Do you want to use your skills as a Community Organiser to help fight the country's housing emergency? Then join Shelter as part of our Community Organising team and you could soon be playing your part in bringing about positive change that will genuinely transform millions of people's lives.

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 Campaigns Team
Right now, the stakes are higher than ever. There is a growing housing emergency affecting people up and down the country – from homeless people on the streets or in temporary accommodation, to the millions stretched to breaking point renting unaffordable, poor quality homes or stuck on social housing waiting lists. The Covid-19 pandemic has only added to the pressures people are under because of our broken housing system. Shelter has an enormous responsibility to ensure that people have their voices heard, and that this leads to change.

We want to help build a movement to change housing in Britain with ambitious goals to inspire people to take action, and support housing activism that leads to real change right across the country. The job of the Campaigns team is to support and help to build that movement of housing campaigners across the UK. Join us and be part of that change.

About the role
An amazing opportunity to work with communities facing housing injustice to tackle the housing emergency, you will be part of a Community Organising programme that will listen to and support communities to campaign to bring about change on the housing issues which matter to them in their communities. You will be working with a team of Organisers and Campaigners across the UK to bring about a step change in our response to the housing emergency. Whether you are having 1:1 meetings, delivering training or developing campaign strategies, you will be able to build on the existing approaches, skills and knowledge within Shelter in campaigning, advice or community networks, and use those resources to build the power of the UK housing rights movement.

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.

About you
This is not an entry level role, so you will already have some experience of working/volunteering in a campaigning or organising environment. A committed individual who wants to make sure the voices of those most affected by the housing emergency are heard, you're a good listener, able to build strong relationships and develop a strong strategic vision to make change happen.

You're also an excellent communicator, with good influencing and negotiating skills, who will be comfortable representing us to a range of external stakeholders. You'll need a good understanding of how change happens, and how develop campaign strategies that win. And, while housing and homelessness experience is not a requirement, you must share our passion for campaigning for the rights of people affected by the UK housing emergency.

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.

To find out more about the role and the benefits of working for Shelter please visit our website. Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.

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 from 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.

Shelter does not accept unsolicited CVs from external recruitment agencies nor accept the fees associated with them.

Flexible location with travel expected

One of the UK’s most inspiring and best-known, faith-based organisations is looking for a highly experienced individual to join them in this newly created role of Head of Community and Membership Fundraising.

For the Salvation Army, their ‘community’ is so much broader than it is for other charities as it includes not only people choosing to fundraise organise/take part in an event, but also church leaders and people who attend a Salvation Army Church. There is also an amazing diversity in the things people fundraise for, ranging from small but impactful local initiatives to national programmes such as supporting refugees and the survivors of modern slavery, along with people experiencing homelessness and tackling addictions.  This role, part of a developing Senior Leadership Team, has been newly created to bring a new strategic approach to this area of fundraising, including spearheading a major new development empowering and supporting local churches and community centres to fundraise more effectively.

To make sure we get the right person for this important new role, we are happy to offer some flexibility in terms of number of hours worked and where/when they are worked. You could be based at Salvation Army Headquarters or if you are home based you would need to come in on occasions, likely to be once a month. Currently Headquarters is at the Elephant and Castle in London but in 2023 it will be moving to a new, modern building at Denmark Hill, London, SE5 8BQ, conveniently situated just across the road from Denmark Hill station.

So, what skills and experience are we looking for?

You will need to be a highly successful fundraiser who knows all about best practice. As a strong, natural manager you’ll be comfortable developing plans, setting and managing budgets and managing staff. You may have been on a senior leadership team but if not, you’ll be ready for that next step and looking forward to playing a part in the leadership of the Marketing & Fundraising Department.

Benefits: 25 days annual leave + bank holidays (pro rata for part-time); a contributory pension scheme; season ticket loan and an employee assistance programme.

The recruitment process is being handled for us by Valerie Morton who knows The Salvation Army well. If you would like to have an informal chat about the role you are welcome to contact her (please visit our website for contact details) 

Closing date: 30th January 2022 at midnight. Interviews: w/c 7th February 2022.
