The Bureau of Emigration and Overseas Employment has urged Pakistanis to apply for UNICEF jobs in Pakistan through the United Nations Children’s Fund’s official careers portal.
The bureau said applicants should create a Talent Profile on the UNICEF Careers Portal and apply only through verified listings on the Jobs Unicef Org domain.
According to the bureau, UNICEF offers opportunities in child protection, education, nutrition, emergency response, information technology, supply chain and logistics.
The guidance said Pakistani applicants can target three recruitment tracks: National Officer roles for Pakistani nationals, General Service roles for local administrative support and International Professional roles for global assignments.
