From direct delivery, to advocacy and leadership, we refuse to stay in our lane and believe passionately that those we exist to serve have the right to be anything they want to be.

Oasis Charitable Trust is a ground-breaking group of charities that have been pioneering models of sustainable and holistic education and community development over the last 35 years.
We are now seeking a dynamic and transformational leader as the Director of Learning and Enrichment for Oasis Restore – the UK’s first secure school. This is a career-defining opportunity to lead the development and delivery of our bespoke integrated care and education for young people in custody.
Oasis Restore will offer a reparative opportunity to children and young people, who have become criminally involved, often as a result of high levels of trauma, vulnerability and threat. Our vision for Oasis Restore is focused on restoration, rather than retribution, on creating a safe environment with a holistic approach to life where every child is given opportunities equal to those offered their peers; ones that enable young people to make different choices and lead positive, productive lives.
Using a psychologically informed approach that integrates theories on attachment, trauma and human development we will offer:
• A holistic, integrated, safe environment
• A therapeutic model of care with a growth mind-set
• An ambitious and enquiry-based education offer
• Pathways for transition into community from day one
We are looking for a transformational leader with the ability to develop an education offer that is highly differentiated and innovative to achieve our shared vision. You will be values-led and have sustained, relevant leadership experience of working with children who are neurodiverse and those with social, emotional, and mental health difficulties, challenging behaviour and who experience significant barriers to learning.
The Director of Learning and Enrichment will be a champion of high-quality best practice, committed to drawing the best of your teams and children in your care.
This role is a unique opportunity to use your leadership and design experience to operationalise a model of education from scratch. This means you will be at the forefront of innovation and a ‘proof of concept’ within the custody sector. The role will require someone with confidence and resilience to develop practice with a high level of attention balanced with the exciting opportunity to influence wider system change.
The successful candidate will:
- Have credible, proven leadership experience of education in alternative provision, special school or custody setting that supports student progress and attainment whilst addressing the effects of childhood trauma or adversity.
• Have a track record of delivering good and outstanding provision of education to highly vulnerable children in high risk environment within accountability and Ofsted regulatory education frameworks.
• Be a champion of divergent thinking and creative and innovative teaching practice and curriculum design balanced with commitment to providing psychologically informed, developmentally appropriate provision for secondary aged children.
• Demonstrate commitment to values-led leadership.
Working with Peer Power, Oasis asked young people about their vision for what a secure school could be. Their response was: “Operate in love, operate in trust, and listen to the young people.” We are looking for leadership who will respect, value and listen to the young people they serve.
Oasis is committed to making a difference to the lives of the communities it works in, and as such you must show a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the values and behaviours, which flow from the Oasis ethos. Our ethos is an expression of our character and the lens through which we evaluate all we do and directly shapes our organisation's behaviours.
- Passion to include everyone
- Desire to treat everyone equally, respecting differences
- Commitment to healthy and open relationships
- Deep sense of hope that things can change and be transformed
- Sense of perseverance to keep going for the long haul

Turn2us, a national charity helping people when times get tough.
Unexpected illness, job loss or relationship breakdown can turn any of our lives upside down, leading to loss of income, loss of housing, and financial crisis for any of us and our families. Around 14.4 million people live in poverty in the UK including a shameful 4.5 million children.
So people can build financial sustainability and thrive, Turn2us gives people the information and support they need in the face of life-changing events, and collaborates to tackle the causes and symptoms of poverty. We are here to end the crippling impact of financial shocks.

No one in the UK should live in poverty.
The Director of Income & External Affairs is an extraordinary opportunity to join an inspirational and focused senior team that’s building and delivering a refreshed operating model for this respected and effective charity.
You will be the driver of our fundraising team to increase our voluntary income so we can achieve more impact for people facing financial hardship. You’ll lead the external affairs team to reach people before and as they face financial shocks and build the profile of our work to secure more income and have more influence. You’ll work hand in hand with your senior colleagues on the leadership team to take the organisation in to the future and to tackle financial exclusion.
We are more interested in your potential than we are in a perfect career or education. We want to recruit so we can build a strong, high-performing leadership team full of complementary experiences and strengths, not a group of people with the same perspectives.
