UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children’s lives, defend their rights, and help them fulfill their potential, from early childhood through adolescence. At UNICEF, we are committed, passionate, and proud of what we do for as long as we are needed. Promoting the rights of every child is not just a job – it is a calling. UNICEF is a place where careers are built: we offer our staff diverse opportunities for professional and personal development that will help them reinforce a sense of purpose while serving children and communities across the world. We welcome everyone who wants to belong and grow in a diverse and passionate culture, coupled with an attractive compensation and benefits package. Visit our website to learn more about what we do at UNICEF. For every child, the right to Health How can you make a difference? UNICEF’s fundamental mission is to uphold the rights of every child, everywhere—across programmes, advocacy, partnerships, and operations. Guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child, UNICEF places equity at the heart of its work, recognising that the most disadvantaged and excluded children must be prioritised to achieve sustainable development for all. Equity means ensuring that every child has an equal opportunity to survive, develop, and thrive—free from discrimination, bias, or systemic barriers. When any child is denied this opportunity, their rights are compromised. There is growing global evidence that investing in the health, education, and protection of the most marginalised not only advances individual well-being and their communities’ social justice, but also contributes to long-term economic growth, social cohesion, and national stability. By addressing inequality, UNICEF accelerates progress towards fulfilling the rights of all children while supporting the equitable development of nations. The Global Programme Division (GPD) plays a central role in driving programme excellence across UNICEF. It provides global strategic leadership and policy direction, develops and monitors frameworks and standards, and ensures coherence and alignment across sectors, regions, and partners. GPD generates high-impact, evidence-based solutions and serves as a hub of specialised expertise, offering technical guidance on policy reform and scalable programming. GPD leads UNICEF’s policies, standards, and negotiations for programmes, ensuring that the organisation’s assets and priorities align with, and contribute to, child development goals. In addition, GPD strengthens country-level implementation through integrated technical support, linking global policy with on-the-ground action to deliver results for children at scale. As part of this structure, UNICEF has established Centres of Excellence (CoEs) to provide high-quality, demand-driven technical assistance to countries, and their governments and partners. Located strategically in Nairobi, Panama, Amman, and Bangkok, the CoEs bring together cross-cutting expertise across time zones. Global Programme Practices in CoEs function as a single point of entry for support, delivering tailored assistance in priority areas such as policy reform in matters that advance the well-being of children, at-scale programme design, public finance, workforce development and institutional strengthening, and timely humanitarian response while promoting resilient development. In doing so, the CoEs also contribute to global policy standards, ensuring that UNICEF’s support is grounded in practical knowledge. Joining UNICEF as a Health Specialist for the Community Health Delivery Partnership (CHDP) means becoming part of one of the most ambitious global efforts to transform how primary health care reaches the world’s most underserved communities.
