Come and make a difference at Karbon as a Social Value Connector

At Karbon Homes, we create strong, sustainable places for our communities. One of the many ways in which we do this is through our Unlocking Social Value programme. Social value measures the wider impact our activities and investments have on the wellbeing of our communities. It goes beyond the cash value and looks at the benefits our support brings to our customers' lives.

This is an exciting area to work and we are looking to build on the fantastic work already being done by adding a Social Value Connector to the team.

You’ll be a key part of a small, busy team, partnering with the supply chain and community teams to translate social value commitments into tangible benefits for our customers and communities.

The role is varied, some days might be spent supporting suppliers with their social value delivery, meeting community partners to identify how social value can support them, and other days could be spent at events like school career fairs showcasing Karbon alongside our supply chain.

About you

We’re looking for a natural collaborator who can engage with internal colleagues, suppliers and community groups alike to support our social value journey.

If you are a great communicator with good planning and organisational skills who is good with Microsoft Office, you are a great fit for this role and we would love to hear from you.
