Description
We’re looking for an experienced and passionate Board Member to join our Group Board.
At Karbon we build, own and manage homes for people across the North. And then we go further, 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.
We employ over 1,000 people, looking after around 70,000 customers in 34,000 homes.
Despite being a large and diverse organisation, we have a local approach. We provide homes and services which form the foundations to support people and places to fulfil their potential. As a profit for purpose organisation, we re-invest our surplus into improving homes and communities, building new homes and delivering services which provide sustainable outcomes for customers and communities.
Our Group Board brings together people from different backgrounds who offer insight, guidance and challenge – all to help us do the right thing for our customers. We’re now looking for someone who shares that sense of purpose and who can bring their expertise to help make a difference.
We’re especially interested in people with strong expertise in one or more of these areas:
- Community engagement and investment
- Place-making and regeneration
- Current or recent lived experience of social housing
If you want to use your skills to make a real difference and help shape the future of homes and communities across the North, we’d love to hear from you.
This position offers the chance to work with a talented board and colleagues, contribute to a socially responsible organisation and shape services for the better.
We’re committed to diversity and inclusion and encourage applications from individuals from all backgrounds, including those with lived experience in social housing.
If you require a confidential discussion, please contact our advising consultants at GatenbySanderson: Nick Roberts on 07393 013697 or Chantelle Harris on 07384 460191.
The closing date for applications is 9am Monday 11th May 2026.
