Senior bid manager jobs

Closing date: Wednesday 17 August 2022 at 11.30pm

Has your proven experience of working in a safeguarding role given you the confidence to act as a specialist and advise an organisation on complex safeguarding issues? Then join Shelter as our Safeguarding Manager and you could soon be playing a vital role in ensuring we work in the best possible way in the future.

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

The team you’ll be joining sits in a central enabling function within the Strategy Enablement Directorate that provides the support, tools and processes Shelter needs to achieve its strategic aims whilst managing and controlling the risks involved. It also has a mandate to transform the organisation’s systems and processes in order to enable the achievement of Shelter’s strategy. That’s where you come in.

About the role

Your challenge will be to act as the safeguarding specialist for Shelter, overseeing all aspects of safeguarding for service users, colleagues, supporters and campaigners, all those we come into contact with. A vital role that will span the whole organisation across England and Scotland, it will see you work to develop organisational safeguarding practice, improve safeguarding reporting and collaborate with other teams as required to support everyone’s wellbeing. Providing an advisory service for all colleagues on safeguarding issues, leading on the content required and coordinating relevant training and maintaining accurate and up-to-date records of safeguarding concerns and incidents – these are just some aspects of this interesting and varied role.

About you

Comfortable working autonomously and keen to be an organisational expert on safeguarding, you also have the skills required to build a network of safeguarding professionals outside of Shelter. What’s more, you’re able to work in a strategic way - understanding the wider implications of singular issues and using your judgement to adapt approaches when necessary. Confidence in producing clear, informative, engaging and accessible reports that illustrate safeguarding trends and communicating that information clearly to a wide audience is important too. And, if you’re adept at relaying complex information to stakeholders at all levels, including senior leadership, in a variety of formats, delivering training and working effectively with external organisations, we would definitely like to hear from you.

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. 

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.

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.

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

Introduction from our CEO

“The Suzy Lamplugh Trust is the UK’s pioneering personal safety charity and leading stalking authority, established in 1986 following the disappearance of 25-year-old Suzy Lamplugh whilst at work.

The journey of the Trust over its 35-year history has been astounding in its achievements despite being born from the most tragic of circumstances and we work tirelessly to ensure that Suzy’s legacy lives on. However, while we have achieved great things and seen improvements in the support available to victims of stalking and other forms of violence, aggression and abuse, there is so much more to do to reduce incidents of stalking and harassment and ensure the safety of victims across the UK.

The shockingly low conviction rates for stalking leave thousands of victims without the protections they so urgently need to reduce the risks to their physical and mental health. It takes immense courage to come forward to report stalking behaviours which have a devastating impact on victims’ lives, and it is simply not good enough that so many cases fall by the wayside without attaining the justice victims need and want.

Our National Stalking Helpline Advice and Advocacy service offers support and advice to thousands of victims of stalking every year. Caseworkers advocate on victims’ behalf with police, social services and other statutory or victim support agencies.

We are currently seeking an experienced, proactive individual, who can hit the ground running, to provide management and leadership within the National Stalking Helpline and Advocacy Service.

We pride ourselves on our innovative ground-breaking research, campaigns and projects. By working at the Suzy Lamplugh Trust you would be joining a group of highly skilled experts in the field, with fantastic training opportunities in stalking, harassment and personal safety.

Come and join us on our mission to reduce the risk of violence and aggression through campaigning, education and support.

Good luck’’
