International Professional Staff

Clara lives in a remote village in Táchira where UNHCR implements sport projects for local integration with the support of local leaders like Clara.

International Professional Staff are driven by compassion and integrity, and with a desire to contribute to the world in which they live. They work in vast array of functional profiles and are subject to rotation, i.e. required to change duty station from time to time.

International professional vacancies target committed and skilled professionals who are willing to work in a challenging environment and are passionate about making a lasting difference. UNHCR does its best to fill vacant international professional positions internally. If no suitable internal candidate is identified, the organization will advertise these positions externally.
