Are you collaborative, flexible, diplomatic and assertive, with effective management and leadership skills, a current practising certificate and proven PQE as a Solicitor? Then join Shelter as Assistant Director – Legal Services and you could soon be playing a vital leadership role at the heart of our Legal Services team..

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.

Shelter’s services provide the support that can be the difference between someone keeping or losing their home. Our Services directorate is the largest in Shelter, with some 700 staff plus volunteers, operating in 12 hubs, 21 courts, 19 prisons, and many other community locations. Our Legal Services teams not only help individuals to keep their homes, they also use the law to achieve social change through strategic litigation.

Strong influencing and negotiation skills are essential too, as is the ability to motivate and develop others.

Used to working in a matrix management environment, identifying, managing and mitigating risk and ensuring compliance is promoted and fully considered at all stages of planning and delivery also comes naturally to 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.
