UNHCR Country Office in Cyprus
This is an open call for applications for UNHCR Group 2 candidates for General Service (GS) positions. Successfully screened candidates will be given access to apply to internally advertised GS positions with UNHCR Cyprus.
What is Group 2?
UNHCR uses candidate groups in the recruitment process for General Service positions. Current GS staff members holding an indefinite or fixed-term appointment in the country of the vacancy who apply for a position two grades above the personal grade are considered as Group 2.
Furthermore, Group 2 status can be granted to candidates of the below listed categories with one year of continuous or cumulative service in the country of the vacancy.
• Current* locally recruited UNHCR staff members holding a Temporary Appointment up to a maximum of two grades above their current positions.
• Former locally recruited UNHCR staff members who held an indefinite or fixed-term appointment (within 2 years of separation for males and 5 years for females) up to a maximum of two grades above the last position at UNHCR.
• National United Nations Volunteers currently working for UNHCR.
• National UNOPS and Individual Contractors currently working for UNHCR.

• Current UNHCR National Professional Officers holding an indefinite or fixed-term appointment.
• Current locally recruited female staff members from other UN system organizations holding the equivalent of an indefinite or fixed-term appointment up to a maximum of two grades above their current positions.
Group 2 status is valid for three years, except for former locally recruited staff members (as above). During this period candidates will be given access to apply for internal UNHCR Cyprus GS vacancies.
