About the role
At Karbon we build, manage, and look after homes for people across the North. And then we go further, we give them the strong foundations they need to crack on with life. We want to build better lives for our customers, not just better homes. Everything we do is for their security, health, and happiness under their own roofs, in their communities and out there in the wider world.

Since our formation in 2017, we’ve been focused on delivering on our three strategic aims - to provide as many good quality homes as we can; to deliver excellent service to our customers; and to shape strong, sustainable places for our communities.

Our footprint covers the Northeast of England and Yorkshire, south from the Scottish border to almost as far as the Humber, where diverse communities face differing opportunities and challenges.

As a Supported Housing Officer at Karbon Homes you will provide an excellent housing and estate management service to our customers and communities.  This opportunity will empower you to make a difference to people’s lives.

You will develop and maintain effective working relationships with other internal teams such as specialist housing, community investment, community engagement, money matters, KPS and development.

It goes without saying that you will have good organisation, time management and ICT skills. But most importantly you will be great with people.
