About the Team

We recently launched a new 3-year partnership with a leading UK bank, with a strategy centred on building the UK’s financial resilience. Together we aim to break the vicious cycles that leave people with poor financial health which may negatively impact their housing situation; through Shelter’s emergency services, piloting new programmes to challenge unfair systems, and empowering communities with their rights. In short, the project aims to improve and challenge financial resilience by delivering specialist advice and intervention and gaining evidence and insight into the issue.

About the role

This particular role will involve engaging with people with lived experience of homelessness and delivering and overseeing money and debt advice, advocacy and casework to clients, including tailored interventions, homelessness prevention and financial resilience. We’ll also rely on you to deliver housing and financial health/resilience workshops to clients and their families and provide support, training and rights awareness sessions to local professionals and volunteers. Co-producing and co-delivering responses to the community experience of the housing emergency will be an important aspect of the role too, as will acting as a leader within the communities team to help deliver our strategy at an operational. And, when it comes to line managing, supervising, coaching and mentoring a housing rights worker, again, we’ll count on you.

About you

Already with some relevant experience, you’re used to working with a range of internal and external stakeholders, have great time management skills and enjoy collaborating with people from other teams and organisations. What’s more, you’re adept at planning and managing pieces of work to challenge practice and effect change and not afraid to hold people to account. A flair for leading and motivating others and presenting information and arguments in a clear and compelling way is essential too, as is an enthusiasm for delivering workshops and presentations. Crucially, you have what it takes to listen to, engage and empower individuals and communities, gather evidence and identify insights, issues and trends, while proficiency using IT like Word, Excel, email, internet and in-house CRM systems is also required.

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.

Then join Shelter Scotland as a Housing Rights Worker and you could soon be playing an important role in helping to build the financial resilience of people in Scotland with poor financial health.

About Shelter Scotland

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet over a million people in Scotland 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 Scotland 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 Scotland and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

About the Team

We recently launched a new 3-year partnership with a leading UK bank, with a strategy centred on building the UK’s financial resilience. Together we aim to break the vicious cycles that leave people with poor financial health which may negatively impact their housing situation; through Shelter’s emergency services, piloting new programmes to challenge unfair systems, and empowering communities with their rights. In short, the project aims to improve and challenge financial resilience by delivering specialist advice and intervention and gaining evidence and insight into the issue.

About the role

As a Housing Rights Worker, you’ll be responsible for providing money and debt advice, advocacy and casework to clients, including tailored interventions, homelessness prevention and financial resilience. We’ll also rely on you to deliver housing and financial health/resilience workshops to clients and their families, provide support, training and rights awareness sessions to local professionals and volunteers and co-produce and co-deliver responses to the community experience of the housing emergency. Establishing and developing relationships with communities - including people with lived experience of homelessness - recording stories data and evidence and using insights to actively contribute to interventions, change themes and Shelter’s strategic aims – all are aspects of this interesting and varied role.

About you

To succeed, you’ll need to be used to working with, and influencing, a range of internal and external stakeholders and enjoy collaborating with people from other teams and organisations. You’ll also need great time management skills, an enthusiasm for delivering workshops and presentations and a willingness to challenge practice and hold people to account. Adept at engaging with, listening to and empowering individuals and communities, you enjoy nothing more than gathering evidence and identifying insights, issues and trends. What’s more, you present information and arguments in a clear and compelling way and have excellent problem solving skills. Proficiency using IT like Word, Excel, email, internet and in-house CRM systems is also required.

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.

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

Part of our Equity, Inclusion & Culture Directorate, the Volunteering team is passionate about the positive impacts of volunteering for both individuals and organisations. Collaborative and supportive, we believe that volunteers are a vital part of our growing movement for change. Right now, we’re busy building a new Corporate Volunteering Team that sits within the wider Volunteering Team. We work closely with our High Value Partnerships team, which is responsible for generating income through partnerships with corporate organisations. Successes to date include developing and extending long-term, sector-leading partnerships with companies including HSBC UK, B&Q, M&S and Network Rail across England and Scotland. This is your opportunity to be part of our future success.

