Neighbourhood Housing Project Lead (Sheffield and Scunthorpe)

Fixed term (18-months), full-time post, 40 hours per week (1 FTE), inclusive of breaks 

Salary: £42,752 (National)

Regular travel to Sheffield and Scunthorpe will be required. Occasional travel to London will be required.

Building Tomorrow – Neighbourhood Housing Project Lead

Oasis exists to build stronger communities where there is no one left out. Building Tomorrow is an innovative new neighbourhood housing programme that Oasis is developing in Sheffield and Scunthorpe.

We are pioneering a new community-led solution to housing challenges in two communities where Oasis already works, running five schools and two community Hubs. We are working to develop quality housing that offers opportunity for families to find a stable and supportive place of belonging in community.

The programme will combine quality housing, excellent education (provided through Oasis academies), and community wrap-around support (delivered through our existing youth and community teams). This programme is designed to offer a preventative approach to housing challenges, acting as a proof of concept that can be replicated in other communities around the country. 

This role will act as the central point of coordination which will ensure Building Tomorrow moves successfully from initiation to full activation over the initial 18-month period. In the activation period, we will purchase and refurbish the 20 properties, and this role will work in close coordination with our property consultants. As properties are purchased, we will begin to move into the delivery phase, where we start to house families.

This role requires a person who:

· Loves organisation and turning complex plans into simple, actionable steps.

· Is a fantastic communicator – someone who can talk to a contractor, a community leader, and a new resident with  equal ease and effectiveness.

· Thrives on problem-solving and is comfortable making quick, informed decisions to keep the project on track.

Why might you consider Oasis?

We work in 52 local neighbourhoods in the UK, building stronger communities. Our place-based, holistic neighbourhood work brings together local people to create belonging, opportunity, and change.

Where you live and grow up in the UK determines a lot about your opportunities and life chances – your access to public services, education, employment, housing, life expectancy and much more. We work in many communities where poverty and inequality are deep rooted. We know too many families and individuals feel excluded and ignored, lacking hope that anything will change for themselves or their children. We are not content with this disparity. Together we deliver joined-up education, youth work and family support, housing, church and community work, so that everyone can thrive.

Over the past four decades we’ve set up different parts of our organisation to develop expertise and deliver our mission to build stronger communities.

- A network of 56 Oasis Academies (Oasis Community Learning).

- Youth and community work (Oasis Community Partnerships)

- Homelessness and housing (Oasis Community Housing)

- Secure education for young people (Oasis Restore)

- Anti-human trafficking work (STOP THE TRAFFIK)

What will you do?

The key areas of responsibility for the role are as follows:

· To act as the main link between all stakeholders: the Oasis teams including academies; contractors; and any community partners. To make sure everyone is communicating effectively and working toward the same goal.

· To work in close collaboration with Oasis Community Leaders in Sheffield and Scunthorpe. To support the Community Leaders and wider community teams to welcome families by acting as a key part of the community support offer through the 18-month activation phase.

· To own the 18-month master plan. This will involve tracking progress, analysing potential delays, and proactively solving problems so the activation stays on time and on budget.

· To focus on transitioning the housing element from a period of acquisition and refurbishment into functioning homes. This includes everything from smooth resident move-ins to ensuring the community support is fully accessible.

· To work alongside colleagues in the Operations Group to design operational processes including the community support offer, housing management systems, and tenancy arrangements. 

· To help the team set clear, achievable goals for the activation period and then track whether those goals are being met, providing regular, honest updates to all stakeholders.

· To support the Group CEO in liaising with our social investor.

What will you get in return?

· A network of peers and partners all sharing the same vision and an environment set up to ensure everyone is supported and included.

· A package of reward that includes a 7% employer contribution pension scheme, annual leave allowance starting at 25 days (plus Bank Holidays) increasing over time, eligibility to join the Green Commute cycle to work scheme and cash benefit health plan.

· Be part of an international network of Oasis charities offering opportunities to develop your career in new directions and locations.

· A competitive salary and workplace flexibility.

​About Impetus

At Impetus, our focus is on helping young people achieve positive education and employment outcomes to increase their chance of leading fulfilling and successful lives, irrespective of their background.

