It's hard to believe that today 748 million people still don't have clean, safe water and 2.5 billion live without a toilet. The resulting diseases kill one child every minute.

WaterAid is looking for an Events Fundraising Officer – Mass Participation to play a vital role in our mission to transform lives with safe water, sanitation and hygiene in the world's poorest communities.

Working within the Community and Events team, the Events Fundraising Officer will be responsible for the development and delivery of WaterAid's mass participation events portfolio. Together with the Events Manager, you will develop two new events in 2015 and manage an existing mass participation event to deliver maximum value.

To be successful, you'll need to have experience of project managing bespoke mass participation fundraising events and developing new ideas. Alongside this, you should have enthusiasm and energy, and the proven ability to inspire supporters and communicate the difference their support makes. 

By 2030 we want everyone, everywhere to have clean water, sanitation and hygiene. We need you to help us make it happen. If you bring your expertise, passion and professionalism, we'll give you a lot back.  

Working with us, you will be entitled to a wide range of employee benefits, such as an exceptional pension fund, medical cash plans, an employee assistance programme, generous annual leave and Save As You Learn schemes, as well as fitness and lifestyle programmes.
