CHIEF EXECUTIVE
Kairos Community Trust
London |  £75,000 subject to experience

Lead an organisation where community, practical support and a belief in change help people rebuild their lives.

For more than three decades, Kairos Community Trust (Kairos) has stood alongside people affected by addiction and homelessness, offering the structured services, relationships and opportunities that make recovery possible. As Chief Executive, you will lead an organisation with strong roots, committed people and a clear understanding that nobody should be defined by their past.

The opportunity

You will be joining Kairos at an important point in its journey. The organisation has a proud history, a distinctive community ethos and services that make a tangible difference. The opportunity now is to protect what makes Kairos special while bringing the confidence, vision and drive needed for its next chapter.

This role offers real breadth. You will have the space to shape strategy, strengthen financial sustainability, develop partnerships and income, support an experienced team and ensure people with lived experience have genuine voice, choice and influence. You will also work with an engaged Board that wants the next Chief Executive to bring openness to innovation, honest challenge and inclusive leadership.

For the right person, this is the chance to combine strategic leadership with meaningful human impact. You will see the difference the organisation makes and have the opportunity to extend that impact to more people.

About Kairos

Kairos began with the Kilburn Night Shelter, established in 1988 to support people experiencing homelessness. Its early development brought together people from different Christian traditions. As the work developed, a stronger focus on the need for recovery, rehabilitation and supported housing emerged. Founded in 1991, it became Kairos Community Trust in 1994.

Today, Kairos is an independent and inclusive charity. People of all faiths and none are welcomed. What unites the organisation is a shared commitment to dignity, recovery, mutual care and the belief that change is possible.  This focus, alongside its organic historic development, is the foundation of its ethos.

The Board and staff team include people with a range of religious beliefs and non-religious worldviews, alongside varied cultural backgrounds and lived experiences. This breadth of perspective strengthens Kairos and supports informed, compassionate decision making.

The role

As Chief Executive, you will be accountable to the Board for the leadership, performance and long-term sustainability of Kairos. You will be visible and approachable, equally comfortable discussing strategy with trustees and funders, supporting colleagues across services and listening carefully to the people Kairos exists to serve.
•    Provide inclusive strategic leadership and clear organisational direction, translating strategy into practical priorities and measurable impact.
•    Provide clear, inclusive and supportive leadership and line management, nurturing an inclusive culture in which colleagues and volunteers can contribute, learn and thrive.
•    Develop sustainable funding and responsible income opportunities, maintaining proportionate financial controls and supporting long-term organisational sustainability.
•    Build trusted relationships with funders, partners and the wider community.
•    Ensure that services are safe, effective, financially sustainable and shaped around the rights, aspirations and outcomes of the people we support.
•    Provide the Board with timely advice, clear reporting and support for effective governance.
•    Raise the profile and influence of Kairos across statutory, voluntary and community sectors.
•    Oversee development and maintenance of the charity’s housing stock.
•    Work with managers in the application of relevant legislation and regulation.

The person we are looking for

You will be an experienced, thoughtful and compassionate leader who combines strategic leadership with sound operational oversight. Substantial experience of strategic or senior leadership in a relevant environment, such as a charity, social enterprise, housing, homelessness, recovery, health, social care or community organisation. Evidence may have been gained through different professional or community routes.

You do not need to have followed one particular career path. Experience in homelessness, addiction, housing, health, social care or community services would be valuable, but we are equally interested in the quality and transferability of your leadership skills. What matters is that you can demonstrate:
•    Strategic and operational leadership in a complex, purpose led organisation.
•    Strong financial judgement and the ability to support long-term organisational sustainability.
•    Experience of leading and developing people through change.
•    The confidence to build relationships, influence others and create opportunities.
•    A collaborative approach to governance and a constructive relationship with a Board.
•    A genuine commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion and valuing lived experience.
•    A credible, reflective and accountable leader who invites challenge and learns from feedback.

Salary and package

Salary: £75,000 subject to experience
Access to a company car or alternative travel arrangements will be considered where appropriate.

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.
•    Openness to learning and continuing development as a trustee.
•    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.
•    Experience relevant to one or more of the Board's current skills priorities, which may include charity governance, finance, retail, commercial strategy, HR/organisational change, legal/regulatory matters, property, fundraising/partnerships, HIV or health-sector services, or communications.
•    Experience of organisational transformation, restructuring, strategic partnerships or alliance working.
•    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. The Board has selected a modified independent operating model as its preferred strategic direction in principle, subject to affordability, implementation readiness and sufficient governance and leadership capacity. 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.

Commitment and practical requirements
•    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.
•    Declare and appropriately manage conflicts of interest.
•    Comply with the charity's Code of Conduct and relevant governance policies.
•    Be eligible to act as a charity trustee and company director and complete any required identity, declaration and due-diligence checks.
