We are excited to announce a new vacancy for a Development and Youth Innovation Lead in Oasis Hub Ashburton Park, in Croydon.

You will receive guidance and help from the Regional Cluster Lead, as well as training from the national Oasis infrastructure teams, to ensure that you are well supported in your role. This role requires a visionary leader, an entrepreneur with business acumen, but just importantly, a belief in inclusion, relationships and the value people as individuals in a community.
