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, 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 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 antiracist organisation.

About the team:

You'll be joining a brandnew team that brings together existing support functions in monitoring, evaluation and learning brand and audience insight. The team's aim will be to support improved planning and delivery across all of Shelter's service, campaigning and antiracism work by ensuring each of the three disciplines are integrated at each relevant stage. Specifically, the team will be the internal lead to ensure all work to deliver Shelter's strategy is planned and informed by Shelter's brand principles, audience insight and evidence of what works. The team will also routinely track and reflect on progress using good monitoring, evaluation and learning practice. Put simply, this is a great opportunity to join at the start of an exciting new mandate.

About the role:

As Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Officer, we'll rely on you to provide expertise on monitoring, evaluation and learning (with a focus on outcomes and impact) both within the team and across the organisation. You will have your own projects as well as helping the Research and Evaluation Manager with the wider portfolio of work. You'll also be responsible for helping the Research and Evaluation Manager to develop and execute strategic plans for mainstreaming monitoring, evaluation and learning practice, culture, and processes within Shelter. Commissioning evaluation and/or research will be an aspect of the role too, as will managing external evaluation/research contracts when required. And, when it comes to providing general research support within the team and more widely when needed again we'll count on you to deliver.
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:

Used to designing and managing research and/or and evaluation projects using different tools and techniques, you also have a genuine interest in and/or knowledge of housing and homelessness or related social policy issues

Benefits:

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, 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.
