The new chief executive of scandal-hit Rochdale Boroughwide Housing (RBH) is set to earn roughly £170,000 per year.
The housing provider was slammed following death of Awaab Ishak, a two-year-old toddler who lived in an RBH property in the Freehold estate. His death was caused by prolonged exposure to mould at the family’s flat, a coroner found.
In the wake of the tragedy, RBH staff were slammed for holding a 'wholly unacceptable' attitude towards refugees. Awwab’s family were asylum seekers from Sudan.
