This is your chance to play a part in the fundamental change we are striving to achieve.- At Shelter Scotland we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home.

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 Scotland and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.**About the Team**:

- Our Communications and Advocacy department promotes Shelter Scotland’s brand and leads our public campaigning and digital communications to achieve change for those that don’t have a safe, secure or affordable home in Scotland.

Crucially, you’re used to managing and motivating a diverse team with wide-ranging skill sets and relish the opportunity to champion and drive our future output.**How to Apply**:
- We prioritise diversity and have an inclusive and open mindset**Benefits**:

- We offer a wide range of benefits, including 30 days of annual leave, enhanced family friendly policies, pension and interest free travel loans.
