UNICEF has one of its larger country programmes in Ethiopia, with an office in Addis Ababa and field offices across the regions. People search for UNICEF jobs in Ethiopia every week. Here is how they work.
Where UNICEF advertises
All UNICEF vacancies are posted on the UNICEF Careers portal, and applications are made online there before the deadline. Each posting shows a job number, the contract type, the duty station and the level.
We also list UNICEF roles as they appear: UNICEF jobs on Jobmington.
Understand the job level
- National Officer (NO-A to NO-D): professional roles usually open only to Ethiopian nationals, such as communication, child protection, WASH, health, operations and procurement officers.
- General Service (G): support roles such as assistants and drivers, also recruited locally.
- International Professional (P): open to other nationalities, often marked "for non-Ethiopian nationals only" when advertised in Ethiopia.
Check the eligibility line on every posting. UNICEF states it does not arrange visas or work permits for national officer and general service roles.
Contract types
You will see fixed-term appointments, temporary appointments and consultancies. Fixed-term roles are the most stable; consultancies are for a set piece of work.
How to prepare
- Build your profile carefully. The online form asks for detailed education and work history. Complete it fully.
- Match the required experience exactly. UN postings state minimum years of relevant experience by level. Count only relevant years.
- Prepare for a written test and a competency-based interview. Have clear examples of results you achieved.
- Never pay. The UN does not charge fees at any stage.
