National Professional Officers must be nationals of the country in which they serve, and they should have substantial knowledge of local conditions. They are not required to rotate. Their recruitment should enhance the national capacity building and contribute to the quality of the nation’s professional workforce.  Please see the Local Staff Salary Calculator for an indication of remuneration. National Professional Officer positions may be advertised on the UNHCR recruitment platform, and internally and externally within the country of the duty station where the vacancy exists. Vacancy notices are shared with all UNHCR staff in the country. They are also issued in the local press, posted on national employment websites, and with all UN agencies, local missions and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in the country. Please contact the relevant country offices to learn more about current National Staff opportunities. Browse UNHCR country pages.
