Full remote working possibilities are offered for this role. The UN Volunteer also has the option to live in Baghdad, which is not a family duty station. The official offices of UNITAD will be located inside the “International Zone”, which comprised all UN Offices operating out of Baghdad. Generally speaking, stringent security measures are in place throughout the country, and UN Volunteers, as other UN staff, are quite limited in all duty stations in Iraq when it comes to movement (walking virtually not allowed).

Iraq is a unique country and UNITAD is a unique operation.

Therefore, flexibility and the ability and willingness to live and work in harsh and potentially hazardous conditions, involving physical hardship and little comfort, are essential.
