Background

ShareAction is a charity and campaigning organisation working to unleash the power of the financial system to drive social progress and protect our environment. We focus on transforming the investment system, using it as a lever to generate positive social and environmental impact in the real world.

We do this by:

• Educating and working with investors to improve their practices;
• Influencing the policy-makers and industry regulators that can ensure the investment system serves society’s interests in the long-term;
• Campaigning to unlock the power of investors, as shareholders in companies, to change corporate behaviour (on issues such as climate change, good work and human rights, sustainable food and public health);
• Mobilising ordinary people, who have a stake in the investment system through their pensions and savings, to demand a change in how their money is invested;
• Collaborating with other civil society organisations who share our vision.

Job Description

You will be joining us at an exciting time, when there is rising interest in how banks are addressing climate change risks and fostering the transition to a cleaner and safer world.

You will be responsible for supporting ShareAction’s banking work with high-quality research and analysis, and contributing to the development of standards for the banking industry on climate change and other ESG issues going forward.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Although your role will be varied and open to some change in the activities you will undertake, below are the types of activities that you can expect to be doing:

• Supporting the banking team with ad hoc research, for instance to prepare for meetings or presentations;
• Presenting research findings to banks and investors on an occasional basis and with the support of the Financial Sector Strategies and Communications teams;
• Contributing to the development of standards for the banking industry – initially on climate change but this might include other ESG issues going forward, working closely with the Senior campaign manager and Director of Financial Sector Strategies;
• Contributing to analyses aimed at increasing investor engagement standards with the banking industry on climate change – this might include other ESG issues going forward;
• Helping the Head of Financial Sector Research develop survey methodologies and analyse survey responses. See for example the 2020 Banking on Climate Change survey we published in April 2020;
• Working closely with our communications team to coordinate press and social media around publications;
• Assisting in the submissions of responses to consultations, such as those ran by the Bank of England, European Central Bank and the European Commission;
• Helping the banking team to file shareholder resolutions, draft investor letters and AGM questions, etc.

At Shelter we value our people and the skills and expertise they can bring to their role to help further Shelter's cause. As a Community Shop Manager, how you manage people is the most important skill we are looking for and it will be critical to your success in this role.

How is this all possible? 

It's simple, with a strong, motivated and committed volunteer shop team behind you, anything is possible!

What are the benefits? 

We offer a wide range of benefits including 30 days annual leave, enhanced maternity/paternity leave, childcare vouchers and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, 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 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.

At Shelter, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone regardless of age, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation.
