Choose the role that matches your evidence

ATI’s application advice: for procurement roles, prepare examples of compliant purchasing and reliable delivery. For communications roles, show how your work influenced an audience or decision and how you measured it. For digital leadership roles, explain the programme problem, the technology decision and the results, including your responsibility for teams and partners.

Check essential education, experience, language and work-authorisation requirements first. A training course does not replace the employer’s minimum requirements or guarantee selection.

How to strengthen your UNICEF application

Read the vacancy’s minimum requirements closely and match your application to the stated competencies. Use evidence-based examples that explain the situation, your responsibility, the action you took and the result. Avoid sending a generic CV to every position.

Applicants working in programmes, health, WASH or public-sector delivery can strengthen their results-management knowledge through ATI’s Post-Graduate Diploma in Project Planning and Management.

Recruitment safety notice

Apply only through the official UNICEF Careers links above. UNICEF states that it does not charge fees at any stage of recruitment and will not request applicants’ bank-account information.
