This team plays a key role enabling Digital Services to deliver technology initiatives to support the Council's transformation programme.
You will build long term relationships with Directorate Senior Management Teams and Priority Leads to understand their strategic objectives. Working with digital and business teams, you will translate those into digital initiatives. Proactively managing demand and shaping initiatives, you will help to maximise the benefits from digital investment.

Launch a social startup in a year

Year Here is an immersive full-time course in social innovation, kicking off on 31st August 2020.

We believe that starting a scalable social business could be your best shot at impact – and that learning on the frontline is where you need to start.

Over 10 months, you’ll gain deep insight into complex social issues and learn to build entrepreneurial solutions to society’s toughest problems – from the housing crisis to knife crime.

If selected to become a Fellow, you will:

• Get frontline insights. You’ll spend the first 5 months working with the people hit hardest by austerity and gaining deep user insight. To deepen your systemic understanding, you’ll also work on briefs set by clients like Crisis, the NHS and the Greater London Authority.
• Meet your co-founders. Our Fellows have an average of 7 years’ career experience in fields ranging from biochemistry to law, and from journalism to engineering. They will become your support network, your collaborators and, ultimately, your co-founders.
• Build scalable ventures. You’ll test and build your own social business, with the potential to progress to our Incubator and launch it into the world. Venture teams are guided by expert partners like the Boston Consulting Group, ForwardPMX and BNYMellon.
• Learn from expert faculty. You’ll get a personal mentor and receive tonnes of training from a faculty of more than 80 social innovation leaders – from award-winning social designer Lauren Currie OBE to Nishant Lalwani, Director of Investments at Omidyar Network.

Beyond Year Here

Finish the programme with a venture and you’ll get seed funding, business support, desk-space and client introductions to launch your business.

Our alumni have launched 33 social ventures including: 

• Cracked It, the tech repair service staffed by ex-gang members. Social Enterprise of the Year 2018 and 2019.
• Birdsong the feminist fashion brand selling wardrobe stapes made by women paid a fair wage. Featured in Vogue, Dazed and Vice.
• Appt, a HealthTech business that uses behavioural economics to help patients manage their long-term conditions – with multi-year investment from Innovate UK.
• Chatterbox, an online language tuition platform powered by refugee talent, featured in The Economist, Tech Crunch and The Times. 

Those that don’t start a venture join other fast-growing social startups like The Difference, BeyondMe, Switchback and Matr.

Selection Process

We’re looking for people with a solid professional skillset and an entrepreneurial track record. This doesn’t mean you have to have started your own business before but you will need to demonstrate that you have a bias towards action. Drive, passion for social justice and a strong learning orientation are also essential.

It’s a 3-stage process: a written application, video interview and half-day selection workshop. Typically, 1 in 10 applicants secure a place on the programme.

Apply by midnight Sunday 26 April 2020.

Has your expertise in user-centred design been gained working closely with product owners, designer and web developers? Then join Shelter as a UX Designer and you could soon be leading on the standards, processes, tools and knowledge for the design of online products for Shelter Scotland

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.

It's an exciting time to join Shelter Scotland and our digital team. Shelter has a new leadership team working on a fresh organisational strategy, and the Digital team recently received additional investment to expand our capacity to meet the challenge. We’re already doing some exciting service design work that affects our digital offering, the helpline, and our centres around the country. We also build digital tools to campaign for change and fundraise to keep Shelter services running. This new role will help us deliver our ambitions to put our users at the heart of every project we work on.

About the role

Delivering designs for websites, HTML emails, digital tools and services and working on some of our social media and digital marketing assets are just some of the attractions of this brilliant new role. As well as developing detailed interface and interaction design patterns for a range of website components, you’ll collaborate with web developers to maintain the integrity of UI design throughout the development process. You’ll also help facilitate the ongoing development of Shelter’s digital design guidelines, pattern library and accessibility standards, and much more besides. And, along the way, you’ll get to work closely with other usability and service design experts, product owners and strategists across the organisation.

About you

You’ll need a proven track record of applying a variety of design thinking methods and approaches, including usability testing, workshops, observations and data analysis. We’ll also be looking for experience of using user research insight to focus product hypotheses and validate outcomes. An understanding of Agile, Lean, Scrum and Product-based approaches and how they relate to design and user research is essential too, with experience working in a cross-functional digital team an advantage. Creative, innovative and customer-focused, you’re comfortable collaborating with a variety of colleagues and not afraid to challenge the status quo and introduce new ideas when appropriate.

Shelter Scotland helps over half a million 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.

To find out more about the role and the benefits of working for Shelter Scotland please visit our website. Apply to be part of our digital 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. All our staff will be expected to observe professional standards of behaviour and conduct their work in line with our Safeguarding Policies.

At Shelter Scotland, we welcome and encourage applications from everyone regardless of age, disability, gender, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation. We also encourage applications from people, who have been homeless or have been at risk of homelessness. We are facing diverse problems, so need diverse people to tackle them. In addition to this, we encourage an approach to involving people with personal insight of housing issues and homelessness in our recruitment processes.

Shelter does not accept unsolicited CVs from external recruitment agencies nor accept the fees associated with them.
