People Service Desk Lead


If your workplace was joyful, positive, vibrant and supportive you’d jump out of bed eager to play your part every day. Right?


At Oasis, we’re looking to create a brand new HR Delivery team which puts exceptional customer service front and centre, so this is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced HR Delivery/People Services team lead to help shape and create this new support service in our UK wide organisation. Are you someone who takes pride in giving your colleagues an HR support service that is efficient and seamless, who brings oodles of enthusiasm to make all first encounters with the HR team a really positive experience, and who brings the energy to guide and motivate a new team? If so, we’d love to hear from you for this newly created role in which you’ll really be able to bring your personality and professional experience to the table.


Whilst a great culture and environment is hugely rewarding – we know you still seek more. So, we offer:

  • A package of reward that includes a very generous contributory pension, a cafeteria style benefits offer including Green Commute cycle to work scheme, health and dental, life insurance and more
  • A focus on wellbeing and personal development to help you thrive and grow
  • The opportunity to be part of a network of Oasis charities offering opportunities to develop your career in new directions and locations
  • A genuinely competitive salary and true flexibility to operate and contribute
  • And of course, a positive and motivational environment set up to ensure everyone is supported and included

Who are we?

At Oasis we exist to enable everyone to fulfil their potential – regardless of background, circumstance or label. We are unashamedly proud of what we bring to the communities in which we operate. Our story is told through a multi-faceted organisation that extends across support for homelessness and housing (Oasis Community Housing), secure education for young people (Oasis Restore), community hubs (OCL) and human trafficking (Stop The Traffik) and of course our network of 52 Oasis Academies (Oasis Community Learning). We are proud that we don’t just talk a good game – we actively engage and change lives for the better.

We’re creating a new People Service Desk team as part of our mission to deliver an ever-improving support HR service to our network of 53 schools that is educating over 25,000 young people across the UK every week. As the People Service Desk Lead, you’ll be a vital member of this team, building upon your previous HR Shared Service experience to oversee the delivery of an effective 1st line HR support service to our large Multi-Academy Trust operation. This is an opportunity to impact the evolution of a new team, but also to be part of an organisation that is playing a fundamentally key role in local communities across the UK.

There is a full job description attached and as an experience Service Desk lead you will know the expectations, but if you are great at the headlines below, we would love to hear from you.

• Lead, mentor and develop the People Services Desk team

• Ensure accurate and timely case management and query resolution,
