Expert Application Advice

What this role involves
You will lead UNICEF’s child protection response in Bunia, focusing on mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) for children affected by conflict. Day-to-day, you’ll coordinate with local partners to deliver trauma-informed care, train community workers, and ensure MHPSS is integrated into emergency operations.

Key skills to highlight
Show expertise in MHPSS programme design, especially in fragile settings like DRC. Strong skills in inter-agency coordination, training facilitation, and monitoring of psychosocial outcomes are essential. Familiarity with the Protection Cluster and child safeguarding protocols will set you apart.

Taf4All CV tip
Mention specific MHPSS models you’ve used (e.g., CFS, IPT, or CBT) and quantify impact, such as “trained 150 frontline workers in psychological first aid” or “reduced child distress scores by 30% in a crisis zone.” This proves your hands-on capability.

Before you apply
UNICEF never charges fees for applications. Verify this posting is live on unicef.org/careers—archived jobs may be stale. If you’re contacted via unofficial email or asked for payment, report it immediately.

🎯 Make your application ATS-ready

ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are the software recruiters use to automatically filter CVs before any human reads them. Our CV builder is specifically designed to pass these filters — and it takes under 3 minutes.

  • Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
  • Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
  • Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
  • Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
  • Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
  • A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
