For every child and adolescent…

For UNICEF, it is essential that those who wish to be part of this great mission live our values of Care, Respect, Trust, Integrity, and Responsibility, and also demonstrate the organization’s core competencies.

UNICEF is committed to diversity and inclusion within its workforce and encourages all candidates, regardless of disability, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, religion, or ethnic origin, to participate in fulfilling the Organization’s mission through their various roles. In this regard, the Organization is interested in recruiting individuals committed to promoting gender equality and non-discrimination.

At UNICEF Colombia, we value diversity and inclusion within our team. As part of the selection process, we would like to ensure that all candidates have equal opportunities. Please take a moment to inform us if you have a disability and what supports you require for your participation. This allows us to understand what reasonable adjustments you require to ensure you can participate fully and equally.

UNICEF fosters an organizational culture based on accountability and a zero-tolerance policy toward any behavior that runs counter to the values, goals, and objectives that the United Nations and the Organization are committed to protecting. This includes prohibiting any incident of sexual abuse and exploitation by personnel employed by the organization or implementing partners, as well as sexual harassment, abuse of authority, and discrimination in the workplace. UNICEF also adheres to the strict principles of child protection. Therefore, all candidates participating in our selection processes will be subject to rigorous reference and background checks and are expected to adhere to these standards and principles.
