The Scottish Housing Regulator is led by a board of non-executive members appointed by Scottish Ministers. The board sets the Regulator’s strategic direction and has responsibility for governance and oversight of SHR.

Garry Coutts, chair of the Scottish Housing Regulator, said: “This is an excellent opportunity to join our team to help safeguard and promote the interests of tenants and service users, especially during these particularly challenging times in social housing. We are working with Scottish Ministers to recruit two new board members as two of our colleagues come to the end of their appointment terms.

“We are asking all our stakeholders to help us promote these opportunities. We want to attract applicants from across Scotland with a range of viewpoints and life experiences. We are particularly keen to hear from tenants and from people with recent senior-level experience in the housing sector. I’d also like to encourage applications from women and other underrepresented groups in Scottish public life.

“I would encourage applicants to read our information pack and watch the related information videos. I would also like to invite anyone interested to look out for and attend our virtual information event later in November 2026. More information about these and how to sign up will be available on the Scottish Public Bodies website very soon.”

The closing date for applicants is 27 November 2026. More information can be found here.
