We are a growing federation with member countries in America, Australia, Canada, India, Sweden and the UK, with others on the horizon. WaterAid international has a small secretariat which draws on the resources of these member countries, allowing a collaborative approach, a lean cost base, and an ability to focus on WaterAid’s ambitious global mission.

With a strong commitment to our mission, you will bring senior leadership experience and a collaborative approach to facilitate integrated working across the federation.
This is an exciting time to join WaterAid, as we implement our 2015-2020 Global Strategy with a vision of everyone everywhere having access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene by 2030.
