Company

At Solihull Community Housing we fulfil multiple roles as an important employer, developer, partner and placeshaper for the region. We have stepped-up in all these roles over the last few years. With increased confidence in our reputation for delivery by our Council partner, we are expanding service provision and growing our asset base for our customers. At the heart of this is our commitment to creating better homes and thriving communities.

We manage nearly 10,000 homes on behalf of Solihull Council. We also manage the housing register and homeless services on behalf of the Council, as well as providing additional services to support people to live independently for longer and to manage their finances effectively.

We work in diverse and vibrant communities and are keen to ensure our Board reflects that. So we would particularly welcome applications from across a range of different perspectives and life experiences. At SCH we are a team which values collaborative working, with good debate that leads to sound decision-making. If this aligns to how you like to work and you want to actively contribute with purpose and impact, do contact us to find out more.
