Who we are.

The charity is dedicated to the improvement of animal welfare in the region, proactively supporting animals and encouraging people to prioritise animal welfare through our community programmes, advocacy and rehoming services.
We provide holistic support and care for animals and their owners to reach long-term solutions that avoid the need for rehoming but when that is unavoidable, Oak Tree provides a safe home for animals, rehabilitating and preparing them for the next stage in their lives.
The charity also prepares potential owners for life with a new companion and offers the help and support necessary for both animal and owner to live a long and happy life together.
Oak Tree does more besides this by working with communities, government services, local businesses and other charities to provide whatever help is necessary to allow animals and their owners to live happy and healthy lives.
About the role.

The role will line manage the Head of Operations, Head of Income Generation and Head of Animal Welfare.
Oak Tree Animals’ Charity has expanded significantly over the last 9 years, and it is a much more complex organisation than it was previously.
The new CEO’s role will be to maintain and stabilise this creation and ensure that the charity is sustainable long term.
Who we are looking for.
We are seeking pragmatic candidates with strong leadership and people management skills to mentor and develop the passionate staff team and lead the strategic direction of the charity.
Experience of diversification of funding would be most welcome, so we welcome candidates with a fundraising background.
You will have a passion for animals as well as people, with a natural ability to build and develop relationships with a diverse range of stakeholders.
It is not essential to have an extensive background in the animal sector, but a strong sense of the industry and knowledge and understanding of animal welfare issues and legislation would give a definite advantage.

CHT is a dynamic, innovative and expanding charity in the adult mental health sector. To help realise our ambitions we are looking for an experienced fundraising and communications expert as Head of Fundraising and Communications. This is a new role and we are looking for an ambitious, enthusiastic and creative person with the expertise and drive to make the role their own, to expand our capacity and reach, and to grow the role, their team and the charity.
CHT
CHT is a mental health charity that provides seven rehabilitative residential communities in London and Sussex for people experiencing severe mental health difficulties, and training in the field of relational practice in mental health.
Poor mental health is a national crisis. Those with the severest of mental health difficulties experience a high risk of suicide and self-harm, a lack of independence, and a loss of hope. Though many are still young adults, most of our residents have spent years in psychiatric hospitals before coming to CHT; medication alone is not the answer. For 30 years, CHT has provided a unique approach with a distinct clinical model. We work with individuals with a history of multiple or prolonged hospital admissions, providing an alternative, longer-term solution that enables the majority of our residents to move on to lower support, with many taking up education, training or employment while still with us – a stark contrast to psychiatric hospital.
Purpose of role
As part of our five-year strategic plan two years ago CHT commissioned a part-time consultant to develop our fundraising and communications capacity from scratch. We now feel that the time is right to build on the work done so far and to step up a gear and appoint our own full-time Head of Fundraising and Communications who will lead on the further growth of our fundraising capacity and fully develop our marketing. This is a new post for someone creative and innovative who wants to step up in their career and help CHT step up in our fundraising and communications capabilities. We are a growth-oriented charity both in terms of personal learning and development and in terms of our role in the mental health sector, and we are looking for an individual who brings established fundraising and communications skills and who is looking for an opportunity for personal and professional growth.
The purpose of the Head of Fundraising and Communications role is to lead on implementing the Board of Trustees’ strategic objectives in increasing our fundraising capacity and income; developing our marketing capacity and reputation management so that we enjoy high levels of referrals and a higher sector profile both as a provider of services and as a training organisation; and to line manage CHT’s small existing fundraising and communications team.