We tackle the three most difficult challenges that affect a young person’s ability to succeed in life in Britain today:  ​​

We use our deep expertise and high calibre networks to give the best non-profits working in these sectors the essential ingredients to have a real and lasting impact on the young people they serve.

Through a powerful combination of long-term funding, direct capacity building support from our experienced team and our pro bono partners, alongside research and policy influencing to drive lasting systems change, we work towards a society where all young people can thrive in school, pass their exams and unlock the doors to sustained employment, for a fulfilling life. ​​

We are resolutely focused on outcomes and impact, driven by quality evidence.​

You would be joining a team that is passionate, rigorous, determined, creative and warm. We care deeply for our colleagues, our portfolio partners and the young people we serve.​

REF-225 890

Make a real impact for people living with rare, life-altering conditions. 

Inflammatory Neuropathies UK is the only UK charity dedicated solely to supporting people impacted by Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS), CIDP, MMN and other Inflammatory Neuropathies. These are rare autoimmune conditions that can dramatically change lives. We are here to work with people, to provide support, and to make things better. 

We provide information, peer support, personal grants, local and online groups, and fund vital research. We are ambitious, people-focused, and growing fast. Along with our community, we are IN this together. 

We are now looking for a proactive, organised and mission-driven Operations Manager to help us strengthen, streamline, and expand our core services so we can reach and support even more people. 

About the role 

As Operations Manager, you will be at the heart of our charity’s day-to-day running. Working closely with our Chief Executive, Trustees, staff team, and dedicated volunteers, you will lead on: 

• Operational Management 

• Day to Day Financial Management 

• Governance & Compliance 

• Volunteer Support 

• Projects, Programmes & Fundraising 

This is a varied and rewarding role for someone who enjoys improving processes, working with people, and building organisational capacity. No two days will be the same, and your work will directly help people impacted by life-changing conditions. 

The role is mainly remote, but does require regular travel to our office in Sleaford (at least once a month), as well as some occasional travel around the UK and Ireland. It may also require some evening and weekend working.

About you 

We’re looking for someone dynamic and innovative, bold, and forward thinking. You will have proven experience in operations, administration, or charity management, with strong knowledge of charity governance, finance, and compliance. We want someone who is organised, can communicate well, and who can work well with our team. You will need to be driven, with a person centred approach at your core. 

If you have experience with a health or rare-disease charity that would be great, but it isn’t essential.

You could be an established manager looking for a fresh challenge, or an up and coming professional looking for their next step. We have an incredible team, and we want to build on it by bringing in the best. 

Why join us? 

If you want to be part of an ambitious, developing team working within a national charity, then this job is for you. This is your chance to make a real difference for a group of people who are often overlooked and who are facing multiple challenges. 

We offer: 

• A competitive salary 

• Remote working with flexibility and autonomy 

• Progression and development 

• The chance to make a tangible difference every single day 

• The opportunity to be part of a supportive and passionate community 

How to apply 

If you’re excited by the idea of helping us make a big impact, we’d love to hear from you. 

Apply via CharityJob with your CV and a supporting statement outlining how your experience meets the job description and person specification. 

Apply now and help us make things better for people living with Inflammatory Neuropathies.

What is a Fixing Factory?

Fixing Factories do what they say on the tin! We help people fix their broken electricals and learn new fixing skills, shifting us from our current take-make-waste linear system towards a repair economy fit for the future. They generate public interest in repair. Through a series of stepping stone activities, we take people from never having looked inside an electrical item towards, if they wish, fixing for others.

The Fixing Factories is a partnership between The Restart Project and Possible, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund. It launched in April 2022 and we currently have three operational sites across London in Camden, Haringey and Hackney.

Each new Fixing Factory site grows and nurtures a community of repairers, is strongly linked with local residents and stakeholders, and is driven by engaged teams of volunteers. There is a range of offers; from free community repair events to paid workshops and retail - as we develop a replicable model which will support our long term goal of ‘a Fixing Factory on every high street’.

About the role

Passionate about repair? Love working in the community to help people embrace low-waste lifestyles? Ready to manage a team of volunteers to get our latest Fixing Factory locations up and running? We want to hear from you!

As one of our Fixing Factory workshop managers, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day operations of our two newest Fixing Factory sites, helping members of the public to fix their broken items, and managing a successful team of volunteers and freelancers to support along the way.

