Five New Jobs at the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council

www.wsscc.org

Do you want to make a positive difference in the lives of some 2.5 billion people? Do you want to be part of a dynamic, Geneva-based team with colleagues spread across the planet who are intent on changing what the world thinks, feels, knows and does about sanitation? Then you should apply for one of the five new job posts at the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) secretariat. They include senior- and mid-level professional posts in our Networking/Knowledge Management and Advocacy/Communications departments, and mid-level posts in our Grants Management (Global Sanitation Fund) department.

We're growing because sanitation work itself is undergoing a transformation of epic proportions. It is changing from a minor, government-led, 'charitable' provision sector into a major, people-led, vibrant part of every day human life. Join us and you will help to improve tangibly the health, dignity, environment and economic well-being of 2.5 billion people without safe sanitation. Join us and you will help in achieving our mission of sanitation, hygiene and water supply for all people.
