Dear Wellington City Council,

I noted

“ A new Community Housing Provider (CHP) is being established in Wellington to support the long-term provision of social and affordable housing in the city. This brand-new organisation represents an exciting change and an opportunity to transform Wellington’s social housing landscape.Operating as an independent, charitable community housing trust, the CHP will be an entity of scale providing housing and tenancy services for 3,200 tenants and managing a portfolio of 2,000 Wellington City Council-owned properties and annual revenues of approximately $30 million. A major focus of the CHP will be to increase housing supply and it will be supported by the Council to do so.The creation of a CHP provides the opportunity to improve the wellbeing of current and future social housing tenants through the provision of warm, dry, safe housing and high-quality tenancy services, to add much needed housing in Wellington, and to create partnerships in the development and delivery of housing.The Trust is looking to appoint three independent Trustees to its Board (along with an experienced and passionate executive leader as the founding Chief Executive) to oversee the establishment and success of the new entity. ”

May I ask how did you call for public nomination and on what platform you have call for public nominations, e.g. govt.jobs website. Also, how many applications you have received from the public and how many you have received from other nominating agencies such as TPK. further, how many you have shortlisted.

I am also request, term of reference of this new entity and pay rate, job description for the trustee.

Yours faithfully,

john luke

Kia ora John Luke,

Thank you for your enquiry below. 

 

The information you’ve requested relates to recruitment processes being
run by the Board of the Community Housing Provider for Board members and a
Chief Executive.  The Council is responding to your request for
information on the Board’s behalf.

The recruitment processes for Board members and Chief Executive are being
run for the Board by Jackson Stone, a recruitment firm that specialises in
governance and senior leadership recruitment.  The advertisements for the
roles have been placed in these locations:

•                     Dominion Post

•                     Seek

•                     LinkedIn

•                     Stuff Digital

•                     Google Display

•                     JacksonStone website

•                     Taituarâ Local Government Jobs website

We are not able to provide any further information about the recruitment
(e.g., number of applications received etc) as these are confidential HR
processes which are currently in progress, and it is important to protect
the privacy of those people in the process. Therefore, this part of your
request has been refused under section 7(2)(a) of the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act 1987

The terms of reference for the entity are set out in its Trust Deed which
was approved by the Council in December and is available here at page 27
