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.
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 the team In the Volunteering Team we support the mobilisation of volunteers to deliver Shelter's strategic priorities.
We are a collaborative and supportive team sitting in Shelter's Equity, Inclusion & Culture Directorate.
We are passionate about the positive impacts of volunteering for both individuals and our cause.
We enable best practice approaches to volunteer involvement; ensuring all our volunteers have a quality volunteering experience.
In Corporate Volunteering we develop and deliver volunteering for our corporate partners, and volunteering plays an integral role in both maintaining and winning partnerships.
We work closely with the Corporate Partnerships team, who are responsible for generating income through partnerships with corporate organisations.
They are successful in winning and developing long-term, sector-leading partnerships with companies including HSBC UK, B&Q, and Network Rail across England and Scotland.
Volunteering is an important part of partnerships, enabling us to increase our people power, bring new skills and experiences into Shelter and to increase understanding and support of our fight against the housing emergency.
About Shelter Home is a human right.
It's our foundation and where we thrive.

We exist to defend the right to a safe home.
Because home is everything.
We need ambitious, passionate people to join us.

To win this fight, we must be 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.
We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist.
