Has your proven resourcing experience been gained within a fast-paced and changing environment with conflicting demands, either internally or within an RPO or agency environment? Then join Shelter as a Resourcing & Talent Specialist and you could soon be playing a leading role at the heart of our HR Delivery team.

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.

At Shelter we are united by our purpose to defend the right to a safe home. Our enemy is the social injustice at the core of the escalating housing emergency. We believe that to win that fight, we must be representative of the people we are here to help and those who support our movement for change. 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 and welcome you on our journey to becoming a truly anti-racist organisation.

Our Strategy Enablement directorate brings together five core enabling support functions - Finance, Tech & Data, Governance, Planning and Property and HR Delivery, where this particular role sits. The HR Delivery team partners and supports a wide range of organisational activities and provides advice and guidance to over 1,300 staff on a range of employee relations issues like employee engagement, recruitment and selection, reward, and recognition etc. We also manage payroll processes, ensure HR policies and procedures are developed and updated and play our part in organisational change projects and transfers. In short, if you’re keen to further develop your career in the Resourcing & Talent field, it’s a great place to work.

As a Resourcing & Talent Specialist, you’ll be responsible for supporting and delivering against our people sourcing strategy to reduce cost per hire and build our employment brand. This will involve providing end-to-end resourcing support and advice across a range of disciplines and levels and playing a key role in resourcing campaigns from concept through to delivery. But that’s not all. We’ll also rely on you to take co-ownership for the management of our careers website and support the implementation and ongoing management of our Applicant Tracking System, including managing the reporting of vacancies and capturing all activity for consolidation and analysis.

Engaging and liaising with a variety of stakeholders on all resourcing matters - from vacancy briefing through to offer acceptance – will be key to your success. You’ll also need to establish an excellent network of strong candidates across defined disciplines and markets and act as the first point of contact for internal stakeholders, candidates, and external suppliers alike. Put simply, it’s a challenging but rewarding role that’s all about ensuring resourcing needs are met and best practice is implemented across the organisation.

We are happy to talk about flexible working, personal growth, and to promote a workplace where you can be yourself and achieve success based only on your merit. Furthermore we are happy to discuss funded opportunities to complete your CIPD Level 3 or CIPD Level 5.

A real change maker who’s driven to deliver innovative, creative, and customer-focused resourcing solutions, you’re keen to be part of a team that’s helping to recruit people who can deliver the strategy needed to help bring systemic change to the UK. You can also bring the skills it takes to influence, engage, and negotiate with all levels throughout our organisation. Proficient using office IT systems, you also have a flair for data analysis and pride yourself on your exceptional customer service skills.

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