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, bestinclass 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 antiracist organisation.

About the Team:


  • We recently launched a new 3year 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. The project aims to improve and challenge financial resilience by delivering specialist advice and interventions and gaining evidence and insight into the issues.
    About the role:
  • You'll be responsible for providing money and debt advice, advocacy and casework to clients, focusing on homelessness prevention and financial resilience. We'll also rely on you to devise a programme of housing and financial health/resilience workshops, and to deliver these to a variety of audiences, including clients and their families, local professionals and volunteers.
  • You will act as a leader within the project and the wider Communities Team to help deliver and evidence our strategy at an operational level. We will count on you to line manage, supervise, coach and mentor a housing rights worker.

  • 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.
