Senior Policy Analyst – Health and Sanitation

Based in: Vauxhall, London
Salary: Salary starting from £41,133 pa

Want to make a difference?

Diarrhoea is the leading cause of deaths in Africa. And, sanitation is the most off-track MDG target in Africa. Simple or it should be. Why is a proven means of stopping these deaths consistently overlooked by governments and donors? Can you help WaterAid change this?

You will have a strong background in influencing official international development policy. You will bring formidable analytical skills and an ability to persuade others. We are particularly interested in candidates with a background in public and environmental health and/or international development policy.

If you think you have the answers and you have the skills to make change happen, this is the job for you.
