Are you a motivated individual who is interested in campaigns and has a strategic, innovative and creative mindset? Do you want to demonstrate your passion to end the housing emergency? Apply for this role at Shelter as an Assistant Digital Campaigner in our fight for home.
About the role
You will form a part of the Campaigns Team helping to develop and deliver Shelter’s public-facing and supporter campaigns at both a national and local level. In this role, you will help the team execute campaign plans and calls to action which are both in person and online. You will also support the team with administrative tasks and internal communications.
We encourage you to apply if you have good verbal and written communication skills and are looking for an entry-level role, preferably with some background knowledge in campaigning or communications. You’ll need to be curious about how communications are landing with our audiences and be keen to analyse their performance. Above all, showing a passion to make a difference to one of the biggest social issues of our day – ending the housing emergency.
About you
You’re a motivated individual with a keen interest in campaigning, a desire to end the housing emergency and an understanding of political systems across England.
You may have experience of working in a campaigning, communications or similar environment in a paid or voluntary capacity. Your background could involve creating content for social media or email communications, analysing digital communications performance, organising events or planning communications to engage a variety of audiences on different digital channels.
We’re looking for a strategic thinker, with a taste for innovation and bags of creativity too. We need someone who wants to learn about and improve the ways we communicate with our supporters and the public. What’s more, you enjoy seizing opportunities as they arise to play a big part in timely, strategic and inspiring campaigns.
Apply to be part of our team and be the change you want to see in society.
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.
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
As part of our Communications, Policies and Campaigns directorate we have two campaigns teams, Digital Campaigns and Strategy and Organising. This role sits in the Digital Campaigns team.
We lead on mass mobilisation of our supporters, creating digital content to support our campaigns and analysing the performance of that content to improve our communications. We campaign both nationally and locally – supporting community organisers with their digital presence and communications. We create powerful, engaging public campaigns from creating the strategy to finishing the evaluation. Your line manager will be the team’s Senior Campaigns Officer.
