Horsham, West Sussex, United Kingdom Saxon Weald Full time

Committee Member – Audit & Risk Committee

Horsham, West Sussex (hybrid)

£3,150pa

At Saxon Weald, we place great emphasis on providing a local housing service to fit local housing needs. We are passionate about delivering a great customer experience for the 7,000 homes we own and manage across Sussex and Hampshire. We engage with our residents in an open and positive way and make them part of our journey to provide better homes, services, and sustainable communities.

We are seeking to appoint a Committee Member to join our Audit & Risk Committee.

The Committee provides assurance to the Board on internal control, risk management and internal and external audit functions, ensuring they are effective and well managed. It also oversees the work required to return the organisation to a G1 regulatory grading.

We are looking for an experienced audit or risk professional with a proven track record of providing effective scrutiny and assurance within a complex, regulated environment. With strong expertise in internal audit, risk management, or external audit, you will bring a deep understanding of internal controls and compliance combined with the personal integrity, curiosity and rigour to support good governance.

While sector-specific experience in social housing is advantageous, what matters most is your ability to translate complex assurance issues into strategic insights. This supports Saxon Weald's commitment to regulatory compliance, financial sustainability and tenant safety.

We are looking for someone with experience of working with, or advising, Boards or Committees in a non-executive or independent capacity. You will be skilled at offering constructive challenge while building strong, collaborative relationships with executive and committee colleagues.

A relevant professional qualification (such as CMIIA, CIA, ACA, ACCA or IRM) would be an advantage, although we are particularly interested in individuals with a strong audit, governance and risk focus rather than purely technical accountancy expertise.

Above all, we're seeking someone with independence of thought, sound judgement and a genuine commitment to our values and purpose.

We welcome applicants from a diverse range of backgrounds who understand our mission and can commit the time needed to make a valuable contribution. We are committed to ensuring an inclusive recruitment process and are open to considering any reasonable adjustments needed by candidates during the recruitment process.

The Audit & Risk Committee meets four times a year (via MS Teams, early evening) plus there are two in-person board strategy days.
