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 team
Part of our hugely successful Income Generation division, Shelter’s Community Fundraising team is a new team that has rapidly grown in 2020/21 from 4 to 12 Regional Fundraisers and a central team of 7. Community Fundraising is a key part of Shelter’s long-term fundraising strategy and investment is being made available to fund it. In April 2020 we appointed the first Head of Community Fundraising to grow the team and develop the strategy for local and national community fundraising at Shelter and Shelter Scotland. This continues to be backed by the organisation as Community Fundraising is central or our organisational and income generation strategy.

Working in the best interests of the charity by contributing to wider fundraising teams' goals whenever possible will be important too. Put simply, you’ll do everything you can to generate more income and attract new long-term supporters.
 
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
To succeed, you’ll need an understanding of community fundraising, experience of working on a CRM database and a proven track record of meeting and exceeding financial targets.  You’ll also need experience of developing and implementing innovative ways of engaging supporters and are confident working with volunteers.

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.
