You will work closely with the Senior Brand Marketing Manager, Head of Marketing and many other colleagues across the country on this extremely rewarding project.

About you

We are looking for candidates with impressive communications and marketing backgrounds including experience in three key areas: building and embedding a brand, developing brand guidelines and content, and delivering multi-channel marketing campaigns. To be successful in this role, you will have a great eye for design (layout; typography; appropriate use of imagery) and understand what constitutes good and effective copy.

Most importantly, you will have a friendly, outgoing demeanor, with interpersonal skills strong enough to influence stakeholders and manage relationships with external agencies. You will also have the initiative to identify problems, as well as responding to challenges that are presented along the way.

Although this is a one-year contract, there may be the opportunity for it to be extended.

Benefits

We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, childcare vouchers, pension and interest free travel loans. Our employees also have access to a tenancy deposit loan, 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.

For further information about the role and the benefits of working for Shelter please visit our website. Apply to be part of our award-winning Marketing team and be the change you want to see in society.

Safeguarding is everyone’s business. Shelter is committed to protecting the health, wellbeing and human rights of those we support, and enabling them to live free from harm, abuse and neglect.
