Abstract: Spinorial methods have proven to be a powerful tool to study geometric properties of Spin manifolds. We aim to continue the spinorial study of manifolds that are not necessarily Spin. We introduce and study the notion of $G$-invariance of generalised Spin${}^r$ structures on a manifold $M$ equipped with an action of a Lie group $G$. For the case when $M$ is a homogeneous $G$-space, we prove a characterisation of the existence of these invariant structures in terms of a lift of the isotropy representation. As an application, we study the invariant generalised Spin${}^r$ structures for all the homogeneous realisations of the spheres.
