The Wheel is seeking a skilled and motivated EU Funding Officer to join the team, reporting to the European Programmes Manager.
The Wheel’s European Programme aims to increase civil society’s engagement with and access to European funding and to promote active European citizenship in Irish communities through the support service Access Europe.
Access Europe delivers a range of activities, including a helpdesk, partnership support, information, training and events. The Wheel also delivers our own EU-funded projects and supports through the delivery of the European Parliament Ambassador Schools (EPAS) programme, an EU-wide initiative promoting parliamentary democracy and citizenship among young people.
Working closely with the European Programmes Manager and colleagues across the organisation, the EU Funding Officer will support the delivery of European Programme activities within The Wheel, aiming to increase sector organisations’ understanding of opportunities available and specifically support building their capacity to secure EU funding.
This contract (for a 36-hour week) will be offered for one year with the option to extend for a further two years. The pay band for Officer level posts in The Wheel is 36,000 EUR – 48,100 EUR (within the lower half of the band). The Wheel both offers and expects flexibility in terms of hours and location of work for a role such as this and the remuneration and benefits package offered reflects this. This role requires the post holder to attend in-person meetings in Dublin and elsewhere regularly.
