Permanent, full-time post, 40 hours per week, inclusive of breaks 

Starting salary: £51,960 per annum (plus London Weighting for London based staff)

 At an exciting and key stage in our journey we have the opportunity for an Operations Director to join the Oasis Youth and Community national leadership team supporting local Oasis community charities across the country.

 ORGANISATIONAL CONTEXT

Oasis neighbourhoods are local places of activity that provide integrated, high quality and diverse services to benefit the whole person and the whole community. The Oasis ethos stems from our Christian roots and is an expression of our character - it is a declaration of who we are and therefore the lens through which we assess all we do. This is encapsulated by the following five statements:

a passion to include everyone

a desire to treat everyone equally, respecting differences

a commitment to healthy and open relationships

a deep sense of hope that things can change and be transformed

a sense of perseverance to keep going for the long haul

An Oasis neighbourhood is a community movement and the joining together of all the work Oasis does in any one place, which could include foodbanks, debt advice centres, family support and advice services, healthcare, youth work, children’s work, alongside other Oasis activities in that community, including formal education through Oasis Academies.

The Youth and Community function of Oasis is responsible for the wider community work that takes place within Oasis neighbourhoods, working closely with the wider Oasis family to outwork our vision. In relation to governance, Oasis Community Partnerships is the national charity, with each local team operating from their own local Oasis charity.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a growing national organisation, making a difference to communities on a local level, whilst also influencing the national landscape.  As part of the package, Oasis offers:

• A pension scheme, currently offering 7% employer contribution
• A generous holiday allowance, starting at 25 days per year (plus 8 Bank Holidays)

We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks.

The Diocese of Peterborough is entering an important new phase as we continue to seek God’s vision for our future. Like many dioceses, we have faced challenges in recent years, particularly following the pandemic. Yet we see this as a time of opportunity to renew our mission, strengthen our churches, and grow in faith and hope for the future.

Our focus is to resource, encourage, and equip local churches and their leaders to grow and flourish, bringing the hope of Jesus to their communities. Building on the good work already happening in our churches and schools, and under the leadership of the Bishop and her leadership team, we are committed to using our resources boldly and intentionally across the Diocese.

To help us do this, we are appointing a Programme Manager to support our emerging change programme. Reporting to the Diocesan Secretary / CEO and working closely with the Senior Leadership Team, Diocesan staff, Deaneries and Parishes, this role will apply programme management skills to deliver change effectively across the Diocese.

There is potential for the post to develop into a more senior role.  The post is funded by the national church for 3 years, but the expectation is that it will become a permanent role in the Diocesan structure.
