Who we are
Unlimit Health is an international organisation working to end parasitic disease. We work closely with affected countries, sharing evidence and expertise to eliminate preventable infections. Our purpose is to support people to live healthy lives, free from limiting disease.
Our vision is for resilient systems that sustain good health, so everyone everywhere can reach their full potential. We achieve this by working across multiple sectors in numerous countries to deliver effective and robust health programmes that have a lasting impact.

- Cross-sectoral health systems strengthening
- Building collaborative partnerships
Our main area of focus is the elimination of schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases (intestinal worms). Endemic infections of these parasitic worms are found in some of the world’s most marginalised communities, and they can have a hugely detrimental effect on individuals, including:

- Increased risk of HIV in women
- Infertility
The role
The Associate Technical Advisor will support project management and provision of technical assistance to endemic country governments across a portfolio of NTD projects, with a focus on schistosomiasis (SCH) and soil-transmitted helminthiases (STH). Working with Deputy Directors and Technical Advisors within the Technical Team, the Associate Technical Advisor will contribute to planning and delivery of NTD programming, monitoring of progress and project outcomes, and reporting.
Having excellent communication, the Associate Technical Advisor will have technical knowledge of global health issues and ideally also the control and elimination of neglected tropical diseases and will support the wider team in working respectfully and in partnership with our colleagues globally. The Associate Technical Advisor will ideally also have experience working in sub-Saharan Africa and effectively managing daily priorities in a flexible and adaptable manner.

Please consider applying even if you do not fully meet our essential criteria. We are happy to schedule an informal chat to discuss the role further prior to submitting an application.

Thank you!
We’re on the look out for a new member of our team, a new member of our Executive Team, and someone that is going to be part a key part of this inspirational organisation, We Are Survivors.
Could you be our new Criminal Justice Services Director?
Are you the person that wants to lead an amazing team of therapists working both outside in the community and inside prison and secure settings?
Do you want to inspire a team of ISVAs, the first male focused ISVA team in the UK to do more for those victims/survivors in the criminal justice process as the system across England and Wales is straining?
Do you, like us, think that every person has the capacity to create change and so want to be part of an organisation that is not only ground breaking but now the largest male victim/survivor organisation in the UK?
The Criminal Justice Services Directorate is an incredibly important part of our organisation, delivering services in the community and in secure settings including Prisons, with a range of individuals and groups that have all been impacted by sexual harms (including sexual abuse, rape and sexual exploitation, or boys and men) alongside the impact on their families and friends.
Over the past 15+ years we have grown as an organisation, both physically and metaphorically, and we’re now supporting approximately 2,500 male survivors every single year across all our services in the Community Services Directorate and the Criminal Justice Services Directorate. The current state of the criminal justice system, the difficulties in the mental health system, the cost of living and other societal pressures will make the next few years both challenging and fascinating and you could get to help shape our local and regional response, along with influencing the national discussion on tackling sexual and domestic abuse, gender-based violence, and the ever-growing prison population.
This role is one that will give you the opportunity to use your:
- strategic planning skills;
- systems leadership experience;
- people management and influencing; and
- governance and performance leadership.
You’ll work with the Community Services Director and the Operations Director, and alongside the Deputy Chief Executive Officer to be part of the Executive Leadership team; whilst supporting and working with the Chief Executive Officer to ensure we make our vision a reality.
