What is the age bracket for jobs in the UN?
I got the following question the other day: “Do you know the age bracket for jobs in the UN?”
Here is my take: To my knowledge (and keep in mind I’m not the UN, nor do I speak on their behalf) the following applies:
- You have to be an adult to work for the UN (the UN does not condone child labor)
- Certain programmes like the Junior Professional Officer (JPO) Programme, or the UN’s Young Professional Programme (YPP) have age restrictions.
- The retirement age for anyone hired on a staff contract today is currently 62 years. Which means that if you want to work beyond that age, you will need to get a waiver.
Other than these boundaries, to my knowledge, there are no age restrictions. Are you working in an HR capacity in a UN organisation? Do you know of any further age related regulations? Please let us know in the FORUM – thanks!

Watch out for fake UN Democracy Fund vacancies
Before we start, just a quick reminder: I’m NOT the UN and I’m NOT speaking on behalf of them. I make it a point of the UN Job List, NOT to actually host any job advertisement but to ALWAYS link back to the ORIGINAL vacancy announcement. I advise you to be very suspicious of any job advertisement that does not link back to a reputable and verifiable source.
So, please watch out for fake job advertisements when you apply for UN Jobs. I know that a lot of you want to be part of the UN System, but be suspicious and careful if you get advertisements if you can’t verify the source. Currently there seems to be a wave of fake UN Democracy Fund (UNDEF) vacancies. This is a warning I saw:
Fake vacancy announcements have been repeatedly circulated in the name of the UN Democracy Fund, UNDEF, via non-UN websites and email imitating UN email addresses. In some cases, correspondence falsely signed in the name of real UNDEF officials has ensued, asking would-be applicants to part with copies of personal documents and even money.
As part of the UN Secretariat, UNDEF posts job vacancies only at careers.un.org and, in the cases of temporary vacancy announcements, on the UN Secretariat intranet site iSeek. Please disregard any emails, or non-UN websites, purporting to announce UNDEF job vacancies, and pass on this warning to anyone you think may be affected.
I have written about fake vacancies in the past, so have a look here on how to avoid being scammed.

Jobs at the International Criminal Court back on the UN Job List
Hello together,
I just wanted to let you know that the jobs of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague are back on the UN Job List. Please let me know if you know of other organisations that should be added to the List.
Also, I added the functionality of sorting to all tables on the UN Job List – to sort for any column, just click on the table heading. If you click once, the table will be sorted ascending, if you click a second time, the table will be sorted descending.
Check it out and let me know what you think – thanks!
