The work of the United Nations touches lives in every corner of the globe and our daily operations are complex, multifaceted and extended directly and indirectly to our 192 Members States.聽 In the last decade, the United Nations has increased its field-based operations (peace-keeping, humanitarian and conflict prevention) with 60 per cent of its 40,000 staff working away from Headquarters in locations all over the world. The United Nations wants people with integrity who are dynamic, pro-active, flexible and responsive.
Career opportunities can be found both in the field and at established duty stations at different levels within our job networks, a flexible grouping of departments and offices whose mandates and work are closely linked such as:
