Water scarcity is an urgent issue right here, right now, right across the UK - consistent record-breaking high temperatures and low rainfall, and recurring drought, show how climate change and population growth are already putting our water resources under severe pressure, and this challenge is growing. Water efficiency has to be a big part of the solution, and we support and challenge governments, industry, customers and others to be innovative and ambitious on water efficiency. Our work includes campaigns, events, media, policy and regulatory influencing, research projects, stakeholder engagement and services such as Waterwise Training and the Waterwise Checkmark. We are funded by supporters across and beyond the UK water sector. Our Waterwise Strategic Direction to 2030, published in August 2022, tells you a bit more about us. Our UK Water Efficiency Strategy to 2030 tells you a bit more about our ambition.
At Waterwise we put staff wellbeing first, and our staff surveys show that our team knows, feels and appreciates this. Our values are
Purpose: We will deliver independent and ambitious leadership to drive social and political change on water efficiency

Successful applicants will need to be passionate, creative and talented, with an interest in being on the cutting edge of innovation and delivery in the student movement. You must be an effective communicator to develop and maintain strong working relationships with our members and stakeholders.

As an organisation, we have an agile working programme which supports staff working from home. However, regular working each week is required onsite (minimum 3 days per week) and flexibility to meet additional business need is required, for example at certain times of the year on campus delivery may be required every day during busy student events (Welcome / Graduation etc). There may be some infrequent weekend and evening working for which time off in lieu will be given.
We have a flexible approach and are open to applications from candidates that may require some variation to the contracted hours or hybrid arrangements (although this is not a fully remote role and a minimum of 30 hours / 4 days is required).
