About us

Southern Cross Housing (SCH) is an accredited Tier 1 Community Housing Provider under the National Regulatory System for Community Housing.

With a portfolio of some 2,300 dwellings, SCH manages assets worth over $1 billion, and has net assets in excess of $100 million.

From humble beginnings in 1983, SCH has grown to become a leading provider of Social and Affordable Housing in Regional NSW, with a proud reputation for service excellence and innovation, which has provided opportunities for growth.

We intend to continue this trend of growth to meet the needs of the communities we service.

This is a remunerated position commensurate with similar not-for-profit organisations. As a guide, Board members can expect to meet 10 times per year, engage between meetings as required and undertake annual professional development.

Selection criteria

We are seeking a candidate with demonstrated Financial expertise.

Additionally, all candidates must have a genuine interest in, and a broad understanding of, the Social and Affordable Housing Sector, strong business acumen supported by demonstrable strategic ability, a sound understanding of good governance and well-developed communication skills.

The Board is committed to gender balance, diversity and inclusion and encourages applications from people with diverse backgrounds.

Interested?

You are invited to apply by submitting your CV and a statement articulating the value you believe you can bring to SCH aligning to your area of expertise.

Applications for these roles will be assessed as received with a view to nominations for preferred candidates to be completed in readiness for the Annual General Meeting in November.
