Are you a Human Resources practitioner looking for your next challenge, and passionate about building community and creating social change? We are looking for an HR Business Partner who can help develop our people and teams, supporting a positive culture built on our relationships, vision, and ethos.
Oasis exists to create healthy thriving communities and reduce exclusion, through a holistic approach to community development and social innovation. Our work is centred in local communities where we provide education; youth, children and families work; and community services.

Oasis’ work and mission has grown rapidly in the last decade. We are looking to recruit a HR Business Partner to help us move into our next phase of growth and build the capacity of our Oasis Operations Team.
This is a new and integral position in our charity, so you will need solid employee relation experience and employment law knowledge, to advise managers confidently. Working as part of the established Operations Team, you will also input into finance and budgets, recruitment at senior levels, and developing our policies in line with our ethos and 9 Habits. It’s a bit of everything, which is what makes this role exciting and a great opportunity for someone who is eager to get hands-on experience in working on the People Strategy of a national charity. As part of the wider Oasis family you will be well supported; being able to work collaboratively with different teams and functions, as well as managing your own workload, is essential.
While we envisage the ideal candidate would have a relevant HR qualification, we recognise that as a people professional, a candidate may bring extensive experience, creativity, and wisdom in this field, instead. We are looking for applicants who demonstrate that they align with the Oasis ethos and values. So, if you are interested in this role but aren’t sure, please do contact us for a confidential discussion. We would love to hear from you!
For your expertise and commitment, Oasis can offer:
· A truly supportive network and family of staff in a motivating working environment.
· A non-contributory defined benefit pension scheme with 7% Employer contributions.
· 25 days annual leave (plus Bank Holiday), rising to 33 days over time (pro rata for part-time)
· A Cycle to Work scheme and eligibility to join a cashplan healthcare scheme.
· The opportunity to be part of a movement making positive change in communities.
For further information or to apply, please go to the Oasis UK charity website.
Completed applications should be returned by 9am Friday 2nd August 2024.
Final interviews will take place in London on Wednesday 14th August 2024. Please submit your CV and covering letter at your earliest convenience. In your covering letter, please answer the following three questions:
1. With all the HR opportunities available, what inspires you about this role and what is your motivation for applying with Oasis in particular?
2. Please give examples that demonstrate you have the personal qualities, experience, and skills required for this role. Please highlight your experience in previous HR roles, and detail examples of where you have been successful in making an impact in terms of developing people and advising management. You may not have equal experience in all areas (of a wide-ranging brief) so please highlight what you consider to be the areas of strength or particular experience that you’ve gained to date.
3. After researching the Oasis ethos and 9 Habits, do any of these stand out to you? How might you incorporate them in your daily work and practice?
We actively encourage applications from people of all ethnic backgrounds and minority and underrepresented groups. If you require any assistance to overcome potential barriers, please let us know. Oasis is committed to making a difference to the lives of the communities it works in, and as such you must show a willingness to demonstrate commitment to the values and behaviours which flow from the Oasis ethos.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. We expect all staff to share this commitment and to undergo appropriate checks, including enhanced DBS checks. The successful candidate will need to show proof of right to work in the UK.
Oasis supports Equal Opportunities. Registered Charity No. 1026487

This is an exciting new role to build upon the recognition of our achievements to date, by elevating the awareness of the Trust and our many partners. We expect that National Geographic will release their documentary in Autumn 2024 about Shackleton and the expedition organized by the Falklands Maritime Heritage Trust that found the wreck of Endurance in the Weddell Sea. This is likely to lead to heightened awareness of and interest in our work, which will appeal to applicants with a real interest in maritime heritage and, ideally, the Falkland Islands and/or the South Atlantic/Southern Ocean.
As COO you will serve as the first point of contact representing FMHT in, we envisage, an increasingly high-profile public manner. You will report to the Chair of Trustees, working collaboratively with the Trustees. You will also collaborate with a variety of charities, institutions and agencies, all with shared interests in our work.
We are seeking an energetic ‘all-rounder’ - a proven leadership professional who will roll their sleeves up and deliver. You will have outstanding communication and liaison skills, be skilful in raising funds and engaging sponsors together with sound financial and contract management experience. Drawing from your previous experience you will help to design, implement and deliver our operational and commercial objectives. Highly self-motivated, you will possess the vision, energy and drive to help create and to implement sustainable strategies for the Trust.

The Equal Rights Trust is looking for a Research and Collaboration Coordinator to help us as we work to support those working on the frontlines of the fight against discrimination.
About the Equal Rights Trust
At the Equal Rights Trust, our vision is an equal world: a world in which everyone – irrespective of their identity, status or beliefs – can participate in every area of life on an equal basis. We work towards this vision by addressing one of the root causes of inequality: discrimination. We do this through the law. Our mission is to work in partnership to support the development, adoption, implementation and use of equality laws.
In 2023, following consultation with equality activists, academics and advocates across the globe, we launched our new strategic plan, Equal in Dignity: Equal in Rights. This plan sees us focus on addressing four “gaps” which prevent the realisation of the rights to equality and non-discrimination. Now, we’re working with the UN Human Rights Office to support equality movements in places like Armenia, Brazil and Korea as they work to secure the adoption of new equality laws. With academics and other experts, we’re driving legal innovation, examining how to improve the implementation of equality laws and how to develop equality law in response to emerging challenges, such as the growing use of AI and the climate crisis. And we’re supporting other civil society organisations to use equality law and integrate an equality by design approach in their work.

The Cleft Lip and Palate Association (CLAPA) is the national charity for people affected by cleft lip and palate in the United Kingdom.
CLAPA supports people affected by cleft to take control of their journey, connect with others, and use their voices to impact the future of care. Our vision is that no one affected by cleft lip and palate in the United Kingdom will go through their journey alone.
We are looking for a Content Coordinator to join our small but dynamic communications team.
As CLAPA’s Content Coordinator, you’ll be responsible for publishing a steady stream of stories, blogs and other engaging content on our website and other platforms.
The UK cleft community is full of fantastic stories waiting to be told, and you’ll be there to sensitively support people of all backgrounds to share these stories with your insightful questions and top-notch editing abilities. You’ll be comfortable talking to everyone from school-age children to NHS cleft surgeons to get the kind of content that will inspire and engage our community.
You’ll be our go-to writer when a new resource needs to be drafted or edited, and you’ll enjoy the challenge of adapting your writing to different briefs and communicating complex ideas to people of all ages and abilities. This is a brand new role to meet rising demand within the team, so you will have a real opportunity to make the role ‘yours’. You’ll have the freedom to try new things, share ideas, learn from feedback, and work with others to solve problems. While you’re expected to be proactive in fulfilling key tasks, you’ll be fully trained and supported in every aspect of your work by the Head of Impact.
Our ideal candidate is a creative and confident writer who shares our values and our staff team’s dedication to supporting the UK cleft community.
Our outgoing Communications Officer in March 2024 had this to say about their role:
“CLAPA is hugely encouraging to new ideas and brings out the best of your strengths whilst providing the support to develop and grow. I have never worked for such a friendly, caring, hardworking team that is incredibly proud to deliver our services to the cleft community. […] Do not hesitate to apply if you want to feel part of a positive and supportive charity filled with dedicated and talented colleagues!”
