WASH Cluster Coordinator & Assessment Specialist Opportunities | Global WASH Cluster | Apply by 11 October 2026

Overview

Action Contre la Faim France is inviting consultants to support the Global WASH Cluster (GWC) Operational Support through the Field Support Team (FST) project. The call seeks one Assessment Specialist and two WASH Cluster Coordinators for the Operational Support Core Team. It also creates a roster of experienced specialists who may be considered for future time-bound surge assignments. The Field Support Team assists National WASH Coordination Platforms in humanitarian contexts through in-country deployments, virtual assistance, a helpdesk, remote technical support, global services, tools and capacity strengthening.

The Assessment Specialist may support the collection and analysis of information on WASH needs, gaps, risks and priorities, work with stakeholders, review assessment information and help develop or use assessment tools. WASH Cluster Coordinators support coordination among humanitarian organisations working in water, sanitation and hygiene, which may include joint planning, information sharing, needs analysis, response monitoring and identifying operational gaps. Selected specialists may join the roster for later surge assignments based on the Field Support Team's operational needs.

Who can apply

The call is for experienced professionals with 5 to 9 years of experience in areas such as humanitarian response, WASH, cluster coordination, assessments, programme management or information management.
