Primary Purpose:

The Head of Services is a key member of Age UK Cheshire’s Senior Leadership Team, designated Safeguarding Lead, and leads all aspects of the organisation’s service operations.
Following the successful integration of existing services, this role will work closely with a supportive CEO and board on the next phase of development of our new organisation, building on the strong history and reputation of two charities, to meet the needs of a growing ageing population across Cheshire.
The successful candidate will understand the strategic need to combine impactful data with storytelling, influencing internal and external stakeholders to join us in our mission.
The role involves representing Age UK Cheshire externally, championing the voices of older people, to influence decision makers and commissioners to help ensure older people aren’t forgotten in a challenging funding environment.

Additional Information: 

Rising poverty, digital exclusion and rural isolation are creating a perfect storm of loneliness for thousands of older people. Age UK Cheshire is a local, independent charity dedicated to supporting older people across the whole of Cheshire. We offer a lifeline for people in later life to access the information and support they need.

If you embody our values of respectful, honest and person centred, and are passionate about supporting those who built the world we now live in, we’d love to hear from you.

You’ll be joining Age UK Cheshire at a pivotal time following the merger of Age UK Cheshire and Age UK East Cheshire in July 2024. Following the successful integration of existing services, you’ll work closely with a supportive CEO and board on the next phase of development of our new organisation, building on the strong history and reputation of two charities, to meet the needs of a growing ageing population across Cheshire.

You’ll have a strategic vision for developing and future proofing services, whilst staying close to operational realities. You will lead the delivery of measurably impactful services, and ensure our resources are directed where they can make the greatest difference for older people across Cheshire.

This role offers a unique chance for an experienced service-delivery leader to shape the future of a respected local charity, drive innovation and impact — in a supportive, values led culture with an ambitious and passionate team.

Together we can make Cheshire a place where older people are not only seen, but respected and valued every day.

About Us
Action Village India (AVI) is a small UK based organisation that since 1989, has been supporting Indian partner organisations who work alongside villagers in some of the most remote parts of rural India so they can improve their lives, livelihoods and resilience.

Oasis St Martins Village is part of Oasis which is a group of organisations, committed to building stronger communities. Oasis St Martin’s Village, based in Tulse Hill, is a new and exciting project, working in partnership with other organisations in an integrated way, to provide opportunity and pathways for children and young people.

The vision of the Village is to transform the life-chances of children, who are struggling in or not coping with mainstream education, by offering them and their families support and opportunity.

Our work is based around the principle that “it takes a village to raise a child”.

Oasis Nurture

Oasis Nurture is a project that is carried out on the Village. It is a therapeutic intervention designed specifically for those children who might be described as the missing middle – those who do not meet the threshold for an ECHP but who nevertheless struggle to engage with the curriculum for a variety of reasons.

Oasis Nurture is in its pilot phase, working with four local schools, offering a two day a week intervention to a small group of children.

As a Teacher, you will be working with a maximum of six children supported by a key worker and a therapeutic practitioner. You will work alongside a therapeutic lead and a clinical lead.

In this role you will be:

· Working with the home school and parents/carers to understand the children’s needs and developing agreed goals for learning and emotional and social development

· Developing a basic curriculum for Key Stage 2 children for numeracy and literacy, related to their stage learning at their home school, so that they don’t fall behind.

· Providing a personalised, bespoke and restorative approach for each individual child to help address their challenges and fulfil their potential. 

· Maintaining clear and accurate records for individual children on the designated online systems and reporting back to the home school and parents/carers on the agreed goals

· You will also be working with the Therapeutic Lead to provide opportunities for mindful therapeutic care to remove barriers to learning and provide emotional support to access the curriculum. While this role requires primary teaching experience it also requires someone who has experience of working in trauma responsive ways and understands the therapeutic needs of children who struggle to engage.

Oasis Nurture is not an Alternative Provision; it is a part time intervention designed to support local schools and children and their families. Oasis Nurture is not a statutory provision and does not therefore follow teachers’ pay and conditions. Oasis offers all the usual employment benefits including sick pay and pension.  

As this is a newly created role, you will expect some evolution of the role as a result of the development of the project, your insightful input and our combined learning. At the same time, the role provides incredible opportunities for the right person.

To apply, please send your CV and a Supporting Statement (no more than two A4 pages) via Charity Jobs or see our website for details.

Please expand on your CV to tell us about relevant skills, experience and qualifications you have that relate to the job description.

We will review applications on a rolling basis and reserve the right to close the advert if we identify suitable candidates. To avoid disappointment, please submit your application as soon as possible.

If successful you will be invited to a formal interview. We actively encourage applications from people of all ethnic backgrounds and underrepresented groups. If you require any assistance to overcome potential barriers during the recruitment process, 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.  We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks. 

The successful candidates must have the right to work in the UK.  Oasis cannot assist with sponsorship or visas.
