Flexible location – can be based in any of Shelter’s 12 hubs in England or home based
Are you an effective manager and leader with exemplary project and change management skills gained at a senior leadership level, including the ability to build business and benefit cases and identify, manage and mitigate risk? Then join Shelter as Assistant Director – National and Professional Services and you could soon be playing a vital role in ensuring our contracts and professional services run smoothly.
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. As an Assistant Director, you’ll also be part of a Services Leadership Team that reports to the Director of Services and forms part of our Revolution group - a team of some 20 staff responsible for the stewardship of our strategic goals.
