The Environmental Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts
For more than 30 years, Pew has been a major force in engaging the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world's most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural ecosystems that contain a great part of the world's remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment. Pew's global environmental program focuses on science-based, nonpartisan, and sustainable solutions to help protect the planet and people. We work in partnership with governments, Indigenous rights holders, intergovernmental organizations, non-governmental organizations, local stakeholders, scientists, and other researchers to advance public policy so that nature and communities can thrive.
Since 1990, Pew has worked in North America, South America and Australia to protect large and critically important terrestrial ecosystems, including rivers and other freshwater resources, coastal temperate rainforests, interior mountain ranges, the northern boreal forests, Australia's Outback, and Chilean Patagonia. We work to ensure these natural systems remain bountiful, functioning, and resilient, providing essential ecological services such as clean air and clean water, sustenance and food security for local communities and more broadly for the welfare of current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, sociology, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable solutions to the loss of biodiversity.
In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Starting in 2005, Pew's ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating large scale marine reserves around the world. Our work is grounded in the best available science and pursues domestic and international conservation measures that are long-term and provide permanent, durable protections for marine ecosystems. We also work to address systemic threats to the ocean, including from plastics, over-and-illegal fishing, seabed mining, and climate change.
International Fisheries
Pew's international fisheries work aims to protect marine biodiversity and provide food and livelihoods for a growing population by addressing in specific, targeted contexts one of the ocean's main threats-inadequate management and control of large-scale fishing activities. Organized into three projects, our main areas of work include: the advancement of precautionary harvest strategies and effective compliance regimes for international fisheries (RFMO Policy); improved policies and actions aimed at ending illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing (Ending Illegal Fishing); and the advancement of ecosystem considerations in the management of fisheries (Ecosystem Conservation).

Do you have a good understanding of how lived experience of bad housing or homelessness can impact an individual, plus a real desire and proven ability to help individuals to share their feedback, stories and experiences so that we can better help them in the future?
Then join Shelter as an Involvement Officer and you could soon be playing a vital role within a brand new project that aims to reach more people at risk of losing their homes and work with communities before they reach crisis point.
About the role
Your role will involve planning and delivering a programme of involvement activities with the aim of ensuring the views and experiences of individuals with lived experience of bad housing or homelessness informs all of Shelter’s work. We will also rely on you to deliver involvement activities across the organisation which will shape the ongoing design, delivery and governance of our work.
People with lived experience will be involved in a variety of ways too, including involvement groups, taking part in events within local communities, co-designing services and campaigns, sharing stories and speaking out about the housing emergency. You will work closely alongside people with lived experience to influence and steer the direction of Shelter’s work, so that lived experience informs everything we do.
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
To succeed, you will ideally need some experience of facilitating involvement groups and other activities in order to involve people with lived experience in Shelter’s work while ensuring a safe and inclusive space where everybody can contribute. You will have a good understanding of how lived experience of housing problems can impact people and be able to support them to talk about their experiences.
The ability to plan and co-ordinate involvement activities with local teams and have several activities running during the same time period, is important too, as is a flair for developing successful relationships with colleagues across a large organisation, as well as with local organisations and partners.

About the team
We have launched a new 3-year project with a leading UK Bank which aims to help more than 3,000 people at risk of losing their home during the cost of living crisis and build financial resilience in local communities to help prevent homelessness.
Every day Shelter’s frontline services hear from people who are really struggling and don’t know how they’re going to pay their rent or put food on their table. Our ambition is to do more to stop people from becoming homeless in the first place by working with them before they reach crisis point.
About Shelter

Yet millions of people across Britain struggle on a daily basis with homelessness, bad housing conditions, soaring rents, discrimination and the threat of eviction.

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’re on the look out for a new member of our team, a new member of our Executive Team, and someone that is going to be part a key part of this inspirational organisation, We Are Survivors.
Could you be our new Criminal Justice Services Director?
Are you the person that wants to lead an amazing team of therapists working both outside in the community and inside prison and secure settings?
Do you want to inspire a team of ISVAs, the first male focused ISVA team in the UK to do more for those victims/survivors in the criminal justice process as the system across England and Wales is straining?
Do you, like us, think that every person has the capacity to create change and so want to be part of an organisation that is not only ground breaking but now the largest male victim/survivor organisation in the UK?
The Criminal Justice Services Directorate is an incredibly important part of our organisation, delivering services in the community and in secure settings including Prisons, with a range of individuals and groups that have all been impacted by sexual harms (including sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation, or boys and men) alongside the impact on their families and friends.
Over the past 15+ years we have grown as an organisation, both physically and metaphorically, and we’re now supporting approximately 2,500 male survivors every single year across all our services in the Community Services Directorate and the Criminal Justice Services Directorate. The current state of the criminal justice system, the difficulties in the mental health system, the cost of living and other societal pressures will make the next few years both challenging and fascinating and you could get to help shape our local and regional response, along with influencing the national discussion on tackling sexual and domestic abuse, gender-based violence, and the ever-growing prison population.
This role is one that will give you the opportunity to use your:
- strategic planning skills;
- systems leadership experience;
- people management and influencing; and
- governance and performance leadership.
You’ll work with the Community Services Director and the Operations Director, and alongside the Deputy Chief Executive Officer to be part of the Executive Leadership team; whilst supporting and working with the Chief Executive Officer to ensure we make our vision a reality.
Thank you!
