Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland Oakfield Trust Full time

Oakfield Trust is the trading name of Clondalkin Community Property CLG.
It was established in 1996 as a community based social enterprise with registered charity status (Charity Regulator Authority No: 20041861).
Its core charitable purpose is to provide a range of property-based services and related supports for community and local projects in marginalized areas and socially excluded communities.
In practical terms, our core trading activities consist of providing commercial properties which are all rented to tenants in the social enterprise and community sector.
Currently we have a portfolio of five properties in the Clondalkin area, three of which are owned and two leased.
Oakfield Trust Activities:
Oakfield Trust (OT) exists to act as a catalyst for social gain in areas of social exclusion (particularly local) through the provision of community & social enterprise facilities, services and supports.
It does this by:
(a) providing property facilities and services and
(b) using surpluses to support tenants, our community, and the wider social enterprise sector.
These supports are intended to provide projects with a secure platform to develop and succeed, and thereby benefit their communities.
It has also assisted local organisations with project development loans and grants and new-build project management.
In 2022, OT hired a Social Impact Manager to increase its activities in the social enterprise sector and launched its first social enterprise grants programme.
