Come and make a difference at Karbon as a Housing Area Manager
We’re looking for a passionate and skilled individual to join us as a Housing Area Manager in our Housing Team. This is a fantastic opportunity to be part of a team that’s making a real difference in people’s lives.
About The Role
As Housing Area Manager, you’ll lead and inspire our housing teams to deliver high-quality services across tenancy, void, allocation, and estate management. You’ll drive innovation, embed cultural and structural change, and ensure our services meet the highest standards of customer experience. This role is about leadership, collaboration, and making sure our housing strategies deliver real impact. This role is subject to the requirements of the Conduct and Competency Standard and requires an appropriate professional qualification, or a willingness to work towards one. Existing qualifications will be assessed to ensure they meet the required level and cover the knowledge areas relevant to the role. Where an existing qualification doesn’t fully meet the required standard, the successful candidate will be required to complete either top-up modules or a full qualification, as appropriate, to meet the qualification requirements of the role. Training and support would be provided following successful completion of probation and Karbon Homes may fund the qualification or top-up training. Where funding is provided, repayment may be required if you choose to leave Karbon during the qualification or within two years of completion.
About You
You’re an experienced housing professional with a proven track record in managing complex housing services. You’ll bring strong leadership skills, strategic thinking, and the ability to coach and motivate teams. You’re resilient, collaborative, and committed to delivering customer-focused solutions. Knowledge of housing legislation, tenancy enforcement, and compliance is essential, along with the ability to manage budgets and performance targets.
