2 Director of Development & Asset Management 18 May 2018 Page 2 Hello and welcome to Growth and Business Development at Karbon Homes! Here at Karbon we are all about building strong foundations for life. Building more and better homes within healthy, sustainable communities is a key part of this. This is an exciting opportunity to join us at an early stage of our journey to help shape and deliver this aim. Your focus will be on development and strategic asset management. You will enable us to realise our ambition of leveraging our asset base of 27,000 properties to build at least 500 homes a year in the North East and Yorkshire across a range of tenures including homes for outright sale. You will be joining early on in our journey towards building the new organisation. As such, you play an important part in helping to shape how Karbon looks and feels - the behaviours we will all need to role model, what new homes, products and services we may want to develop, and how we will measure our success. Your experience, skills and personality will be more important than the sector you come from. Whatever your background you will need to be comfortable working within an organisation which seeks to balance a strong business head with a social heart. So, you are likely to be enthusiastic about the prospect of using your strong commercial and creative skills to help deliver the best outcomes for our customers and communities. What we will be looking for is innovation and partnership doing the extraordinary and doing it well, having an empowering approach that gets the very best of our people, and personal credibility. We are happy for you to challenge how we do things, but your values will need to be genuinely aligned to our ethos. You will need to give confidence to and influence a wide range of people across and beyond the organisation. You are therefore likely to be comfortable in a highly visible role and your personal integrity will matter as you will be a role model for many. Leadership style and chemistry with myself and the new team will be critical to us working together, so we ll take time to ensure this is right during the selection process. I am pleased you are taking the time to consider this fantastic opportunity to join and shape a new organisation. Do your own due diligence, ask others what they think of us and speak to our retained consultants NRG. I am confident you will see and hear good things. I am also looking forward to meeting you so we can talk further about what more we can achieve together. Warm regards, Charlotte Carpenter - Executive Director Growth and Business Development
