At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job – it is a calling.

For every child, a Champion!
The UN Secretary-General has made diversity, equity and inclusion a key part of his agenda and wider UN reform, and the UN Disability Inclusion Strategy (UNDIS) has put workplace disability inclusion at the forefront.
Centred on efforts to realize the rights of all children, UNICEF’s 2022-2025 Strategic Plan complements and contributes to the 2030 Agenda by committing to improve the life of disadvantaged children and adolescents today and enhance prospects for their well-being tomorrow. Multiple references to disability inclusion and intersectionality are made throughout the SP and disability is mainstreamed across all Goal Areas. In 2023, UNICEF adopted its Disability Inclusion Policy and Strategy (DIPAS), which includes both programmatic and operational/management targets and priorities. All this demonstrates UNICEF’s renewed commitment to promote inclusion and accessibility throughout the organization, across all functional areas.
While UNICEF has made considerable progress to strengthen disability inclusion both in programming and operations, the commitments in the new Strategic Plan and DIPAS require an intentional and sustainable effort to further advance disability inclusion as part of our collective work.

UNICEF is here to serve the world’s most disadvantaged children and our global workforce must reflect the diversity of those children.

We offer a wide range of measures to include a more diverse workforce, such as paid parental leave, time off for breastfeeding purposes, and reasonable accommodation for persons with disabilities. UNICEF strongly encourages the use of flexible working arrangements.
UNICEF does not hire candidates who are married to children (persons under 18).
