Job description

Hello.

If finding a unique opportunity to understand different aspects of Procurement and how they interact with wider business matters to you.


You matter to us. An exciting opportunity has arisen within our Procurement Team, we are looking to appoint a Procurement Officer. This role has been designed as a development role offering study support and opportunity to complete your qualifications to be a member of the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply along with plenty of chances to apply your learning in the workplace.


You’ll be mentored and guided by our Procurement Manager, with support from the Procurement team, who will empower you to grow and develop. Working independently, you’ll learn how to excel in high pressured environments. And, as we’re big believers in agile and flexible working and promoters of a diverse and inclusive culture. The successful candidate will be part of a small dynamic team, working to support the Organisation and its subsidiary companies to procure and contract a vast array of goods services and works.


Come and join our team

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 and Leeds, where diverse communities face differing opportunities and challenges.


Some customers just need an affordable home, or a way onto the property ladder. Others might need a bit more – financial advice, community services, sheltered accommodation or even training that can lead to a new job. Whatever people need to feel more secure, confident and happy with where they’re at, we work our heart out to provide it.
