WaterAid Regional Technical Adviser South Asia Region

Salary: Starting from £36,032
Location: London or other WaterAid in UK country locations in the South Asia Region.

Join our team and you’ll help us build on what we've achieved in our 30-year history – changing the way people think about water and sanitation, and putting these issues higher on the agenda than they've ever been.

In this way, you'll help us transform the lives of millions of Asia's most vulnerable people, as you bring about change that's never been seen in the region before.

Providing us with technical expertise:

• Your work will be pivotal to our overall success. It will be your challenge to raise our overall standards of technical competence and to make sure we're reflecting national and global best practice in everything we do.
• You'll also act as a source of expert advice for our senior programme staff, and will work closely with partner organisations to expand our knowledge.

With a Masters in a WASH-related field, you'll have:

• An in-depth technical knowledge of either water, sanitation or hygiene.
• Specifically, you'll need to be aware of WASH projects in low-income countries, and the challenges involved in designing, developing and delivering them.
• A skilled networker, you'll have a background of managing consultants and carrying out operational planning. This role requires extensive travel.
