Consultancies
© UNHCR/Roger Arnold
UNHCR’s consultants are highly trained professionals who are recruited on a temporary basis. They provide high-level technical knowledge that is not available within UNHCR. Consultants do not work under any type of partnership agreement or any other entity (e.g. company or firm) and will not perform the regular day-to-day functions of staff.
Consultant contracts will not exceed 11 consecutive months and so include a mandatory break-in-service of one full month. Consultants can only be engaged for a period up to a maximum of 24 months of full time work in a 36-month period. After this, a minimum six-month break in service is required.
Types of consultancies:
- International consultants may be hired from outside the location where they have to perform the services (place of work).
- Locally hired international consultants are not nationals of the country in which they are to serve and have been hired at the place of work.
- National consultants are nationals of the country and have been hired at the place of work.
