Opportunities at UNICEF - 11/6/2014

If you are an experienced gender and development professional with strong credentials in rigorous programme design, implementation and evaluation, and have a passion for advancing gender equality and making a lasting difference for women, children and adolescents, UNICEF wants to hear from you!

UNICEF has recently adopted its new Gender Action Plan 2014-2017 (GAP), which is an ambitious effort at catalysing field level programming and results that advance gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls in key areas of UNICEF’s work. In relation to this new Gender Action Plan, UNICEF is currently recruiting for Gender and Development Specialists at the P-4 level and Senior Gender Development Specialists at the P-5 level for its Talent Groups.

Talent Groups at UNICEF are exclusive lists of pre-vetted, highly qualified professionals intended to fast-track the recruitment process as positions become available. After a rigorous selection process, successful candidates who apply will be placed in a Talent Group at either the P-4 or P-5 level. While placement in a Talent Group does not guarantee a position with UNICEF, it is an important resource for filling P-4 or P-5 level vacancies for Gender and Development Specialists and Senior Gender Development Specialists as they become available at UNICEF's New York Headquarters.

For more information regarding key expected results and job responsibilities and detailed information on the desired competencies of a successful candidate, and to apply for a Regional Gender Advisor position, please click here by the deadline of 1 December 2014 (11:59 p.m. EST). Please note that only short-listed candidates will be contacted.
