Working together, we strengthen their physical safety, digital resilience, and collective wellbeing.

We focus on supporting green businesses and grassroots entrepreneurs to improve livelihoods, promote circular economy innovation, and contribute to a cleaner, healthier future for all. Our work primarily addresses waste pollution in areas without formal waste management systems.

With programmes currently in The Gambia, India, South Africa, and Uganda, we're making a significant impact with over 1.3 million people positively affected by our work.

The Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced and dynamic Director of Programmes to provide strategic management of our programme portfolio during an exciting phase of our organisation's evolution. This is a unique opportunity to shape the future of a growing international development organisation working at the nexus of environmental and development programming.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and implement WasteAid's programme strategy
• Lead programme development, creating pathways to scale our impact
• Ensure high-quality delivery and impact measurement across all projects
• Manage the programmes team and budget effectively
• Build relationships with key stakeholders and represent WasteAid externally

What We're Looking For

We seek a candidate with experience in international development programming, ideally with knowledge of environmental management and circular economy approaches. You should have proven ability to design and manage complex programmes, work with funders, and lead remote teams.

Package

• Salary: Circa £65K depending on experience

WasteAid's vision is a world where waste causes no harm, and people are empowered to recover its value.

We seek to appoint a community pioneer to launch ‘Earthed’, a new initiative that seeks to work across the Almondsbury and Severnside area (South Gloucestershire)

Earthed will seek to ensure that our rural areas are not overlooked or suffer from neglect. We understand that deprivation and need in rural areas can be as acute as is present in larger cities and towns. There is a lack of services and transport, and this can increase a sense of isolation and compound problems further. In providing spaces where people can gather, we begin to walk alongside people and share experiences. In sharing experiences people can become change makers in their stories. Lives can be transformed by being present, hope-filled and by amplifying the voices of those in these communities.

You would join a team of community pioneers that form the Flourish team. We are passionate about enabling spaces where people can share time, build relationships and explore new and different ways of experiencing God and faith. We are seeking a curious and creative individual who is willing to be open to new ways of working and thinking.

If you have a heart for working within rural communities and are interested in helping to develop spaces where people can share time and build relationships, then we would love to hear from you. This is an exciting but quirky and innovative role and requires the successful applicant to be open to exploration and experimentation. 

The successful applicant will be supported fully so they are free to wander and seek to respond to where God is calling. Applicants will be creative visionaries, who are resilient and able to respond to the challenges such a unique role will uncover.

Salary - £15,568
