In response to displacement emergencies, UNHCR may need to deploy staff quickly to respond to the needs of people forced to flee. We recruit candidates on Temporary Appointment contracts to cover short-term emergency staffing needs (up to 729 days). Temporary Appointment opportunities are offered in field locations, at our Headquarters in Geneva, or in one of the Global Service Centres. Please note that a Temporary Appointment does not carry any expectancy, legal or otherwise, of renewal and cannot be converted to any other type of appointment. A Temporary Appointment carries reduced allowances and entitlements compared to a fixed-term appointment.
