Are you an accomplished writer with experience of producing a range of content? Then join Shelter as a Senior Legal Writer/Editor and you could soon be producing vital advice, legal and promotional content for a variety of audiences.

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.

Our Content for Professionals team was formed back in April to transform Shelter’s offering for professionals working with people in housing need. Our team of content producers work together to produce high-quality, user-focused content for a variety of audiences. We also support colleagues within Shelter who provide helpline support and training for professionals. Our products are designed to help advice and services, public authorities and local authorities through trusted resources they can rely on. We’re currently developing our offering to make our services and information simpler, clearer and faster. To do that we need a new member to join our growing team.

About the Role
Your main focus will be on producing a range of advice, legal content and promotional content, mostly for use by Shelter’s professional audiences to be delivered across a variety of mediums. However, you’ll also need to be able to write for the public, keeping up- to-date with the latest developments in housing law and related policy and good practice will be important too, as part of a team that also works with wider teams and organisations. That could mean liaising with other content producers, advisers, lawyers, product managers and owners, developers – anyone, in fact, that you need to, in order to produce first-class resources.

About you
As well as experience of writing and editing high quality, accurate content for online and print publications, .you ideally have an excellent all-round understanding of housing and related law and advice. You should also be comfortable with working with primary materials – legislation, regulations, case law – to help create user friendly content that’s easy to understand. Proactive and enthusiastic, you know how to produce content with a professional user, not a client, in mind first and foremost. What’s more, you’re great at taking complex language and processes and making them easy to understand, are happy to champion user-focused advice and content design and do robust research, and able to explain how you reached your decisions clearly and rationally.

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.

NAZ is looking to recruit an enthusiastic and dynamic individual to use the knowledge and understanding gained through programmatic work with black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) communities to influence local and national sexual health policy.

You will also be a key member of the secretariat for the new ‘Caucus’ coalition of leading thinkers internationally, funded by Gilead. The coalition’s aim is to represent the needs of those communities around the world, particularly BAME, who are not benefitting from the gains in HIV prevention at the same rate as others impacted by the disease.

The role is normally based at NAZ’s office in Hammersmith, London; though is working from home at present.

NAZ is the sexual health charity dedicated to people experiencing better sexual health. We do this because there’s a big gap in the sexual health outcomes of Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities compared to the general population. Everything we do works to reverse this trend.

Our evidence-based interventions are designed to enable those with the greatest risk of poor sexual health outcomes to have fulfilling sexual lives, understand how to access the right local service and ultimately to support better physical, mental and sexual health outcomes.

Due to our delivery of engagement to BAME service users, this post is only open to people with BAME ethnicity or multiple heritage including this ethnicity.
