We are looking for team players who are also able to work independently. We need people who are patient, professional, and prepared to respect the pre-existing systems and code of conduct we’ve developed over the years to make our services as fair and smooth-running as possible, but who can also bring new, fresh ideas, energy, and enthusiasm.

Our timetable and each volunteer’s role vary depending on day-to-day needs. For this reason, an open mind and a flexible approach to work are essential.

You may assist with:

• Reception shifts;
• Facilitating recreational activities,
• Cleaning and maintenance of our spaces,
• Teaching classes,
• Translation (if applicable),
• Distributing clothing in our warehouse and/or free shop,
• Sorting and stocking our Non-Food Item donations,
• Other tasks depend on our projects and needs.

Requirements

• Two months minimum commitment, but preferably longer, due to the nature of our work
• Can communicate in English
• Over the age of 20
• A working phone with WhatsApp
• Self-funded: this includes organising and covering the costs of your own transport, living costs, and activities outside of our projects. (For more information, see our Travel & Accommodation page)
• We accept researchers or interns on an ad hoc basis; please be very clear in your application what it is you intend to do, and be aware that Samos Volunteers can only offer limited added supervision and paperwork
