Introduction

Iswe is a social impact foundation dedicated to finding ways to put people at the heart of social and political decision-making to solve some of society’s greatest challenges. 

We are seeking a motivated, resourceful and conscientious Front-End Developer to join our small digital product team, working on Assemblis - a hugely ambitious global platform to strengthen community-led decision-making - as it moves from a working prototype to a fully fledged product used by community groups worldwide. We are looking for some eager to have an impact, both on the product they are building and on the world.

The period from 2025 to 2026 presents a unique opportunity to scale the use and impact of Assemblis around the COP30 UN Climate Conference—set to take place in the Amazon at the end of 2025—by leveraging strategic relationships, including key support from the Brazilian government.

About Assemblis

Assemblis will support communities across the world to run community gatherings, deliberate on shared challenges, and make collective decisions. The platform combines step-by-step guidance, storytelling features and data aggregation, enabling community groups to deliberate meaningfully, share their insights and connect with each other.  Our vision:

A world of resilient local communities that have the tools and confidence to make fair, effective decisions, through community assemblies that facilitate learning, build solidarity and have clear pathways to local and global action.

Assemblis will support people to deliberate on challenges and act together in their communities, whilst building a global picture of citizen needs, actions and solutions, which will inform global decision making. One of the ways it will do this is through the Global Citizens’ Assembly - a permanent institution that Iswe and partners are building.

A Global Citizens’ Assembly for COP30 to be launched in Brazil in November is the key opportunity to pilot Assemblis. We are currently testing a minimum viable product (functional prototype) with small sets of global users, and are looking for someone who can lead the iteration process, with the goal of an alpha launch in Climate Week in September.

Does your extensive experience of delivering  anti-racism, equity and inclusion (AREI) strategies within a complex organisational structure include having collaborated and co-produced solutions with a wide range of stakeholders? Then join Shelter as Head of Equity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism and you could soon be playing a pivotal role within our Equity, Inclusion and Culture Directorate.

About the role

This is a hands-on, practical role for someone who can hit the ground running. You’ll be leading the design and delivery of Anti-Racism, Equity and Inclusion (AREI) plans that turn vision into reality — working across directorates to embed change where it matters most.

You’ll work closely with Directors, HR, and a range of stakeholders to build and deliver programmes that support Shelter’s strategic aims. That means helping teams shift from intention to action — shaping and delivering interventions that have a real, measurable impact. From advising on best practice, facilitating workshops and training, to reporting on progress and helping the organisation stay accountable — this is a role with reach and purpose.

Role specifics

An excellent leader and project manager, your career to date will need to include extensive experience of mobilising teams to support the development of measurable initiatives to drive and embed cultural change and inclusion within an organisation. We’ll particularly be looking for a pragmatic and proactive approach, with a history of co-designing and delivering Equity and Inclusion (E&I) initiatives that resonated with an organisation’s core values and were pivotal for driving forward their ambitious goals. A flair for turning concepts into actionable plans is essential too, as are strong communication and presentation skills and the ability to influence and collaborate across all levels of an organisation. In short, you’re a strategic thinker with a values centred approach, E&I expertise and proven experience of leading and managing others. You are a confident leader and experienced project manager, with a solid track record of driving cultural and organisational change. You know what it takes to co-design and deliver initiatives that are grounded in an organisation’s values and relevant to its people.

You bring a practical, collaborative approach — and you’re not afraid to challenge, ask the right questions, and get things moving. You’ve led or supported measurable EDI or anti-racism work before, and you understand how to turn strategy into action. You will take a structured yet flexible planning approach, ensuring delivery stays focused while adapting to the realities of a fast-paced environment.

Crucially, you are someone who brings people with you. You can engage and influence at all levels, communicate clearly, and translate complex ideas into achievable plans. You are values-led, focused on impact, and ready to help push this agenda forward in a meaningful way.

Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.

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.

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 the team

The Equity, Inclusion and Culture (EIC) Directorate was created in 2021 to look at the future with an equity lens across Shelter and Shelter Scotland as a core part of our strategic aims.  It combines critical enabling functions to achieve this: a defined anti-racism, equity and inclusion programme, effective internal communications and engagement, dedicated lived experience activity, innovative learning, and quality volunteering.   

About Shelter

Home is a human right. It’s our foundation and where we thrive. Yet everyday millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.

