at our Edinburgh Morningside shop.
About you

interests in merchandising the shop attracting customers and continually develop yours and your team’s knowledge

About Shelter Scotland
Home is a human right. It’s our foundation and where we thrive. Yet everyday millions of people are being devastated
by the housing emergency.
We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything,
We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are

representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement. In all our people
decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, equitable and transparent. We are committed to combating racism
both within and outside Shelter Scotland. We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist.