About the role

As a Corporate Volunteering Experience Officer, you’ll be instrumental in ensuring a quality corporate volunteering experience that equips volunteers and connects them with our cause. Day-to-day, you’ll be responsible for cohesively managing corporate volunteering journeys so that each volunteer is enabled to deliver. Indeed, we’ll rely on you to manage all resources and communications that directly support the corporate volunteer experience, including training delivery. That will involve managing a planned approach to updating and improving resources, as well as developing new resources and methods of engaging with volunteers. And, with an exciting expansion of our partnership with HSBC accompanied by ambitious volunteer engagement plans, you’ll be key to putting a training programme in place for HSBC volunteers too. Supporting an innovative volunteer mentoring offer, managing the recruitment, onboarding and ongoing support of volunteer mentors and developing and expanding mentoring opportunities – all are part of this exciting new role.

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.

About you

To succeed, you’ll need a background in supporting the implementation of best practice approaches to volunteering, particularly in volunteer induction, engagement, communication and learning and development. You’ll also need experience of designing and developing learning content, planning and delivering presentations and facilitating training and workshops. Confident and creative using a range of communication methods, you’re used to using the written word to engage audiences across different comms platforms too. What’s more, you have a proven ability to plan and coordinate projects and prioritise your workload, plus an innovative, solutions-focussed approach. You’re also comfortable working both on your own initiative and collaboratively and have the proficiency using Microsoft Office applications it takes to create engaging resources.

We understand that job security is a top concern for many people when considering their next career move. That's why we want to make sure that you know the full extent of the benefits that come with this fixed-term contract.

Although the contract offered currently has a set end date, we are committed to providing our employees with the same level of support and benefits that we offer our permanent staff. This includes access to training and development opportunities, a competitive salary and benefits package, and a supportive and inclusive work environment. Furthermore, you would be eligible for internal redeployment opportunities should the contract not be extended beyond its end date.

In fact, we are proud to say that our fixed-term employees often take advantage of the opportunity to gain valuable experience and build their skills in a dynamic and fast-paced environment. We are committed to helping our team members succeed and grow, and we believe that this commitment extends to all of our employees, regardless of their length of tenure.

So, if you're looking for a role that offers the benefits and support of a permanent position, along with the excitement and opportunity of a fixed-term contract, we encourage you to apply.

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.

About the team

Part of our Equity, Inclusion & Culture Directorate, the Volunteering team is passionate about the positive impacts of volunteering for both individuals and organisations. Collaborative and supportive, we believe that volunteers are a vital part of our growing movement for change. That’s why we engage more than 2,000 volunteers in our shops, Hubs and local communities.

About the role

Leading on the development of our volunteering offer, practice and culture within our communities teams, including Community Services, Community Fundraising and Campaigning, in Shelter and Shelter Scotland, is the challenge that awaits you here. You will lead a team of Volunteer Coordinators and will be responsible for shaping and inspiring your team. Day-to-day, we’ll rely on you to develop new ways for people to give their time and deliver our goals of tackling the root causes of homelessness and creating change for individuals experiencing housing issues. You’ll also need to build influential relationships with leadership teams and other key stakeholders, as together you design and plan involvement of volunteers and embed approaches to volunteering.

Well organised and great at influencing, negotiating and forging productive relationships with a range of stakeholders, you’re confident and creative when using a range of communication methods too. What’s more, you’re as comfortable planning and delivering engaging presentations and designing and developing learning content as you are monitoring and evaluating work or analysing data to ensure innovation and development is driven by insight.

About the Team

Our Communications and Advocacy department promotes the Shelter Scotland brand and leads our policy advocacy, public campaigning and digital communications to achieve change for people who don’t have a safe, secure or affordable home.

About the team

Part of our Communications and Advocacy directorate, the Scottish Empty Homes Partnership (SEHP) is funded by Scottish Government and hosted by Shelter Scotland. Our aim is to bring as many privately-owned empty homes back into use (as social and affordable homes where possible), by meeting a number of key strategic objectives.

About the team

Part of our Communications and Advocacy directorate, the Scottish Empty Homes Partnership (SEHP) is funded by Scottish Government and hosted by Shelter Scotland. Our aim is to bring as many privately-owned empty homes back into use (as social and affordable homes where possible), by meeting a number of key strategic objectives. These include encouraging every council to mainstream empty homes work, encouraging registered social landlords, community groups and other private bodies to engage in empty homes work and delivering a Scottish Empty Homes Advice Service.

About the role

As part of a Housing to 2040 paper published in 2021, the Scottish Government is committed to carrying out an audit of empty homes across Scotland. Accordingly, the main focus of this role will be to work with colleagues in the SEHP to support delivery of that audit. But that’s not all. We’re also looking to develop a suite of reports that can help to monitor and assess the performance of the partnership against our key objectives and provide ongoing analysis and insight of empty homes and other related housing data. Your challenge will be to support this in collaboration with our Policy and Projects Manager and others in the team. Assisting with primary data collection, reviewing data storage, playing your part in internal quality assurance procedures and producing bespoke reports – these are just some aspects of this interesting and varied role.

