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.

The Connection Coalition (CC) was formed in April 2020 as a response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Anticipating that the nation was at risk of a crisis of disconnection - and a worsening epidemic of loneliness and social isolation - we created a platform for organisations across the country to work collectively to ensure that communities and the country emerge from Covid-19 ready to build and strengthen social relationships.
The past two years have involved growing the membership, supporting them with learning opportunities, and maximising the opportunities to build networks and connections between the members. In the past 12 months we have focussed on testing ideas and capturing our learning which has included listening to our members and better understanding their needs. As a result we have set our intention to move the Connection Coalition from a time-limited project to one we seek to sustain so long as there is a need. That’s where you come in!
As Connection Coalition Manager, you will work closely with our Head of Community Programmes and wider team to help lead and deliver our work supporting organisations who are building connections in communities across the UK. This is an exciting time to join the Foundation, as we develop and embed our new strategy, ensuring the Connection Coalition is integrated in our wider programme of work and well connected with other teams and projects across the Foundation. You’ll achieve this by working collaboratively with the Head of Community Programmes and other Project Managers.
