How to Apply for OSRSG-CAAC Jobs
Once you find a suitable OSRSG-CAAC vacancy on IGO Jobs or the UN Careers Portal, submit your application through the official United Nations recruitment system. Below is a guide on how to apply.
Official OSRSG-CAAC application route ↗1Search with the official Department/Office name
Use the UN Careers Portal and search for **Office of the SRSG for Children and Armed Conflict**. Open the full job description before applying. The office advertises staff positions, internships and consultancy assignments, each with separate requirements, appointment terms, work location and closing date.
2Distinguish OSRSG-CAAC from related UN offices
Confirm the **Department/Office** field says Office of the SRSG for Children and Armed Conflict. Related child-protection roles may belong to UNICEF, peace operations, OHCHR, the Office of the SRSG on Sexual Violence in Conflict or the Office of the SRSG on Violence Against Children. Do not apply on the basis of a similar title alone.
3Check the office location and work arrangement
Read the duty station and work-location sections carefully. OSRSG-CAAC has offices in New York and Doha, and its postings have included New York public-information internships, Doha political-affairs internships and Doha Hub programme-management roles. Individual notices control whether work is in person, remote, hybrid, full time or part time.
4Complete the Inspira application, not only a CV
Select **Apply Now** to enter Inspira, then create or access your account and complete every required profile field. Record education, employment, skills and languages accurately. The completed online application is the formal basis for screening; a CV or cover letter cannot replace the required Inspira entries.
5Tailor evidence to the children-and-armed-conflict mandate
Show how your experience fits the actual function and the Office’s mandate. Depending on the role, this may involve child protection, political analysis, public information, data, gender mainstreaming, programme management or administration. Address relevant experience with the six grave violations, conflict sensitivity, protection frameworks or partnerships where the notice requires it.
6Submit on time and prepare for assessment
Review screening answers, mandatory fields, dates and the motivation statement before submitting. Inspira sends a confirmation to your registered email, and a submitted application cannot be changed for that vacancy. Shortlisted candidates may be invited to a written test, simulation, technical exercise or competency-based interview, depending on the role.
Recruitment safety: No. The UN charges no application, interview, assessment, processing or training fees. Use only UN Careers and Inspira, confirming the Department/Office is Office of the SRSG for Children and Armed Conflict. Treat payment or bank-detail requests, or off-platform submission instructions, as fraudulent.
