WHO Job categories

The WHO workforce is our most important resource. WHO offers job opportunities under three kinds of staff categories as well as other contractual arrangements.

• International Professional staff: WHO’s internationally recruited staff serve in health technical, operational, managerial and leadership roles, across the world. They are committed to mobility and are employed to work according to their expertise and WHO’s programmatic needs.
• National Professional Officer: WHO’s National Professional Officers are professional level staff, often employed for their local knowledge and expertise in the country of their nationality. They work in diverse areas across the world and fulfill a wide range of responsibilities.
• General Services staff: Our programmes and professional staff are supported by local residents or nationals, employed in the general service staff category. They are essential for our success, have a wide range of skills and are valued by our teams across the organization.
• Consultants and other contractual arrangements: WHO contracts subject matter experts to provide time-limited, project-focused professional level support to attain specific programme deliverables. These are not employment contracts and remain outside the scope of the WHO Staff Rules and Regulations.
