Careers at WaterAid

WaterAid is an international not-for-profit, determined to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation.

Since we started in 1981, we’ve remained resolutely focused on tackling these three essentials that transform people’s lives. Without all three, people can’t live dignified, healthy lives. With all three, they can break free from poverty, unleash their potential and change their lives for good. Children grow up healthy and strong, women and men start small businesses, whole communities start to thrive. It sounds normal and it should be.

By inspiring people and sparking chain reactions we help deliver lasting change. By working closely with partners internationally and on the ground in some of the toughest places in the world, we have helped millions of people take control of their lives and build better futures.

Now we are working to get safe water, decent toilets and good hygiene to everyone, everywhere by 2030. It’s about more than installing taps, toilets, boreholes and wells. To make lasting change happen on a massive scale, we pool knowledge and resources, link policy makers with people on the ground, change attitudes and behaviours, rally support from people and organisations around the world and convince governments to change laws.

Together, we will change millions of lives for the better – and change normal for everyone, everywhere within a generation.

We strive to be an excellent employer and invest in our people to maximise our impact. We provide a competitive benefits package and a tailored learning and development plan for all employees.

Escape's take on WaterAid

WaterAid’s mission is to make clean water, decent toilets and good hygiene normal for everyone, everywhere by 2030. That’s a pretty hefty mission. While they might not achieve it, they’ll get a lot closer than most. Not only is their goal incredibly admirable, their people seem pretty happy too. They featured in the Escape 100 2022, and are a regular feature in The Sunday Times Best Companies to work for list.