You’ll deliver a programme of activities to teach people the basics of repair and change their mindset around electronic waste. The two new sites will be trialling a scaled-back Fixing Factory model compared to our other three sites, so you’ll be a key part of developing and iterating a new way of delivering a Fixing Factory.

The two new sites will be in shared spaces with other community organisations. A key part of this role will be to build and maintain positive relationships with others managing and using the spaces.

You will split your time between the two new Fixing Factory locations, working remotely with a passionate Fixing Factory team, including workshop managers for other sites, and a central development and project management team. You’ll also work closely with Possible, our partner on the Fixing Factories project.

If you’re a fixer with the skills and enthusiasm to manage a welcoming, safe, and impactful repair hub, this is the role for you!

Key responsibilities

Activity and delivery

• Take responsibility for overseeing on-site repairs at the two Fixing Factory locations, ensuring they are completed safely, effectively, and to a consistent standard.
• Deliver a regular programme of activities at the two sites, including community drop-in repair sessions, workshops for the general public, and sessions for volunteers to repair damaged electronic goods.
• Work with the Fixing Factory Lead to make changes in response to feedback and project needs.
• Participate in the necessary training needed for the role.
• Take responsibility for ensuring health and safety, safeguarding, and first aid protocols are implemented and adhered to at the two sites at all times.
• Ensure activities provide an inclusive and pleasant environment for staff, volunteers, and members of the public.
• Implement processes to manage the inventory of equipment, consumables, spares, and repaired items at the Fixing Factory.
• Ensure workshop, tools, and equipment are maintained and well organised.

Volunteer management

• Help build a volunteer community at both sites that feels empowered to take the lead on the delivery of some of the core Fixing Factory activities.
• Supervise Fixing Factory volunteers and freelancers, including leading volunteer inductions, regular work and wellbeing check-ins, volunteer team meetings, and celebrations with support from the Fixing Factory Lead.
• Create an open, welcoming, inclusive environment for volunteers, whilst encouraging collaboration and skill sharing.
• Ensure there is a sufficient and growing pipeline of volunteers and freelancers, including leading recruitment for specific roles to run core Fixing Factory activities.

Relationship management

• Build and maintain positive relationships with local stakeholders, including the managers and users of both shared sites, members of the public, local repair businesses, local authorities, volunteers, and community fixing initiatives, with support from the Fixing Factory Lead.
• Maintain an open and honest line of communication with the Fixing Factory Lead, other workshop managers, operational group, and Possible colleagues.

Monitoring and evaluation

• Collect and train volunteers to collect monitoring and evaluation data related to the Fixing Factories with support from the Fixing Factory Lead.

Income generation

• Work with the Fixing Factory Lead to track and grow onsite income-generating activities to ensure that the shop meets its objectives for financial sustainability. This includes overseeing:
• Paid workshops and training sessions, including generating bookings from the public
• Potential for small-scale sales of refurbished items
• Encouraging donations during the delivery of core activities

Finance management

• Follow agreed Fixing Factory finance processes, including correct and timely categorisation of regular project income and expenditure (training will be provided) with support from Fixing Factory Lead.
• Manage your Fixing Factory locations' day-to-day site finances: petty cash, buying materials, workshop consumables, and reimbursing volunteers' expenses.

Communications

• Respond to enquiries about your Fixing Factory sites via email with support from the Fixing Factory Lead.
• Update the Fixing Factory website, Eventbrite, and Ticket Tailor booking systems for events with support from the Fixing Factory Lead and Possible comms team (training will be provided if needed).
• Publicise workshop activities and off-site events locally with support from the Fixing Factory Lead.
• Respond to press and comms requests when needed (for example, providing quotes or facilitating visits from journalists). This does not necessitate acting as a ‘live’ press spokesperson unless you are comfortable with this.
• Where requested, facilitate comms team interactions with your Fixing Factory volunteers, including requests for interviews and comms training requirements, with support from the Fixing Factory Lead when needed.

Organisational and partner involvement

• Attend monthly workshop manager meetings, weekly team meetings, monthly 1:1s, local partners group meetings, and any other meetings requested that contribute to the effective running of Fixing Factories.
• Represent Restart at public events and meetings where appropriate.
• Participate in organisational strategy development and reviews.
• Be a team player: skill sharing, chipping in on communal tasks, and helping each other out.

Person Specification
