Careers

Project & Consortium Coordinator (S-ORGANICS)

Salary: £25,000 per annum (approx. GMD 200,000 per month)

Contract: 1 year

Closing Date: Monday 5th January 2026 – 5.30pm GMT.

Applicants will ideally be already based in The Gambia and must have the right to live and work in the country. From January 2025, WasteAid anticipates taking over the lead delivery role for the final year of the EU-funded S-ORGANICS project. This project seeks to reduce demand for, and reliance on, chemical-based fertilisers by increasing availability of, and demand for, a range of high quality locally produced organic fertilisers and composts including those derived from household and commercial organic waste sources. It is expected that the associated impact on agricultural practices will increase consumption of foods grown using organic inputs and subsequently have a positive impact on health.

Project Manager (South Africa)

Salary: £17,520 (approx. ZAR 35,000 per month)

Contract: 1 year, full time, with potential for renewal subject to funding

Closing Date: Monday 5th January 2026 – 5.30pm SAST

Applicants must have the right to live and work in South Africa and should already be based in/around Johannesburg as WasteAid cannot support relocation costs. WasteAid began working in South Africa in 2020 with the launch of the Circular Economy Network, a platform uniting industry, academia and waste practitioners to accelerate circular solutions. What started as an awareness initiative soon revealed a pressing need: supporting thousands of informal waste collectors to grow their micro-enterprises and become “Wastepreneurs” driving pollution reduction, job creation and circularity from the ground up.
