Description
At Karbon Homes we build, own, and manage homes for people across the North. And then we go further; we want to build better futures for our customers, not just better homes, reflecting our mission to provide a strong foundation for life. We look after around 70,000 customers in 34,000 properties and employ over 1,000 people,
Despite being a large and diverse organisation, we have a local approach. As a social enterprise, we reinvest our surplus in the business, enabling us to provide high quality homes and services to support our residents. That, in turn, helps to create stronger and more resilient communities.
We are looking for an exceptional individual to join our Group Board and lead our Group Audit and Risk Committee. This is a key position, responsible for ensuring robust governance and effective risk management.
We are looking for an experienced professional with evidence of a successful career as a qualified accountant or auditor, ideally within the social housing sector or a comparable sector. The successful candidate is also likely to have had previous experience as a non-executive member of an audit and risk committee, preferably in a chairing role.
We welcome individuals who can offer fresh perspectives, strategic thinking, and a commitment to delivering high-quality services for our customers, with the desire to make a positive impact.
This position offers the chance to work with a talented Board and staff, contribute to a socially responsible organisation, and shape services for the better.
We are committed to diversity and inclusion and encourage applications from individuals from all backgrounds, including those with lived experience in social housing.
