For further information or to arrange a confidential discussion, please contact our advising consultant at Peridot Partners: If you would like to know more about this role please contact Bill Yuksel On behalf of the Trustees, we would like to welcome you to our search for a new CEO at Oasis Charity. While the organisation was established 30 years ago (we celebrate this milestone this year!), we have spent the last five years ensuring that the charity is financially stable, with a strong and experienced team in place and a programme of regular emotional wellbeing programmes in place. This is an exciting time for the charity. We want to build on the legacy of the founder, Caroline Edwards, and continue to drive this organisation forward. In order to do this, we need a CEO with drive, vision and an understanding of the values at the heart of the organisation. It is a very special place and one which is much loved in the community. We want to preserve the special nature of Oasis, while at the same time seeing the organisation flourish and grow. In the microsite, you will find a range of information about Oasis. We hope this gives you a good understanding of the organisation and what we are looking for in a CEO. With best wishes, Amna Boheim Chair of Trustees About Oasis Charity Oasis provides vital support to vulnerable families and children in Elmbridge and the surrounding areas. In crisis. Struggling to cope. No power to change your home environment. Being vulnerable is not limited to a particular social class. Financial hardship, abuse, addiction, physical and mental health illnesses can affect anyone at any time. Who are the most affected? Out of all, those most affected are the children. Those without a voice. The ones with no power to change their environment. Oasis aims to safeguard children and ensure they're in a loving, family environment. The Freedom Programme for Survivors of Domestic Abuse "The course has helped me gain knowledge and understanding which has helped me and given us a calm and loving home." "It made me feel less alone and that it wasn't my fault." "I feel empowered." "It was very helpful to have others talk to who are going through similar experiences. By doing group tasks and listening to others helped me gain a lot of knowledge and understanding about domestic violence". "I feel more relaxed and I'm dealing with my life better now, being able to see the light thanks to Oasis." "It made me believe in myself again." TFPFSDA feeback report 2022 and 2023 Fresh Foodbanks "This was an absolute godsend! The normal food banks mainly only provide tinned food and my two young children (7 and 2) will happily eat fresh healthy food but refuse tinned/dry food. So, without Oasis my kids would either have eaten very little or all of my budget would have been used up on basic food, no treats, no ice lollies on a hot day. But instead I could celebrate my son's birthday and treat him to a trip to the cinema, when it re-opened. People take these things for granted, but most of the time I go without in order to provide for my kids. Oasis gave me some dignity-so without it, everything becomes a sacrifice and it causes me anxiety and depression trying to make things 'good enough' when I don't have the means. With lockdown my son lost his free school meals adding extra to my food bill. The free school meal vouchers, when they arrived, could be used to buy new school uniform ready for the new school year as I had received the food from Oasis. Oasis has been an anchor without which my family would have been lost. I cannot thank them enough for sacrificing their holiday and time with their families to serve our community and the vulnerable people who use Oasis. To everyone who supports Oasis-thank you! You provide vital support to vulnerable families who otherwise might be forgotten. Families are healthier and happier because of you." "Can I first say that Caroline and her team at Oasis are doing a sterling job to provide the families in need in the Cobham and surrounding areas. I actually look forward to seeing the team every week, they are so friendly and helpful. We have great 'banter' which can be a much needed boost in these trying times. Next, I would like to add that their Covid system for safety for the public is second to none. Well done guys you're God sent. I would be in dire straits if Oasis was not there to offer their kind service to me and my two girls, for which I am eternally grateful." Fresh Foodbank Summer 2025 feedback report Christmas Gifts & Hampers "I have had health issues all year, followed by an operation at the end of October. Recovery took a while and I didn't think I would be able to do my disabled son a Christmas this year. Thanks to Caroline and Oasis, I was treated to the most amazing hamper full of Christmas goodies. This meant my son could stay and I didn't have to worry about trying to afford food. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make Christmas possible - you are all amazing." "I am a single mum of two fantastic girls, trying to make ends meet. To have the huge pressure and stress of making sure we have a lovely Christmas taken off my shoulders is something I can never thank you enough for. The hamper we so kindly received was exceptional, I was blown away as there was everything we needed to enjoy Christmas to our hearts' content, especially after the last two years of Covid, it seemed our worries went out of the window for the day and all thanks to the incredible team at Oasis - thank you." "Thank you so much cupboards are full to capacity. Our love to you all at Oasis - if it wasn't for you guys, Christmas would have been a minimal event. Now you've made the Christmas spirit come alive for all the family. Bless you." "Thank you so much for what you've done. My daughter can have a proper Christmas as she deserves after everything she's been through. I can't tell you what this means to me and how much pressure it takes off."
