Job Details

They are looking to recruit people for our Youth Programme, for a minimum commitment of 10 weeks. The Youth Programme works with young refugees and asylum seekers in the Epirus region of Northern Greece, providing them with a sense of community and experiences that they wouldn’t otherwise receive!

There are some specific applicant requirements, however the most important is to have a strong desire to work with young refugees and have the commitment to improve the situation for them here in Greece. Second Tree works in a transparent way in a challenging and changeable situation on the field; therefore, an ability to learn quickly and be open to feedback is vital.

They are looking to recruit people that are open to filling one (or more) of the following roles within our Youth Programme. Whilst these should guide applications, the roles often overlap and are interchangeable. Imagination and flexibility is encouraged when applying: let them know your suggestions on how we can use your skills!

The roles range across:

Children’s English Teacher: responsible for the planning and delivery of the programme’s English classes. Classes focus on low level English learning and must be fun and engaging. TEFL/equivalent experience is preferable, but not essential.
Excursion Lead: responsible for the planning and leading of weekend excursions, a highlight of the programme for participants! Excursions require an organised, methodical planner who is engaging and confident leading groups of children.
Workshop Lead: responsible for facilitating workshops that can be either thematic, reinforcing the vocabulary learned in English class to make it more practical and interactive, or focused on social and emotional learning, helping students develop their self-awareness through creative and mindful activities, or touch upon any scientific/mathematical knowledge the teacher might bring.

No matter the role(s) filled, team members are expected to help plan, prepare and participate in various community engagement activities such as: picnics, community excursions, sporting events, etc.

Additional Benefits

What do they offer?

A nurturing and collaborative working environment. They work hard to help their 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 them know. They would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the shared houses are full, this would allow them to offer an opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.

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. They have agreements with several universities across Europe, and in many other cases, these agreements can be developed on an ad hoc basis.

Requirements

You should be able to:

Be consistent with your application of behaviour management techniques
Be honest and transparent; be able to give and receive feedback in the most straightforward way
Manage a wide range of tasks and intense workload effectively and efficiently
Communicate in English, both written and orally
Deliver programme activities and carry out administrative and logistical tasks
Plan and deliver effective and dynamic educational activities
Care for people: the interests of the people we work with should always be your first concern

The ideal candidate will have:

Experience with young children and teenagers in educational and leisure activities
Experience working as a Scout leader or a leadership role in other such youth activities
Experience working in the refugee context
