We have been dealing with this question for a while now without an easy answer. OEM/Grid Control is one answer already given here. Another is that you could write a fairly simple interface with APEX. Are you locked into using the Oracle scheduler? If not, there are centralized scheduling packages out there that you could use instead.

We control what's in the job.  They only schedule it, they don't create a job.  They are the ones who decide when to run these jobs.

The Oracle Scheduler (from 10g) has all the features needed except for the user interface (unless it's there but didn't see it).  We need a really simple one (on the web) that end users can use to schedule jobs (one-time job, recurrent job, etc).
