About the team

We've seen some incredibly significant changes in Shelter over the past three years, with a radical shift in our organisational strategy and the consequent need to change our ways of working fundamentally. Our Equity, Inclusion and Culture (EI&C) Directorate was formed to help us actively embrace diversity - in people, ideas and actions, with a focus on changing our internal culture and promoting equity. Our Learning and Organisational Development team sit within the EIC directorate.

About Shelter

Home is a human right. It's our foundation and where we thrive. Yet everyday millions of people are being devastated by the housing emergency.

We exist to defend the right to a safe home. Because home is everything.

We need ambitious, passionate people to join us. This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.

Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. To win this fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement. In all our people decisions, we take pride in being inclusive, equitable and transparent. We are committed to combating racism both within and outside Shelter. We welcome you on our journey to becoming truly anti-racist.
