The UN Workforce

Welcome to UN Careers!

The United Nations promotes international cooperation, uniting all its Member States' strength to maintain peace and security, and foster economic and social advancement of all people. Its mandate is to ensure respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all, without distinction as to race, gender, language or religion.

This is the careers website for the UN Secretariat, the main organization within the UN family of Organizations. Our workforce includes a variety of different positions, from the internship level to senior leadership appointments. Positions can range from archivists to engineers, and interpreters to scientists; and from working in an office to working directly with beneficiaries in local environments. We work around the world in hundreds of locations, and there are opportunities to change jobs, departments, and move to new places.
