Expert Application Advice
What this role involves
You will coordinate water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions in Kitwe, managing field teams, liaising with local authorities, and ensuring timely delivery of WASH services in communities and schools. Day-to-day tasks include monitoring project budgets, reporting to donors, and leading needs assessments during emergencies.
Key skills to highlight
Proven experience in WASH project management in Zambia or similar contexts, including borehole drilling, latrine construction, and hygiene promotion. Strong budget oversight, donor reporting (e.g., to UNICEF, DFID), and team leadership in remote or peri-urban settings. Familiarity with Zambian government WASH policies and local languages (e.g., Bemba, Nyanja) is a plus.
Taf4All CV tip
List a concrete example of managing a WASH project in a resource-limited setting—e.g., “Reduced open defecation by 40% in 6 months through community-led total sanitation in Copperbelt Province.” Use metrics and local place names to show direct relevance to Kitwe.
Before you apply
Save the Children never charges fees for applications. Verify the posting on their official Zambia careers page or the UN job portal. Beware of requests for payment or personal banking details.
🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
