Come and join us

The GROW Traineeship gives people with lived experience of homelessness and/or other related disadvantages (including but not limited to; contact with the criminal justice system, mental ill-health or substance use) access to paid employment, training and personal development opportunities. The traineeship lasts for up to 12 months, and each GROW receives personalised training and support to help remove some of the barriers that may have prevented them gaining meaningful employment.

We are looking for people who are passionate about using their own experiences to help make change for people experiencing bad housing and homelessness.

About Shelter

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 role

Working in a team of seven, you will be part of the research function at Shelter, finding data and evidence to support Shelter’s fundraising, media, services, campaigning and brand work.

As well as researching the benefits of social homes, we also do research on the scale of the housing emergency, including homelessness, and who is most affected.

The Research team is part of Shelter’s Activism & Advocacy division. This means you may work with our Public Affairs, Digital Campaigns, Community Organising and Policy teams too.

The GROW trainee programme includes opportunities to get involved in Shelter at a national level, using your experiences to influence our work as a whole.

About you

You’ll be a team player who is flexible, open to learning, and willing to ask for support when needed. You’ll have basic IT skills, such as using email and searching the internet, and be able to stay organised and manage your time well. You’ll also be proactive, curious, and interested in learning more about housing and the issues people face. Importantly, you’ll have lived experience of homelessness or other disadvantages – such as substance use, or involvement with the criminal justice system – and you’ll want to use your experience to make a positive difference. You may also be facing challenges to employment, such as limited qualifications, a lack of experience, or long-term unemployment. A strong belief in equality and a commitment to tackling discrimination are essential.

Please note

This role is ring-fenced for those with lived experience of multiple disadvantage.  

Benefits

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, 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.

Safeguarding

Safeguarding is everyone's business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free of harm, abuse and neglect. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.

About Kinship

We are Kinship. The leading kinship care charity in England and Wales. We’re here for kinship carers – friends or family who step up to raise a child when their parents aren’t able to. 

Together, let’s commit to change for kinship families.

About the role

Our Participation and Involvement Manager will build on existing practice across the organisation and lead on the implementation and further development of a participation and involvement framework, enabling a large and diverse range of kinship carers to share their views and expertise meaningfully, safely and effectively to shape Kinship’s activity. It will also support our growing participation and involvement activity which involves children, young people and young adults with experience of growing up in kinship care.

You will work closely with kinship carers and colleagues across the organisation to understand the key challenges and opportunities with embedding participatory methods, including co-production and co-design, which improve Kinship’s work – right from the design and delivery of our advice and support services through to influencing policy and campaigning for change.

With support from colleagues, you will act as the key cross-organisational adviser on participation and involvement practice, supporting and empowering colleagues to develop the skills and knowledge they need to embed a consistent approach to the involvement of kinship carers to best suit the needs of their roles.

As an enthusiastic and engaging facilitator, and an advocate for participatory methods, you will sensitively and skillfully work alongside kinship carers and colleagues to deliver high quality involvement activity which supports the charity’s mission and aims. You will also be an experienced project manager, ensuring all activity is appropriately monitored and evaluated, and aligned with best practice around equality and diversity, remuneration, safeguarding and governance.

Key responsibilities include:

• Refine and further develop an existing organisational participation and involvement framework which supports staff to meaningfully, safely and effectively involve kinship carers in their work.
• Design and implement a plan to embed effective practice based on the framework across Kinship, building a positive organisational culture and providing appropriate training, upskilling and support to colleagues to ensure consistency of delivery and experience for kinship carers.
• Lead a cross-organisational working group of people with relevant lived, learned and professional experiences to support and advise on embedding high-quality participation and involvement activity.
• Work closely with colleagues across the whole organisation to understand their bespoke needs, strengths and requirements around implementing participatory methods in their day-to-day work, and develop strategic relationships with colleagues in areas with more extensive existing participatory or adjacent activity (e.g. research, volunteering).
• Develop and recruit a network of people with lived experience interested in being more intensively involved in participatory activities, with a focus on increasing the diversity of people working with us.

Essential experience includes:

• Experience managing and leading the delivery of participation or involvement activity with people with lived experience of social issues.

At The Air Ambulance Service, our mission is nothing short of life-saving. We operate two vital services: Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) and the Children’s Air Ambulance, providing specialist paediatric transfers across the UK. Every mission is made possible by the dedication of our expert pilots, doctors, and paramedics — and entirely funded by the generosity of our supporters.

Our services don’t draw on NHS funding. Instead, we operate alongside it, enabling more lives to be saved, more families to stay together, and more futures to be protected. And now, we’re looking for a Strategic Individual Giving Manager to help us expand this critical mission.

The Role

We’re seeking a strategic and inspirational Individual Giving leader to take ownership of a thriving programme and elevate it to new heights. You will drive the strategy for a £12m+ programme, lead a passionate team, and oversee campaigns including lottery, raffles, cash appeals, and supporter acquisition.

With a strong emphasis on supporter retention, journey design, and lifetime value, you’ll shape and deliver a growth-focused strategy that secures sustainable income and deepens supporter engagement.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and deliver the Individual Giving Strategy and budget, targeting growth in net income.
• Lead and support a small but high-performing team to deliver inspirational campaigns.
• Manage and evolve acquisition and stewardship campaigns to expand and retain the supporter base.
• Use insight, segmentation, and innovation to drive campaign performance and supporter satisfaction.
• Oversee campaign analytics, reporting, forecasting, and budget management.
• Collaborate across teams to maximise impact and ensure a joined-up supporter experience.
• Contribute to CRM enhancements to enable a unified, insight-led supporter view.
• Ensure compliance with all legal, ethical, and internal governance standards.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven success in creating and implementing high-performing Individual Giving strategies.
• Experience managing large-scale acquisition and retention campaigns across digital and offline channels.
• A data-driven mindset, comfortable with metrics, segmentation, and budget forecasting.
• Strong understanding of CRM systems and fundraising technologies.
• Natural leadership skills — someone who motivates, supports, and brings out the best in their team.
• Creative, collaborative, and proactive with a strong ability to manage multiple priorities.
• A passion for supporter experience and building long-term, meaningful relationships.

This role is subject to a Basic DBS check.
