Oasis is looking for someone who can combine an entrepreneurial flair and excellent leadership and relational skills to become the new Community Hub Leader based in Oasis Hub Lister Park in Bradford.

An Oasis Hub supports the Academy community (students and their families) directly by helping young people and their families to overcome the wide-ranging community barriers that could prevent them from achieving their potential. Examples include holiday schemes, afterschool and lunchtime clubs, youth mentoring, a youth community ambassador programme plus a range of enrichment activities.

The post holder will lead the development of the Children, Youth and Community work supporting the local Academies and wider local community, and to hold the vision of integrated community delivery. We are looking for an experienced Community Leader who will take the Hub Charity to the next stage of development and grow the local community movement through our Christ-centred ethos. Some of the specific duties of this role include:

• coordination of a range of services such as family support, holiday provision, volunteering, youth mentoring and community empowerment projects.
• building supportive working partnerships across the community and various groups.
• leading Hub strategic development (e.g. comms, income generation, Monitoring and evaluation)
• planning, resource and coordinate the community Hub plan, measuring impact.
• developing a team that can grow an Oasis Movement (e.g. engaging staff, volunteers and community workers).

This is very much a relational and project management role. As such, the successful applicant will need to demonstrate:

• experience of leading community delivery and growing projects from start-up phase.
• innovative use of resources and budget management to maximise funding.
• a thorough knowledge and understanding community work.

While a relevant degree is an advantage, we are really looking for candidates who are aligned with our ethos and values, and can demonstrate relevant experience.

This is a unique opportunity for a self-reliant and results-focused individual, who is looking to make a difference in this complex and high-profile field of work.
