We\'re looking for a positive and enthusiastic individual who is passionate about our cause and looking to develop a career in planning and/or project management, to join us as a Senior Planning and Project Executive and play a vital role at the heart of our award-winning Income Generation team.

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 role

This role sits within our Planning & Improvement Team. Part of our Income Generation Directorate, the P&I team is the glue that binds together all income generation appeals, activities and products. A key focus of the role will be to help deliver one of our main fundraising moments - the Winter Fundraising campaign. A key income generator for Shelter, it brings together many departments and reaches almost everyone in the organisation. It also consists of a broad range of public facing activity, including an advertising campaign, direct marketing fundraising appeal, events and corporate partner activation, all of which is amplified by press and social media. We want to give you the scope to grow into an accomplished Project Manager so you\'ll get to learn more about project management tools and processes, run your own smaller-scale projects from start to finish, work with a range of stakeholders and provide much needed admin and finance management support. In short, it will be a really great learning ground.

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

You\'ll need to be proactive, well-organised, never happier than when busy and genuinely keen to learn. There\'s a lot to do, particularly in your first few months when you are still learning as well as delivering your role, so it\'s important to be able to manage your time effectively. You\'ll be working with lots of different people so you\'ll need to be able to build positive relationships. The team has a really positive, collective attitude to helping you do this and they will be there to support you all the way.

How to apply

Please submit your CV along with a supporting statement. In the supporting statement, please give relevant examples in line with the role responsibilities of how you meet the criteria in the \'About you\' section of the job description, following the STAR format. Please also demonstrate how you address these two behaviours below in your answers:

• We learn from our experiences and are open to risk

Benefits

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, full support and training, 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.