We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.

We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. To win this fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, equitable and transparent. We are committed to combating racism both within and outside Shelter. We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist.

Safeguarding statement

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.

Job Title: Senior Building Surveyor (Qualified)
Hours: 35 hours (full time)
Location: ISHA, 102 Blackstock Road, Finsbury Park, N4 2DR
Salary: £56,195 per annum
Contract: Permanent

This role is based at our Head Office but there is some flexibility to work in a hybrid way if preferred.

Requirements

Are you a qualified Building Surveyor who cares as much about people as you do about properties? Do you believe that everyone deserves a safe, warm, and well-maintained home? If so, you might be just the person we need. We’re on the lookout for a Senior Building Surveyor who's ready to roll up their sleeves, dive into projects, and a person who enjoys collaborating with colleagues.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a qualitied Surveyor to join our Assets and Repairs Team that makes up one element of the wider Housing and Neighbourhoods directorate. The team is led by an Assets and Repairs Manager with a small team of Repairs and Maintenance Advisers, a Disrepair Coordinator, two Surveyors and a Senior Building Surveyor. Whilst we may be small, we’re perfectly formed.

It’s an interesting and varied role for someone with a passion for keeping homes safe, decent, and future-proof—whether that means identifying structural issues, managing planned maintenance, or working with residents to make sure they feel heard and respected. It’s important to us that you’re someone who keeps residents, and their homes, at the heart of your work.

There’s a lot of positive changes happening at ISHA, and within our team, so now is a great time to join so you can be involved, have influence over those changes, and see the beneficial impact they will have over the next 12 months. There are plenty of opportunities for you to shape this into a role you’ll love.

This role will suit you if you have an eye for detail, a head for problem-solving, and ideally, a sense of humour—because we promise there will be blocked drains, pressing deadlines for report submissions, and occasional out of hours work to deal with resident emergencies. You need to be ready for anything, which means working flexibility to find solutions, alongside facilitating the delivery of excellent repairs, voids and planned works. 

We’re not just looking for a surveyor. We’re looking for someone who sees the bigger picture—and wants to be part of it.

Some key responsibilities include:

• Supporting Building Surveyors with problematic jobs to ensure a successful outcome.
• Ownership and responsibility for service-related complaints, disrepair cases or queries from customers ensuring that the customer experience is positive, professional and within set timescales.
• Authorising works and approve payments ensuring suppliers are paid in accordance with terms of contracts. Resolve disputes and queries promptly and ensure ISHA’s interests are always protected.
• Carrying out post-works inspections on a proportion of completed works to assess quality of work, value for money and tenant satisfaction.

Don’t feel you meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that some candidates are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single requirement. At ISHA, we are dedicated to building an inclusive workforce, so if you’re excited by this role but your experience doesn’t quite align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You just might be the right candidate for this, or other roles, because of your transferable skills.

About ISHA

We are a small but ambitious housing association at a critical juncture. Our ambition is for the communities we are anchored in and exist to serve, and we have done and achieved much over the past few years. But in these challenging times we know we’ll achieve nothing unless we are equally ambitious for own our people.

Our values are at the heart of who we are and everything we do, inspiring our thinking and guiding our actions. We strive to build a more diverse organisation, where everyone feels empowered to bring, and be, their best self to work.

We can’t be a brilliant landlord if we don’t partner with brilliant colleagues. Could you be one of them and be trusted to make the difference?

If this sounds exciting, we want you on our team. Please do apply.

Staff Benefits

We’ll offer you a generous pension scheme (up to 10% employer matched contributions and a death in service benefit), 29 days annual leave (increasing after five years’ service), eye care vouchers, a cycle to work scheme and other great benefits (see attached). We have an evolving wellbeing offer, that is being developed following employee feedback, and we will invest in your professional development with on-going training and career development opportunities.

Inclusion and Diversity

We want ISHA to be a great place to work and to ensure that our communities are represented across our workforce. A vital part of this is ensuring we are a truly inclusive organisation that encourages diversity in all respects, including diversity of thinking. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian and those of Other Ethnicities, LGBTQ+, disabled and neurodiverse communities to make a real difference to our residents so that passionate commitment to customers, respect for everyone, pride in Team ISHA and trusted to make the difference remains at the heart of everything we do.

Deadline: 12:00pm 25 August 2025