About you

To succeed, you’ll need strong analytical skills, including a flair for interpreting and analysing diverse sources of complex information at pace. You’ll also need to be well-organised, with a proven ability to sort through complex information

and experience of configuring, implementing and maintaining technical reporting solutions using associated Microsoft technologies and SQL databases – Office 365 etc. Proficiency using tools and languages such as Excel and Power BI is important too, as are the communication skills required to produce high-quality written reports, data visualisation and presentations, plus experience of presenting your findings to groups.

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 Scotland helps over half a million 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.

Yet over a million people in Scotland 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

Community & Events is made up of Community Fundraising, Challenge & Bespoke Events and Culture, Entertainment & Sports sub-teams. Together, we look after a wide variety of fundraising activities that encourage supporters to raise money and provide them with excellent support to do so. We’ve made a significant investment in Community Fundraising to grow the team from five in 2019 to 24 currently, despite the pandemic. That’s because increasing engagement in local communities is a central part of both our fundraising and organisational strategy. We now have 12 Regional Fundraisers across England and Scotland; a central Community Fundraising National Relationships team and a robust and supportive management team which, should you join us, you’ll be part of.

About the role

An exciting opportunity with lots of existing and new avenues to explore, you’ll have every chance to really make your mark. That’s because, we have a strategy in place, but there’s still lots to do - and you‘ll be key in developing what we do and how we do it, as well as leading direct reports and the wider team to deliver on your plans. One of your main challenges will be to develop an overarching Community Fundraising team strategy to ensure a clear plan of projected growth and agreed objectives over the next five years. We’ll also look to you to significantly increase Community Fundraising income by enabling the team to proactively engage key audiences and improve the supporter stewardship experience. Creating and delivering an annual budget, taking the lead role for key income streams or activities, helping to create new fundraising products and engaging and influencing key stakeholders – these are just some aspects of this interesting, varied and vital role.

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.

About you

To succeed, you’ll need to be creative, innovative and able to learn from failure as much as from success. The opportunity to lead, support, coach and empower a team to get out there and achieve success really appeals to you too. You’re also a great believer in putting the supporter experience at the heart of everything you do and eager to engage new and diverse audiences and build authentic relationships – both externally and internally. Adept at influencing and negotiating and great at carrying out detailed analysis or making data-driven decisions, you’re also resilient and, crucially, keen to create a strong, supportive and aspirational culture where the team are motivated by exceeding targets.

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.

About the team

Part of our hugely successful Income Generation division, Shelter’s Community Fundraising team is a new team that has rapidly grown in 2020/21 from 4 to 12 Regional Fundraisers and a central team of 7. Community Fundraising is a key part of Shelter’s long-term fundraising strategy and investment is being made available to fund it. In April 2020 we appointed the first Head of Community Fundraising to grow the team and develop the strategy for local and national community fundraising at Shelter and Shelter Scotland. This continues to be backed by the organisation as Community Fundraising is central or our organisational and income generation strategy.

About the role

Developing and implementing the community fundraising strategy in Edinburgh and the East of Scotland is just one of the challenges we’ll expect you to rise to in this role. This will involve focusing on our key audiences of individuals, community organisations, faith, regional corporates, local trusts, volunteers and building local events for Edinburgh and the East.

You will shape and develop your geographical area and local community to establish a tangible relationship with Shelter & Shelter Scotland and its work to provide a high standard of stewardship to add value to current and new Shelter fundraisers and volunteers.

Working in the best interests of the charity by contributing to wider fundraising teams' goals whenever possible will be important too. Put simply, you’ll do everything you can to generate more income and attract new long-term supporters.

At the moment the Edinburgh Hub is undergoing a refurb so we will be working at home as well as being out and about within our Community, there will be some expectation once the Hub is back open to work from the Hub. Shelter and Shelter Scotland currently have a Ways of Working framework with the Hub going forward, to see what is possible around working at the Hub, being out in the community and working at home.

About you

To succeed, you’ll need an understanding of community fundraising, experience of working on a CRM database and a proven track record of meeting and exceeding financial targets. You’ll also need experience of developing and implementing innovative ways of engaging supporters and are confident working with volunteers. You’re committed to providing excellent customer service in all your interactions and will be a positive ambassador for Shelter & Shelter Scotland. You’re a brilliant communicator written and verbally and you are driven. We are looking for someone who has ambition to grow local events as well as community volunteering groups.

