Strong understanding of audit, risk, internal controls and assurance frameworks

· A track record of operating effectively in Board or Committee environments

· The confidence and presence to support and challenge constructively

· Commercial acumen and the ability to navigate complex, regulated environments




We welcome candidates from all sectors. Experience in social housing is not essential - your ability to bring fresh perspective, independent thinking and transferable governance insight is highly valued.

Just as important is cultural alignment - our A-Game standards define how we work at Alliance, helping us stay aligned, make decisions with confidence and continuously improve our performance. They define how we deliver our strategy:

· we are all about the Customer

· We are one team

· We are easy to do business with
