We are seeking to recruit a strategic and commercially focused, proactive and solutions orientated leader for our charity.

After 10 + years in post, our CEO is standing down which means there is a real opportunity for the next CEO to lead Wandsworth Oasis to achieve the next exciting stage in its development.  Working with the Board of Trustees and the newly appointed Head of Retail (95% of funds are currently generated through the retail operation), the CEO will assist the board to review the values and ethos of the charity and to create a new vision and strategy to ensure we safeguard the future for our beneficiaries.   The right candidate will be a great people person, who can inspire  staff and volunteers and, in particular, provide leadership to the senior management team.

Reporting into the Chair of the Board of Trustees and working closely with individual Trustees on special projects, the CEO manages a Senior Management Team of 3 currently – Head of Retail Operations, Head of Finance & Support Services and Community Engagement Manager.   

Wandsworth Oasis raises more than £1 million per annum through its shops and events programme to fund its fundraising operations and multiple projects that support the most vulnerable people living with HIV, HIV prevention and awareness raising projects.   

This an opportunity for an innovative, experienced and grounded individual – with senior leadership experience in business or charities - to work with the Board and senior management team to capitalise on the wide range of opportunities available to Wandsworth Oasis and really deliver value to the HIV community in terms of funds available for its development at a time when the overall funding environment is really uncertain.

About the role:

We’re looking for a talented and capable leader to further our work, addressing the continued and strong demand from government partners to improve educational outcomes, and therefore the lives, of many of the world’s most disadvantaged children. As CEO you will lead the existing business and have the ambition and know-how to continue to build on the team’s impact internationally.

About EPG:

We, the Education Partnerships Group (EPG), are looking for an exceptional individual to join us as Chief Executive Officer (CEO). 

All children should have access to high quality education. Sadly, in many countries, too few children access education, and too much of what is available does not translate into learning. This stifles both personal and economic development.

Formed in 2015, EPG is a non-profit consultancy that supports governments in low- and middle-income countries to shape and strengthen their education systems. At the heart of our approach is the belief that governments are best placed to make decisions about their countries. Our role is to enable those decisions by generating and using research to ensure policy is informed by evidence, supporting the design and effective implementation of policy, and advising on the piloting and scaling of new policy reforms.

Our successful candidate will:

• Demonstrate exceptional leadership skills, empowering and motivating a team of talented staff
• Need to show the acumen to thrive in a culture characterised by innovation, growth, and concern for demonstrable impact.
• Win the confidence of key stakeholders, including governments
• Our CEO must have superb interpersonal and diplomatic skills, and be a natural collaborator

How to Apply:

If you have the relevant skills and qualities, and the ambition to lead an internationally recognised group that makes a difference to education where change is most needed, please apply with a CV and cover letter on our online recruitment portal by clicking apply.