As this role is all about engaging with the community, it does involve some travel around the region so you will need a car or access to a vehicle, for which an essential car user allowance is paid. Due to the nature of the role, sometimes there will be evening and weekend work, which is reimbursed via our TOIL system.

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.

About the team

Shelter Scotland operates four Community Hubs in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen, each offering a range of advice and support services linked to our campaigning, volunteering and fundraising activities. One of those services is Time for Change - our core methodology for the involvement of people with lived experience in our work that has now been embedded across each community hub. Its focus is on identifying issues facing homeless people in their locale and, through involvement and wider consultation, co-producing the design and delivery of a local response to tackle those issues. This is your opportunity to be part of its future.

About the role

As well as supporting the development and delivery of Time for Change in Dundee, we’ll rely on you to support the wider work of the project, including outreach, rights awareness and consultation. You’ll also need to build relationships with individuals with lived experience, help grow a group of peers and provide continuous support and encouragement. Consulting with individuals and stakeholders across the city to determine ‘what better looks like’ will be important too. And, when it comes to developing relationships with relevant external agencies, again, we’ll count on you. Helping to design and develop plans and processes to manage the initiative, collecting and collating service user data and sharing knowledge and information throughout the project – all are part and parcel of this interesting and challenging role.

About you

The success of the project is dependent on assertive outreach, so you’ll need to be a confident individual with great communication skills, who can self-manage and self-motivate. The ability to work with a variety of stakeholders and deal effectively with change is also essential, as is a proactive, client-focused and collaborative approach, great relationship building skills and respect for others’ opinions. Housing and homelessness work experience isn’t essential, but you’ll need to bring a passion for Shelter Scotland’s issues and be willing to learn and gain experience to provide guidance on housing, homelessness, money and debt and welfare benefits.

• Have an interest in learning about evidence-driven strategic planning.
• Have experience of agile planning, demonstrating experience with a range of tools and techniques.

About the role and team

We work together. You'll be expected to lead the team and work with wider teams, on all and any of our projects and products. Sometimes at a moment's notice. That could mean working with Product Owners and Managers, developers, designers, policy specialists, legal teams, senior management - anyone you need to, to produce world-class online products and services.

Rule one is to start with user needs. We create digital products and services that help people solve their housing-related issues. We’re working with users of our online advice services and people across the organisation to make our services and information simpler, clearer, and faster.

About Shelter

A home is a fundamental human need, as essential as education or healthcare. Yet millions of people across Britain struggle daily with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination, and the threat of eviction.

Above all we seek a transformation in housing policy, including investment in homes people on low incomes can actually afford – an investment that has been missing for decades and from all political parties, so that now the human cost has become intolerable.

Shelter has made a specific commitment to becoming an Anti-Racist organisation and seeks to put race equity at its core, not being afraid to identify, challenge and address interpersonal, institutional, and systemic racism.

About the team

We’ve been operating face-to face teams across London and Scotland and in-house D2D teams in London, Manchester, Liverpool and Scotland, since 2004. The in-house team’s focus is on getting quality new supporters and, together with F2F & D2D fundraising, we deliver around 85% of Shelter’s new regular giving supporters. This is your chance to be part of our ongoing success.

About the role

The challenge here will be to ensure high quality fundraising and deliver robust people management to our fundraising staff in the Glasgow region.

Facilitating the first-class management, development and training of the regional team to ensure we retain individuals will be important too, as will producing timely and informative reports when required.

About you.

About the team

Shelter Scotland operates four Community Hubs in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee and Aberdeen, each offering a range of advice and support services linked to our campaigning, volunteering and fundraising activities. One of those services is Time for Change - our core methodology for the involvement of people with lived experience in our work that has now been embedded across each community hub. Its focus is on identifying issues facing homeless people in their locale and, through involvement and wider consultation, co-producing the design and delivery of a local response to tackle those issues. This is your opportunity to be part of its future.

About the role

As well as supporting the development and delivery of Time for Change in Edinburgh, we’ll rely on you to support the wider work of the project, including outreach, rights awareness and consultation. You’ll also need to build relationships with individuals with lived experience, help grow a group of peers and provide continuous support and encouragement.

About you

The ability to work with a variety of stakeholders and deal effectively with change is also essential, as is a proactive, client-focused and collaborative approach, great relationship building skills and respect for others’ opinions.

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.

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.
