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 a Partnership and Communications Assistant to play a vital role in our mission to transform lives with safe water, sanitation and hygiene in the world's poorest communities.

Through the exciting HSBC Water Programme, launched in 2012, HSBC are supporting our work to deliver water to 1.1 million people and sanitation to 1.9 million people across six of our country programmes.

You will provide support for this five year programme, which is one of the biggest corporate partnerships in WaterAid's history.

Supporting the HSBC Water Programme Manager and Partnership Communications Manager, you will provide excellent partnership management, deliver exciting communications and develop opportunities to grow the partnership.

To be succesful you will need to be enthusiastic, flexible and highly organised, with exceptional attention to detail. Crucially you'll be an exceptional communicator whether producing newsletters or talking to our supporters.

This varied role is in the Corporate Partnerships Team within the Major Partnerships Department. The role may also from time to time provide administration support to the Corporate Partnerships Team Leader.

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.

Please note: in order to apply for this role you must be able to demonstrate your eligibility to work in the United Kingdom.
