Mission and objectives
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people.
Context
The Government of Bulgaria (GoB) is planning to end the current humanitarian accommodation programme for Ukrainian refugees staying in the hotels and state recreational facilities. In order to asses the vulnerability of the refugees who would require continuous accommodation support the GoB in collaboration with the UN agencies is going to conduct vulnerability assessment.
Government inter-agency teams are leading the move but require extensive support on the ground.
At request of the GoB, UNHCR will participate in the vulnerability assessment and will mobilize the Community Volunteers for this specific practice.
37 Community Volunteers will be mobilized: 15 in Burgas, 10 in Varna, 5 in Dobrich, 5 in Plovdiv, 2 in Blagoevgrad. Please, indicate in your application in which city would you prefer to locate and serve for 3 months.
Application window will be closed upon the eliciting of sufficient candidates, therefore please apply as soon as possible.
