Raising our profile and reaching new audiences are key to us achieving our five-year strategy.

We need to let people know that a staggering 2.5 billion people live without sanitation, and that one in eight of the world’s population don’t have access to clean water - resulting in over two million deaths from water-related diseases every year.

How would you get people to listen?

As an award-winning global organisation, our ambitious new five-year strategy aims to double our income to £100m, allowing us to bring water and sanitation facilities to 25 million people by 2015. As our Head of Communications and brand champion, you will have a pivotal role – taking our communications function to the next level.

You will divide your time equally between UK-based work and worldwide projects and operate at every level with the public and media. And now we’re preparing to launch WaterAid International, you will be key to establishing this global brand as well as leading on global communications and strategy.

It’s a role that calls for diplomacy, drive, charisma, gravitas and credibility, a superlative track record in communications, and a genuine interest in overseas development.

Closing date: 22 September 2010
