Overview

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is the United Nations organisation headquartered in Geneva that protects refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people, leading international responses on shelter, protection, legal status and durable solutions. Established by the UN General Assembly in 1950, it operates in well over 100 countries through field, sub-office and national fundraising teams, and its postings range from hardship duty stations in Syria, South Sudan and Burundi to private sector fundraising offices in Tokyo, Seoul and Hong Kong. It recruits protection, shelter, supply and finance associates, drivers, field assistants, fundraising staff, IT officers and interns.
