Job description

Overview

Chair of Audit and Assurance Committee Role

Make a Difference. Help Shape Homes, Communities and Futures.

Prima Group is a community-focused housing association with over 2,800 homes across Merseyside. We provide safe, warm, good-quality homes for families, single people, older residents and key workers — and we’re looking for new Board Members to help shape our future.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our Board in a key role of Chair of the Audit and Assurance Committee.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for individuals who can:

• Ask thoughtful questions and support constructive challenge
• Bring fresh thinking and different perspectives
• Make balanced, evidence-based decisions
• Work collaboratively with others
• Keep customers and communities at the heart of decisions

A financial qualification is not essential for the Chair of Audit and Assurance Committee role — but financial literacy is important, as is experience of Board level or working, alongside a Board if not on a Board previously.

• Annual remuneration: £5,600 for Chair of Audit
• Mix of in person and virtual meetings (MS Teams & Liverpool office)
• Full induction and ongoing development
• Supportive, inclusive culture
• Opportunities to contribute to our strategic direction, values and impact

Our commitment to inclusion

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds. We are particularly keen to hear from candidates who are underrepresented at Board level across the housing sector.

If you need adjustments at any stage of the process — or support to participate fully as a Board Member — we will provide them.
