Jobs
Rekindle Supplementary school is proud to be partnering with the Oasis Charitable Trust to open our second, transformative provision at the stunning St. Martins in the Field building in Tulse Hill, South London.
Rekindle@Oasis St Martins Village will open later this year, Monday to Friday from 4- 7.30pm.
Rekindle will be part of a therapeutic village specialising in offering support to working class children who are struggling to thrive in their mainstream education.
We believe, ‘it takes a village to raise a child.’ and Rekindle will work collaboratively, alongside other like-minded organisations, based at the St. Martins in the Field building. United in our commitment to tirelessly support local young people and their families to reach their full potential.
To make this vision a reality we need an outstanding Youth Team Manager to join us on an interim basis of 12 months. As an experienced manager of a youth team provision or experienced youth worker, you will be passionate about driving excellence and facilitating young people to develop their talents.
We offer nurture and support to working class young people (aged 11 - 14) who have faced numerous challenges and a well-meaning but often erratic education system.
Our primary focus is to design an approach that offers care, support, connection, hope and aspiration. An approach that pushes young people to believe they can be more, but first establishes the solid foundations to catch them when they fall (and they will, often). An approach that first cares about what young people care about, where adults act as mentors and provide space for safe conversations that calm the raging fears of teenage minds.
We believe that a truly motivated and committed village can raise very special children and we intend to create an environment where young people believe they can soar, with the community support, cultural development and a curriculum that supports fierce critical thinking.
This is no ordinary school or educational establishment. We have a board of trustees all aged 18 - 30 years old who have shaped the vision, created the curriculum and who will oversee the process at every stage.
This is a fantastic opportunity to have a positive impact with an organisation by developing the curriculum. You will be a natural leader with awareness of the challenges facing working class young people and the current affairs that have an impact on them. You will be enthusiastic about facilitating change in South London and its future.

Summary
The newly scoped CEO role in our vision-focussed charity is one of many challenges. Despite having doubled its outputs in the last 2 years, the charity acknowledges there is still a great job of work to do to prepare itself for even greater demand in its services - without necessarily a proportionate increase in its budgets. This role is about leading and enabling the incredible team of people on to even greater levels of already-strong performance. So we're looking for an accomplished leader and not just a great manager. We're looking for someone who can lead from both the front - and from within. This will be someone who is as comfortable sitting and engaging with our beneficiaries - primarily homeless people and those with previous convictions, as they are creating and delivering highly polished, compelling public event and funder and stakeholder-focussed presentations. We are looking for someone who understands the balance of external and internal focus required to ensure both good governance and team wellbeing (as they work in often challenging circumstances) and the ambition to keep developing existing and new external partnerships. With a strong start to its ambitious Corporate Partnership programme, commercial and/or business experience is highly desirable as well as a proven track record in creating and optimising new funding channels.

Additionally, there are a wide range of community and external partner relationships to manage and develop.
