Procurement Officer

Job description

**Hello.**

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

**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.

**Key Information**

Here is some key information you’ll want to know right away:

- This is a permanent role.
- Salary is £29,000 per annum.

- Karbon’s main offices are located Gosforth, Stanley, Headingly, and Huntington.

**We are looking for**

We are looking for people who have a strong commitment and are self-motivated to develop and learn. We want people with an economic focus who want to achieve value for money as well as maximising quality in all activities. You will also identify approaches to achieve agreements with external and internal organisations and stakeholders, including developing the communication skills that can influence positive negotiated outcomes.

We will invest in you and give you vast exposure to different areas and aspects of Commercial Procurement, because we believe you will be the future of our business. In return, we expect you to be driven, hardworking and Karbon’s values and behaviours.

**What you’ll get out of it**

You will be supported to achieve the L4 Diploma in Procurement & Supply with the Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply (CIPS). Completion of CIPS L4 gains eligibility for equivalent membership of the CIPS. CIPS L4 is a pre-requisite for MCIPS (L6) and the full professional licence and offers the potential for Chartered status.
