About Oxfam

Oxfam Ireland is one of 20 independent affiliates working as one in more than 90 countries. We are an independent, secular and not-for-profit organisation.

We share a common vision, common philosophies, and, to a large extent, common working practices. We are united by our common values and identity and share the same passion and commitment. We have joined forces as an international confederation because we believe we will achieve greater impact by working together in collaboration with others, and as an interdependent and truly global network of organisations.

Oxfam Ireland has been supported by people across the island of Ireland for over 60 years.

We have shops across the island of Ireland, offices in Belfast and Dublin, and 1,200 volunteers who are delivering real change to the lives of people affected by poverty.

People like the child who wants to go to school; the mother who needs healthcare for her baby; the farmer who sees climate change wipe out his crops and livestock; the women whose voices need to be heard in the decision-making process; the young people whose lives could be transformed with business training, the family that has lost everything in a natural disaster.

We respond to humanitarian emergencies around the world – wherever they happen. We help people to help themselves and build a brighter future through our long-term projects. We campaign nationally and internationally on issues ranging from the arms trade to women’s rights, inequality and climate change.

Last year, Oxfam Ireland reached over 8 million people; affecting positive change in their lives and contributed to Oxfam International’s work that reached over 19.5 million people.

Our teams in Dublin and Belfast collaborate to ensure our all-island approach is successful.

Dublin is a global, entrepreneurial city with a bright future. Ireland’s GDP growth in 2018 was a remarkable 6.7%, the fastest in Europe and in 2019 the country had the EU’s second-fastest growing economy.

The South Downs National Park Authority are about to embark on an exciting new challenge! Having taken ownership of an iconic area of the English landscape located on the eastern edge of the park, we will now manage the Seven Sisters Country Park. Our aspiration is to develop the Country Park as a “must see” tourist destination delivering the best possible visitor experience supported by a world-class visitor centre.

We are aiming high to ensure all visitors to Seven Sisters have the best possible experience which exceeds their expectations. We will achieve this by offering a variety of visitor options including providing information and interpretation areas, education opportunities, accommodation – cottages and camping, various food options and the ultimate option of being outside and enjoying all the natural environment has to offer.

We are already established as a forward-thinking and ambitious organisation with our purposes and duty focused on environmental issues. We are actively working to ensure the natural environment, its species and habitats are protected and enhanced and the impacts of climate change are reduced. This project will fully encompass those principles and ultimately work to a carbon neutral goal.

These aims are not attainable overnight and to achieve our vision, initially for the Country Park but with the aspiration for more marketable growth, the successful candidate must bring a high level of commercial acumen to lead the strategic direction in achieving our goals. A clear understanding and commitment to match commercialism with the protection and enhancement of the landscape is also a key part of this role.

We are looking for a strong, commercially aware, people-focused manager with adept emotional intelligence, communication, facilitation and problem-solving skills, as well as an agile, flexible and can-do approach. Good project management and change management skills are important as is the ability to be sensitive yet innovative in terms of income generation. You will also need to be able to work sensitively and collaboratively with all our stakeholders, community groups and the Trading Company Board.

We encourage and support professional development and offer a generous benefits package to support your work life balance.
