Job Posting: Professional Opportunities with United Nations

The Office of the UN Ombudsman and Mediation Services is seeking independent consultants for two opportunities: conflict competency skills training; and on-call Ombuds and mediators.  The deadline for the skills training is approaching quickly, but the need for on-call expert neutrals is on-going.  

Here are some of the details:

1. Call for expression of interest for conflict competence training consultancy (deadline 9 September 2016) 
UNOMS is seeking a consultant to develop coherent and thematic conflict competence skills-based training modules in the form of workshops, presentations, training courses within the framework of the mandate of the Office. 

Applications will be reviewed by a panel and only short-listed candidates will be contacted for further screening. 

2. Call for expression of interest for ombudsman and mediator consultancies (deadline ongoing) 

UNOMS is seeking to fill its roster of pre-screened on-call ombudsmen and mediators for possible consultancies to provide conflict resolution services in the UN Secretariat. On-call ombudsmen and mediators complement UNOMS’ existing capacity on an as needed basis during surge periods, for short-term assignments and/or for interventions that require special expertise. Applications will be reviewed by a panel on an on-going basis. Candidates will be notified after receipt of the complete application package as to whether they have been deemed eligible and their name will be placed on the roster for potential further consideration for assignments. Placement on the roster does not guarantee recruitment.
