Researching information and data necessary for grants and grant reporting
Supporting the design of new projects
Supporting with proposal writing

Establishing and maintaining connections with funding bodies
You should be able to:
Professionally communicate in English (verbally and in writing)
Read, comprehend, interpret, summarise and follow proposal guidelines
Work to tight deadlines with flexibility and a problem-solving attitude;
Conduct thorough, high-quality, independent research
Work both independently and as part of a team
Manage and prioritise projects effectively to meet team and proposal deadlines

What We Offer:
A nurturing and collaborative working environment. We work hard to help our team members grow, investing in personal and professional development.
Accommodation in a shared house
Transportation to/from work
After completion of a three-month trial, if you commit long-term, a small monthly expenses refund
In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the shared houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the shared houses are full, this would allow us to offer an opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
Have experience leading a team of this type?
Consider applying to become a Grants Coordinator. Whether your experience lies in the humanitarian sector or elsewhere, we are looking for people with expertise that can drive us forward as an organisation.
Looking for an internship?
If, because of your degree or for any other reason, you would like to have your period at Second Tree credited as an internship, just apply to the vacancy that you’re interested in and mention this. We have agreements with several universities across Europe, and in many other cases, these agreements can be developed on an ad hoc basis.
NOTE: If you require a visa to stay in Greece for the minimum ten-week commitment, please know that as a Greek NGO, we are unable to sponsor your visa.
We challenge the biases that make us see refugees as “the other”. We change the way society perceives refugees, and refugees perceive society.
