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.

Events
The United Nations is part of the UN system, which, in addition to the UN itself, comprises many funds, programmes and specialized agencies, each of which have their own area of work, leadership and budget. The programmes and funds are financed through voluntary rather than assessed contributions. The Specialized Agencies are independent international organizations funded by both voluntary and assessed contributions. The UN coordinates its work with these separate UN system entities, which cooperate with the Organization to help it achieve its goals.
You can support various initiatives by donating to the United Nations, or its agencies that are dedicated to these causes.
