Please note however semi-regular travel to Shelter's London office (EC1) is expected. Contract Type: Permanent Closing Date: 1st February 2024. Do you have razor sharp news sense, a flair for storytelling, experience of working in PR or as a journalist and a real desire to play your part in bringing positive change to one of the country's biggest social issues? Then join Shelter as Media Manager and you could soon be playing a linchpin role in our fight to end the housing emergency. 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 Operating in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, our media team responds to emerging news stories in a politically charged environment. Sometimes that means pulling a group of key stakeholders together and getting our message out the door within the hour. But the team also generates their own engaging and attention-grabbing headlines through our proactive campaigns and big brand moments. Our work needs to be top-notch because Shelter's reputation is at stake. But despite the profile and speed of our work, we're a really friendly, open team where your input, ideas and questions will always be welcomed. A place where you needn't be afraid to put your point across or challenge the status quo. We've achieved some great results too, with our most recent campaign successes including the Social Housing Regulation Act becoming law, persuading the government to unfreeze Housing from April 2024, meaning more families can afford their rent, and last but not least pushing forward the Renters (Reform) Bill, ensuring it is as strong as possible to protect renters as it passes through Parliament. In short, no matter what we're faced with, we get things done. About the role This is your opportunity to play a big part in the day-to-day running of our busy press office, and a central role in developing both proactive and reactive media strands. As well as engaging with senior management and journalists on a daily basis, we'll rely on you to deputise for the Head of Media when needed, and to provide invaluable support on reputational and crisis communications. Planning strategically vital campaigns, acting as reputational gatekeeper, and contributing to the management and ongoing development of the media team - are just some aspects of this challenging, high reward role that will see you thrive. 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 Creative, results driven, and politically savvy, you are comfortable with leading change and initiating action even under difficult circumstances.

Hours: 37.5 hours per week Leave: 30 days holiday per annum plus bank holidays Location: Shelter provides flexibility to allow home based, office based, or a combination of the two. Please note however semi-regular travel to Shelter's London office (EC1) is expected. Contract Type: Permanent Closing Date: 1st February 2024. Do you have razor sharp news sense, a flair for storytelling, experience of working in PR or as a journalist and a real desire to play your part in bringing positive change to one of the country's biggest social issues? Then join Shelter as Media Manager and you could soon be playing a linchpin role in our fight to end the housing emergency. 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 Operating in a fast-paced, dynamic environment, our media team responds to emerging news stories in a politically charged environment. Sometimes that means pulling a group of key stakeholders together and getting our message out the door within the hour. But the team also generates their own engaging and attention-grabbing headlines through our proactive campaigns and big brand moments. Our work needs to be top-notch because Shelter's reputation is at stake. But despite the profile and speed of our work, we're a really friendly, open team where your input, ideas and questions will always be welcomed. A place where you needn't be afraid to put your point across or challenge the status quo. We've achieved some great results too, with our most recent campaign successes including the Social Housing Regulation Act becoming law, persuading the government to unfreeze Housing from April 2024, meaning more families can afford their rent, and last but not least pushing forward the Renters (Reform) Bill, ensuring it is as strong as possible to protect renters as it passes through Parliament. In short, no matter what we're faced with, we get things done. About the role This is your opportunity to play a big part in the day-to-day running of our busy press office, and a central role in developing both proactive and reactive media strands. As well as engaging with senior management and journalists on a daily basis, we'll rely on you to deputise for the Head of Media when needed, and to provide invaluable support on reputational and crisis communications. Planning strategically vital campaigns, acting as reputational gatekeeper, and contributing to the management and ongoing development of the media team - are just some aspects of this challenging, high reward role that will see you thrive.
