Being a small charity, the  Administration and Compliance Officer is responsible for a broad span of duties, but with the core role of ensuring the effective administration of the Trust’s office and all statutory compliance duties, acting as Secretary to the Board of Trustees, managing the ICT environment, supporting other staff and generally contributing to the effective management of the Trust’s business affairs and management of the London office.  

About the charity and the role:

Are you a talented, organised, good at balancing multiple tasks and prepared to work flexibly? Do you want to make a real difference to animals lives in Greece? Then think about coming to work for us! The position will require working mostly from our small office in London.

We at GAWF are seeking someone committed to animal welfare with a broad experience of administration, finance and charity compliance requirements. We would like someone who is self-motivated and who can help us develop and improve our business approach to help increase our income from supporters, manage our business affairs and support our small team of staff and contractors as well as support the Board of Trustees in their governance role. We are happy to consider applicants with transferable skills who can learn on the job.

As a UK-based charity operating in Greece since 1959, GAWF’s purpose is ‘the prevention and relief of cruelty and suffering amongst animals in Greece’. We’re the longest serving animal charity operating nationally in the country.  We support and do ‘hands on’ work for stray cats and dogs in many locations, aiming to control stray populations and bringing relieving treatment to animals on small islands and remote locations that don’t have access to a vet, while our Equine Team is unique in Greece, travelling across the country to offer quality professional help to hundreds of working mules, horses and donkeys that would suffer in silence with every step they take without us.  We lead by example, using the way we care for animals to educate and inspire, encouraging changes in attitudes at every level of Greek society.  Our range of education programmes, aimed at both adult owners of animals and the young, have helped make real change happen and although we have seen improvements over the years we know there is still a lot that needs to be done before Greece becomes a country in which the quality of animals’ lives really matters to people.

The Greek Animal Welfare Fund (GAWF) is a charitable company limited by guarantee registered in England and Wales. Our registered office is at 51 Borough High Street, London, SE1 1NB. GAWF operates in Greece through its non-profit subsidiary Animal Action Hellas (AAH) with a registered office of Falireos 43, Neo Faliro 18547, Piraeus, Greece. GAWF funds and directs the activities of AAH through its Board of Directors / Trustees and its Director of operations.
