Oxford Hub is a place-based charity that supports, equips, and empowers people to tackle inequalities of health, education and opportunity across Oxford, with a focus on where the need and opportunity to make a difference is greatest. We were set up by University of Oxford students in 2007 and have since evolved into a community charity, with our main hub in The Leys and our second office in Oxford city centre.

The trustee board and staff team are working together to appoint a new CEO or co-CEOs in what we believe to be one of the most interesting roles for social impact in Oxford. Oxford Hub is at an exciting moment, having developed an ambitious three-year strategy and moved into our new community hub in The Leys. The new CEO will have a strong base from which to get started, and the opportunity to shape the implementation of this strategy, evolving our work based on a collaborative approach in response to community needs.

This is not a traditional CEO role - we expect the right candidates to take a hands-on approach and to seek to share power with others in the organisation, the wider system, and the community. Because we are a place-based organisation, your role requires a broader leadership in the city, as well as internally within the Hub team.

The Hub has a strong focus on supporting the city as a whole, so you will have an outward perspective and foster our connections to other organisations, as well as supporting the team.

While Oxford Hub is in a strong position, with a high performing team and ambitious plans for the future, the social challenges that we are facing at a national and local level make our work more important than ever. In this role, you need to be able to achieve the strategic vision of the organisation, by focusing on the most impactful opportunities and building a strong set of partnerships to achieve broad-based action and systemic change.

The CEO role is part of a three-strong, experienced management team. Our work in communities is collective and collaborative, and we work to reflect that as part of our internal culture. In this role, you will work with everyone in the team, helping them to grow and succeed.

The role will suit someone who has experience in senior leadership roles, or someone who is ready for a challenge and would like to take on their first CEO role. 

Overall, you will be making things happen, developing activities to make a difference and working with the team to deliver those. You will need strong leadership skills to set a vision, communicate with a diverse range of stakeholders, and inspire others to take action.
