Description of Job

About the role

Oasis Community Housing is at a pivotal moment, with significant opportunities for growth and innovation. We seek a dynamic, mission-driven leader who can balance strategic vision with hands-on engagement to be our next CEO.

With a strong foundation, a dedicated team, and an engaged board, this is a compelling leadership opportunity to shape the future of homelessness services in the UK.

Who we are looking for

As a practising Christian, you will embody servant-hearted leadership, ensuring OCH remains a beacon of hope for our society’s most vulnerable.

You will be a dynamic and entrepreneurial leader with senior leadership experience in the homelessness, housing, or voluntary sector.

You will have a strong track record in strategic planning, financial management, and stakeholder engagement, with the ability to navigate complex funding environments and drive sustainable growth.

With an understanding of trauma-informed care and associated services, your empathetic approach will enable you to inspire and motivate staff, engage effectively with commissioners, funders, and partners, and manage board dynamics with confidence and diplomacy.

This is an exciting and pivotal leadership role with opportunities to expand OCH’s influence nationally, build new partnerships, and strengthen collaboration within the wider Oasis Group.

Oasis Community Housing is a Christian charity committed to reigniting hope and a future for those facing homelessness. We provide supported accommodation, practical assistance, and a sense of belonging to some of the most vulnerable in our communities. Working across North East and South East England, we address both immediate needs and the root causes of homelessness through our four cornerstones of support:
Basis, our crisis services;
Home 24/7, our supported housing;
Empower, our programme for women escaping domestic abuse; and Aspire, our financial skills training.

As part of the wider Oasis family, we are committed to long-term community transformation, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to build a brighter, more secure future.
