A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction. So, we are striving for change, with individuals, in communities, across society, and leading the way to a safe home. We need ambitious, best-in-class individuals who are passionate about our cause to join us at this exciting time. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, fair, equitable and transparent.

We have committed to combat racism both within and outside Shelter and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

About the team

Community Fundraising at Shelter exists to provide a quality experience for supporters who want to organise their own fundraising and events. We’re part of a wider Community & Events team that sits within an Income Generation directorate. Together, we look after a wide range of fundraising activities to help fund our mission to ensure a safe home for all. It’s an exciting time to join us, as we’re going through a big period of growth - and this role will be essential to our National Team’s success. We work hard, but have fun too. Your line manager will be there to support you and encourage your personal development and you’ll have the opportunity to progress within the Community & Events team and beyond.

About the role

Day-to-day, well rely on you to act as a first point of contact for all Community & Events enquiries, with a focus on Community Fundraising in particular. You’ll regularly liaise with supporters by phone, email, online and post, as well as assist with other supporter communications e.g. thanking and newsletters. You’ll get to use your exceptional organisational skills too, as you provide administrative support to the Community & Events team across a range of activities during the busy winter fundraising period. Helping to develop Shelter’s supporter experience, working on a variety of projects and carrying out research to support the strategic goals of the team – all are aspects of this interesting, varied and vital role.

About you
A great opportunity for someone looking to start in the charity sector or move to a larger charity, you’ll need to be well-organised from the get-go. You’ll also need excellent attention to detail, especially when it comes to carrying out administrative tasks. A proactive approach is important too, whether it’s setting up meetings, asking questions or suggesting /trying new ideas. Equally important is a willingness to be busy during the working day and enjoy the variety it brings. Flexible, adaptable and happy to get stuck into different activities as required, the role involves occasional evening and weekend work for which you’ll be given time off in lieu. Last but not least you should be inquisitive, willing to learn and keen to find solutions to problems.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit.

Benefits

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave (pro rata), enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, payroll giving, cycle to work scheme and an employee assistance programme.

Shelter helps millions of people every year struggling with bad housing or homelessness through our advice, support and legal services. And we campaign to make sure that, one day, no one will have to turn to us for help. We’re here so no one has to fight bad housing or homelessness on their own.
