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.
