Completed applications should be returned by 9am Friday 2nd August 2024.
Final interviews will take place in London on Wednesday 14th August 2024. Please submit your CV and covering letter at your earliest convenience. In your covering letter, please answer the following three questions:
1. With all the HR opportunities available, what inspires you about this role and what is your motivation for applying with Oasis in particular?
2. Please give examples that demonstrate you have the personal qualities, experience, and skills required for this role. Please highlight your experience in previous HR roles, and detail examples of where you have been successful in making an impact in terms of developing people and advising management. You may not have equal experience in all areas (of a wide-ranging brief) so please highlight what you consider to be the areas of strength or particular experience that you’ve gained to date.
3. After researching the Oasis ethos and 9 Habits, do any of these stand out to you? How might you incorporate them in your daily work and practice?
We actively encourage applications from people of all ethnic backgrounds and minority and underrepresented groups. If you require any assistance to overcome potential barriers, please let us know. 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.

Are you our new Director?
•Are you a collaborative and experienced leader and manager?
•Are you committed to defending human rights and human dignity, and passionate about issues affecting marginalised and excluded people?
•Are you able to build trusting, respectful and creative relationships?
•Do you have a sound understanding of grant making, or perhaps sub-granting, or commissioning?
If so, then you might well be the right person to join us at this exciting time.
Our priorities and approach
• The human rights framework• The criminal legal system
• Migrants, refugees and people seeking asylum• Access to justice
The A B Charitable Trust exists to promote human dignity and defend the human rights of the most marginalised and excluded people. Our approach is founded on liberal principles of universalism and human rights. We believe in justice, not charity. For us, this means supporting work that promotes rather than diminishes dignity. It also means supporting efforts to change the systems that shape the lives of marginalised and excluded people in pernicious ways. We have a particular interest in work that uses the law to address inequities and injustices.
Our journey
The Trust was founded 33 years ago to promote and defend human dignity. Since then, we have given £33.4m to organisations, and this year we will spend some £8m. We have significantly increased our grantmaking over recent years and intend to continue a trajectory of growth.
Over the years the board has developed into a mix of both family and independent trustees, all of whom bring a wealth of experiences, skills and a shared passion for the work. Our talented executive team brings a high level of knowledge, expertise and skill both around grant making and our priority areas.
About the role and you
The key purpose of this role is to work closely and collaboratively with the trustees and executive teams to:
·Provide strategic leadership and management
·Have oversight / management of ABCT’s grants portfolio and our partnerships, ensuring we meet our priorities.
·Develop and maintain relationships with key stakeholders.
·Build a culture of learning and best practice in ABCT’s work.
The new Director will be critical in shaping how the Trust continues to grow and develop, so candidates will need to be able to demonstrate a relevant leadership and management background and a passion for the work.
This could be the right opportunity for a range of potential candidates. We really want to hear from candidates from a wide range of backgrounds and we particularly encourage people with lived experience to apply.
If you would like to have an informal discussion about the role then please contact Allyson Davies (see link) who is advising and supporting the trustees in this appointment.
We value, welcome and respect all the differences that make us who we are, including: age, cultural background, disability and mental health, ethnicity and race, sex, gender identity and expression, sexual orientation, and social background.
