Employment

Working for UNHCR can be as challenging as it is extremely rewarding. UNHCR is always looking for new talent.

Want to apply for a job or a traineeship at the UNHCR? Great! We’re always glad to hear from motivated candidates who want to join our cause. Before applying, we suggest you take our “Refugee or Migrant” quiz to test your knowledge.

Working with UNHCR is a unique opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of refugees and other displaced people around the globe.

You can support UNHCR’s work in many different ways, depending on your interests and the available opportunities. Any support – small or large – is important. Dedicating your time and talents to support UNHCR’s work is a significant contribution, irrespective of whether you dedicate an hour, a day, a few months, a decade, or even longer.

If you want to contribute to UNHCR’s important work protecting refugees and other displaced people, and you meet the requirements, there are many available employment opportunities in Northern Europe and around the globe.
