It’s hard to believe that today over 650 million people still don’t have clean, safe water and over 2.3 billion live without a toilet. In Lesotho alone, over 300 children die every year from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water and poor sanitation.
WaterAid is looking for a Finance and Administration Assistant (3 year fixed-term contract) to play a vital role in our mission to transform lives with safe water, sanitation and hygiene through supporting our pilot programme in Lesotho.
Based in Maseru, the role is expected to provide support in all financial management and administration activities for the Lesotho programme to ensure compliance with WaterAid’s financial and administration policies and procedures, and ensure smooth functioning of the Maseru office. Reporting directly to the Lesotho Team Leader, the role will also have a strong professional relationship with the Southern African Regional Office Finance Manager based in Pretoria to ensure effective management of all financial matters of the Lesotho programme.

To be successful, you’ll need at least a diploma in Accountancy or an equivalent qualification, accompanied by relevant practical accounting experience of not less than two years. Some level of organisational and administrative experience will be an added advantage. Good attention to detail and the ability to deal with multiple demands at the same time will be required. You’ll also need to demonstrate you eligibility to work and live in Lesotho.
By 2030 we want everyone everywhere to have clean water, sanitation and hygiene. We need you to help us make it happen. If you bring your expertise, passion and professionalism, we’ll give a lot in return. We offer a competitive salary, pension provision, medical coverage, generous leave, and a 13th cheque.
