Thank you for considering the position of Trustee with Wandsworth Oasis, we warmly invite you to review the following Trustee Profile, and to contact us using the details below if you have any questions or would like to express interest in joining our team.

About Wandsworth Oasis
Wandsworth Oasis is a charity whose retail activity generates funds to support people affected by HIV. Following its 2025 retail restructure, the charity operates a four-shop estate and is developing a streamlined independent operating model, alongside potential strategic alliances with aligned HIV-sector organisations. Trustees have an important role in providing strategic oversight, safeguarding the charity's resources and ensuring that its charitable impact remains central to decision-making.

The role
Trustees are both charity trustees and company directors. Collectively, the Board is responsible for the governance, strategic direction and stewardship of Wandsworth Oasis. Trustees are expected to act in the charity's best interests, exercise independent judgement, contribute constructively to collective decisions and provide appropriate support and challenge to the senior leadership of the organisation.

Key responsibilities
•    Governance and compliance: Ensure that Wandsworth Oasis complies with its governing document, charity and company law, and other relevant legal and regulatory requirements.
•    Strategic oversight: Contribute to the charity's strategic direction, priorities and long-term sustainability, including scrutiny of plans, budgets, performance and major organisational changes.
•    Financial stewardship and risk: Protect the charity's assets and financial sustainability; understand financial information; oversee reserves, liquidity and key risks; and ensure resources are used to further the charity's purposes.
•    Leadership oversight: Hold senior leadership to account for delivery within delegated authority, while providing constructive support, challenge and appropriate oversight.
•    Board participation: Prepare for, attend and contribute actively to quarterly Board meetings and other agreed meetings, discussions and decisions between meetings. 
•    Collective decision-making: Use relevant skills, knowledge and experience to help the Board reach sound, evidence-based decisions, while respecting collective responsibility once decisions are made.
•    Safeguarding, people and culture: Promote appropriate safeguarding, wellbeing, equality, inclusion and organisational culture, and ensure that relevant policies and controls are in place.
•    Reputation and charitable impact: Protect the reputation of Wandsworth Oasis and maintain focus on its charitable purposes, beneficiaries and impact.

Candidate profile

Personal qualities - essential
•    Commitment to Wandsworth Oasis's charitable purpose and to reducing HIV-related stigma.
•    Integrity, sound judgement and willingness to act in the best interests of the charity.
•    Generosity with time, skills and support, including willingness to contribute between formal meetings when required.

•    Self-awareness and an ability to recognise where further information, advice or development is needed.
•    Willingness to challenge constructively and to be challenged, while working towards effective collective decisions.
•    Openness to organisational change and the ability to consider different perspectives objectively.
•    Commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.

Skills - essential
•    Strategic thinking, including the ability to consider long-term sustainability, risk and organisational impact.
•    Ability to scrutinise information, ask effective questions and reach evidence-based decisions.
•    Collaborative leadership and the ability to work constructively with fellow trustees and senior staff.
•    Good communication skills and confidence contributing to Board discussions.
•    Ability and willingness to understand financial information sufficiently to discharge trustee responsibilities.

Knowledge and experience - desirable
•    Previous charity, company or other governance experience. Prior trustee experience is welcome but not essential.

•    Understanding of the responsibilities of trustees of a charitable company.

Current context and recruitment priorities
Wandsworth Oasis is entering an important period of organisational development.

New trustees will therefore need to be comfortable providing oversight during a period of change and contributing actively to the Board's collective capacity.
 
Appointments will be made against an agreed Board skills and diversity assessment rather than solely against a fixed professional background.

•    Attend quarterly Trustee meetings and additional strategy, induction or extraordinary meetings where reasonably required.
•    Read papers in advance and participate in decisions and communications between meetings.
•    Undertake induction and relevant ongoing governance training.

Community Fundraising Officer - Dystonia UK

Salary: £28,000 - £34,000 per annum
Location: Hybrid, with 1-2 days per week in the London office
Contract: Full-time

Join a small charity where your ideas can shape the future.

Charity People is delighted to be partnering with Dystonia UK to recruit a new Community Fundraising Officer to join their team.

For more than 40 years, Dystonia UK has been supporting people living with dystonia and campaigning to improve awareness and understanding of the condition. As the charity continues to grow, they're looking for an energetic and ambitious fundraiser to help take their community fundraising programme to the next level.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who already has some fundraising experience and is ready for the next step. Perhaps you're in your first fundraising role and looking for greater ownership, more responsibility and the chance to develop your skills across multiple income streams. If so, this could be a fantastic new role.

Community Fundraising Officer

You'll join a close-knit and highly collaborative fundraising team, working across a broad portfolio of community fundraising activity.

This is an incredible role where no two days look the same. One day you might be supporting London Marathon participants to maximise their fundraising, planning cheer points and supporter stewardship journeys. The next may be helping to develop communications, creating fundraising resources, supporting challenge events, or working with community supporters who are organising fundraising activities in their local area.

Community fundraising is a key area of growth for the charity, and you'll play an important part in helping to build and develop this programme. You'll have the opportunity to test new ideas, identify opportunities and contribute directly to future fundraising plans.

The charity currently supports a busy calendar of challenge events and community activity, including a growing portfolio of runners, fundraisers and supporters who need excellent stewardship and encouragement to succeed.

For someone who enjoys variety, creativity and relationship-building, this role offers plenty of scope to make your mark.

About You

We're looking for someone with energy, initiative and a genuine enthusiasm for fundraising.

You may already have some experience in community fundraising, individual giving, events or supporter engagement, and be ready to take on a broader role with more autonomy. Equally, you might have developed transferable skills elsewhere within the charity sector and be looking for the opportunity to grow.

You'll likely bring:

• Some experience of fundraising, supporter engagement or relationship management
• Excellent communication skills and confidence building relationships with a wide range of people
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple projects at once
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach
• Creativity and a willingness to bring forward new ideas
• The confidence to work independently while being part of a supportive team

Most importantly, you'll be someone who enjoys working in a small, close knit organisation, likes to take ownership and wants to develop your fundraising career.

Why Join Dystonia UK?

This is the kind of role where you'll gain exposure to far more than community fundraising alone. Working within a small team means you'll have the opportunity to build experience across fundraising, communications, supporter stewardship and income generation. You'll have the freedom to contribute ideas, shape projects and see the direct impact of your work.

The team is ambitious, supportive and highly flexible, with core hours of 10am-4pm and a hybrid working approach. The fundraising team typically comes together in the office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, creating opportunities for collaboration while maintaining flexibility around home working.

Perhaps most excitingly, the organisation is looking for someone who wants to grow with them.

If you're looking for a role where you'll be trusted, supported and given room to grow, we'd love to hear from you.

If this role motivates and inspires you, please contact Kevin for further information and details on how to apply.

• Strong relationship-building and stakeholder management skills.
• Experience leading teams and developing colleagues.
• An understanding of governance and committee structures.
• The ability to work strategically while remaining comfortable with operational delivery.

You'll join an organisation with a clear sense of purpose, work with highly committed volunteers and members, and play a key role in delivering projects that support the future of the profession.
