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
A key part of a broader Communications, Policy and Campaigns division, our media team serves the media needs of the whole organisation. Collaboration and relationship building skills are the name of the game, as we work closely with a broad range of internal stakeholders and external partners to generate influential coverage across Shelter’s campaigns, fundraising, community and services outputs. Our aim is to make sure housing and homelessness rides high on the political and public agenda through timely and powerful storytelling. We help Shelter to deliver change by amplifying our hard-hitting research, giving a platform to people directly impacted by the housing emergency, profiling our incredible services, capitalising on high-profile supporters and partnerships, and by swiftly seizing reactive opportunities.
About the role
If you care about storytelling, are a great team player and want to end the housing emergency, this unique opportunity to join a fast paced and high performing team with a heritage of ground-breaking campaigns is the job for you.
This senior media officer position is an exciting role that’s been created in partnership with our High Value Partnerships team to help boost the media cut through and support the smooth running of our partnerships with big brand names like Ikea, HSBC, B&Q and Marks & Spencer. It is a new role that you will have the opportunity to mould within a supportive framework and team.
But you won’t just work closely with our corporate partners and internal income generating teams, you will also have the chance to flex your skills and get stuck into a whole range of media activities that drive forward our organisational strategy. You’ll also play a big part in the day to day running of a busy press office, get to matrix manage high profile projects, and deputise for the Media Managers as necessary.
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 and results driven, you have extensive knowledge of media across print, online and broadcast channels, as well as the different tools and tactics in the PR toolbox. You know what makes something newsworthy and how to land high-impact coverage, and , you’re great at translating research and information into pithy soundbites and key messages suitable for public audiences. What’s more you’re used to thinking on your feet and working under pressure to meet tight deadlines.
A knack for building rapport and relationships with lots of different people is essential too, as is the enthusiasm, expertise, and collaborative approach to work that can help to upskill other teams to better understand and utilise the media to meet our shared goals. Crucially, you have a keen grasp of what journalists and producers are looking for and are as comfortable speaking to a consumer journalist, as you are the policy editor of the Times– and you will know how to tailor your pitch accordingly.
Adept at managing your own time and projects, and happy to contribute new ideas and try different approaches, you also know what it takes to support, enable and motivate others. Your keen eye for risks and opportunities, and strong attention to detail will help ensure your team and colleagues deliver to a high standard. Finally, while prior knowledge of housing and homelessness is not a requirement, you must have a passion for social justice. There’s a huge amount we need to achieve together, and you’ll need to thrive on this challenge.
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.

About Us
Our host organization are a federated movement of 46 charities, supported by a central charity, the Royal Society of Wildlife Trusts. Together they have 870,000 members, 38,000 volunteers and 3,400 staff across the UK. They are at an exciting moment in their 110-year history, with the development of an ambitious new strategy, setting out a vision of nature in recovery, with abundant, diverse wildlife and natural processes creating wilder landscapes where people and nature thrive.
Collectively, The Wildlife Trusts have more than 900,000 members, employ 3,500 staff, look after over 2,300 nature reserves, operate 123 visitor and education centres and own 29 working farms. They undertake research, they stand up for wildlife and wild places under threat, and they help people access nature.
The next few years will be critical in determining what kind of world we will all live in. We need to reverse the loss of wildlife and put nature into recovery at scale as a matter of urgency if we are to prevent climate and ecological disaster. This will require big, bold changes in the way we think and operate, and the development of a strong, collaborative culture. It will require key stakeholders and the public to take action for nature’s recovery.
About You
Can you use your expert media relations and proven line management skills to help put nature into recovery with one of the UK’s best-loved environmental charities?
The Trusts’ small, but brilliant national media team creates billions of opportunities to ‘see’ their work in print, radio, online and on screen each year: from their commentary on Government policy to stories about their work on the ground, our interviews, quotes, videos and press releases are used in national and international stories as varied as action on peat to whale sightings. They regularly appear on BBC Countryfile, Springwatch and BBC Radio 4’s Today programme, as well as in international media such as National Geographic, Times of India and Washington Post. In 2023 alone, the team achieved c.43,000 appearances in the national media and a reach of over 530 billion opportunities to see. This coverage ensured that thry remain at the heart of the national conversation on why they need nature.
But they’re not standing still because the nature and climate crises demand greater and more urgent action. They’re therefore looking for a resourceful and strategic thinker who can exploit new opportunities for The Trusts to continue to raise their profile and use their communications to drive greater awareness of and engagement with the things that need to happen to turn things round.
This is a senior role and they’re looking for an experienced media manager with an excellent track record in media relations for high profile organisations, who can confidently deal with high-profile reactive media as well as developing and delivering evidence-based creative, innovative media strategies. You will be leading a small media team, so line management experience is essential to ensure the consistent delivery of high-profile, high-impact media activity, supervising the team’s research, writing and editing. Working alongside the Head of Media you will build an environment where your team can continuously develop to be their best and have space to innovate and find new channels to reach broader audiences with our messages. In particular, they are keen to do more to highlight the role of people power (community organising) in nature’s recovery.
You will have significant previous experience of generating compelling news stories and features, and ideally you will have been involved in publicising policy and campaigns. There is never a dull moment and you will need to thrive working in an extremely fast-paced environment where organisational skills, prioritisation and attention to detail are a must.
The Trusts value passion, respect, trust, integrity, pragmatic activism and strength in diversity. Whilst they are passionate in promoting their aims, they are not judgemental and are inclusive. They particularly encourage applications from people who are underrepresented within their sector, including people from minority backgrounds and people with disabilities.

Ein Gweledigaeth yw Cymru lle mae hawl pawb i iechyd a lles da yn cael ei pharchu a’i gwireddu, gyda phawb yn gallu cael gafael ar y gofal iechyd sydd ei angen arnynt, pan fydd ei angen arnynt, heb rwystrau.
Mae rôl y Cydlynydd Elusen yn un newydd i FTWW. Bydd ein hymgeisydd llwyddiannus yn hapus i ymuno â thîm bychan, ymroddedig, sy’n cefnogi staff, gwirfoddolwyr ac ymddiriedolwyr presennol gyda’r gwaith o weinyddu’r elusen. Byddwch yn allweddol i ddatblygu polisïau a phrosesau a fydd yn sicrhau bod y mudiad yn cael ei reoli’n effeithiol ac yn effeithlon yn y dyfodol.
Rydym yn croesawu’n arbennig geisiadau gan y rheini sy’n anabl, sy’n byw gyda phroblemau iechyd tymor hir neu sydd â phrofiad o broblemau o’r fath.
I wneud cais, gofynnwn yn garedig am CV cyfredol a datganiad ategol. Yn eich datganiad, dylech egluro pam rydych chi’n meddwl y byddech chi’n addas ar gyfer FTWW a beth fyddech chi’n ei gyflwyno i’n tîm wrth i’r mudiad dyfu. Byddwn hefyd yn gofyn i ymgeiswyr sydd ar y rhestr fer roi manylion cyswllt dau ganolwr.
Y dyddiad cau ar gyfer derbyn ceisiadau yw dydd Iau 1 Awst 2024 am 5pm. Cynhelir cyfweliadau dros Microsoft Teams ddydd Mawrth 13 Awst neu o gwmpas y dyddiad hwnnw, gyda golwg ar ddechrau’r rôl cyn gynted â phosibl ar ôl hynny.
