Shelter are actively recruiting experts such as solicitors, barristers and seasoned housing professionals to deliver our diverse range of courses and webinars on housing and homelessness law, welfare benefits, debt and professional skills.
We deliver over 1,000 training sessions per year to delegates from hundreds of different organisations, including more than 90% of English local authorities, a wide range of voluntary and advice agencies, student advice centres, law centres and housing associations.
