our organisation...

The CHFA has a permanent staffing establishment of eight people. 

All of our staff have a private sector background and bring to the organisation a diverse range of skills in general management, banking and finance, property management and accountancy.  Overall the group has developed an in-depth knowledge of the DHB sector.

This is complemented as required by the CHFA having access to a number of expert advisers/contract staff for specific tasks and to cover workload peaks.

Our priorities are to ensure that we:

• understand the needs of DHBs
• proactively monitor the financial performance of DHBs
• offer high quality, practical, professional and independent advice
• strengthen the linkages between our financial and policy advice
• encourage access to our services through effective work practices
• work in partnership and cooperation with DHBs and other stakeholders
