Roles by organization
53 organizations currently hiring.
United Nations hiring is distributed across many employers. UNICEF, UNDP, WFP, WHO, IOM and the UN Secretariat each run their own recruitment systems, publish vacancies on different schedules and use slightly different labels for contract type, grade and location. This directory groups current openings by the actual hiring organization so you can start from the employer rather than from a generic keyword search.
Use the organization pages when you already know the mandate you want to work with. A child-protection profile may naturally start with UNICEF or UNHCR, while a public-health profile may compare WHO country-office roles with UNICEF health posts and UNDP programme work. Each organization page links to the official careers portal, keeps the live vacancy list current, and shows duty stations, grades and deadlines before you leave to apply at the source.
For AdSense and search quality, only organizations with a meaningful number of current roles are listed here. Smaller or temporarily inactive organizations can still appear through search when they have openings, but we avoid promoting near-empty pages as if they were complete content.
