Charity Shelter is advertising for the post of ‘Assistant Director: Activism and Advocacy’ - with the postholder charged with supporting “ the development of high-profile campaigns” and having to possess “excellent political instincts.”
It’s a 37.5 hours per week job, which can be worked at home or in Shelter’s office or in a combination of the two - and the salary is a hefty £78,414 per year.
The charity has been sharply critical in recent years of landlords, including those buy to let operators who have only one or two properties and who rely on rental income either solely, or to supplement a pension.
The advertisement says the post is “part of the Communications, Policy, and Campaigns (CPC) team, which drives Shelter's ground-breaking campaigning efforts.
The CPC team leads initiatives advocating for social housing, renters' rights, and ending the housing emergency. As our Assistant Director Activism & Advocacy, you'll work alongside other Assistant Directors, contributing to a collaborative, non-hierarchical decision-making environment.”
Applicants - who have until late on May 27 to submit their CVs - are expected to provide a supporting statement which includes and “outline [of] how you would integrate anti-racism and equity principles into your leadership approach within the context of driving strategic change and delivering impactful activism and advocacy initiatives.”
