Who we are
Northamptonshire Partnership Homes is an arms-length management organisation, formed in January 2015 that manages around 11,000 homes on behalf of West Northamptonshire Council.
We employ over 250 talented members of staff, including specialist trades personnel in our Property Maintenance team. Our board members work closely with our executive management team to ensure that we meet our vision, mission and values.
You can find out more about our Chief Executive and Board members below.
How we are governed
NPH is a private limited company which is wholly owned by West Northamptonshire Council (WNC). NPH manages over 11,000 social houses across Northampton on behalf of WNC. There is a management agreement in place which details the services that NPH provide, and we are given a management fee by WNC to pay for those services. NPH has its own board which is there to manage company strategy, to scrutinise performance and risk management, and constructively challenge what we do.
The NPH Board comprises of 4 independent Board Members, 4 tenant Board Members and 4 council nominated Board Members. This split ensures that different stakeholder viewpoints are heard; board decisions are always decided by a majority vote to ensure fairness. NPH complies with the National Federation of Housing code of governance as this is considered to be best practice.
The Board Members have the strategic overview of NPH, whilst the operational management (how we are run every day) sits with the Executive Management Team (EMT).
Board Members serve for a 3-year term, up to a maximum of 6 years and this rotation means that the board stays fresh with current skillsets and knowledge within the board. When vacancies arise for independent and tenant Board Members a full recruitment process is carried out to get the right levels of skills to provide the scrutiny, challenge and support needed for the role.
Board meeting minutes are always published here on our website for full transparency, you are welcome to look through them, you’ll find them here.
