• Advanced University Degree.
• Demonstrable experience in developing external relations and/or communications strategies and leading teams.
• Advanced familiarity with UNHCR structures engaged in resource mobilization and external relations at global, regional bureau, and MCO level.
• Experience in external relations at UNHCR at senior level.
• Experience working in communications/external relations in Australia or New Zealand.
• Drafting skills.
• Familiarity with the refugee advocacy landscape in Australia and New Zealand, and key actors in the refugee sector.
• Understanding of the work of MCO Australia, its protection and advocacy priorities, and the intersection between protection and external relations.
The consultant will be expected to:
- On the basis of internal consultations with staff of MCO Australia (protection staff, Deputy Representative and Representative, and former MCO personnel as needed) establish clarity around core goals for the MCO's external relations work, and initial prioritization of these. And from this develop an initial draft strategy (short).
- Seek views/inputs from DER entities (DRRM, Partnerships, PSP and GCS) and from RBAP External Relations on the question of a common (i.e. integrated) approach and strategy – i.e. interest in such an approach / how best to align these efforts / what support might be available / what are key areas of common interest / key planning windows etc.
- Seek views/inputs from A4U/NZ4U on scope for alignment of resource mobilization planning/goals – mapping of relative strengths and areas where we can help each other.
- Seek views/inputs from key external actors – what would help them (more regular consultations by UNHCR? scope for joint advocacy? awareness of the MCO's priorities etc). Ideally, this would include speaking to DFAT/MFAT, A4U/NZ4U, plus key refugee advocates and others in Australia and New Zealand (i.e. Refugee Sector, Human Rights Sector, Legal Sector, Academic sector, parliamentarians) plus seeking views from refugee led organizations and members of refugee advisory boards/panels.
- Provide a summarized readout of inputs.
- At the conclusion of the project, and on the basis of findings, present to a written strategy to the MCO, and accompanying discussion in a team meeting with the Office Senior Management Team.Standard Job Description Required Languages ,

Yes Welcome to UNHCR's new recruitment platform If you were notified about unsuccessful application W hile our recruitment system successfully implements UNHCR policies, we have noticed some marginal errors. Please rest assured that a human recruiter will duly review your application as per our internal processes when it was declined due to lack of required number of years of relevant work experience. For external applicants: We would like to call your attention on the eligibility of International Professional (P) category: According to our Recruitment and Assignments Policy, P staff members will not normally serve in the country of their nationality, and the first regular appointment in the P category must be outside the staff member's country of nationality. In practical terms this means that you are not eligible to apply for International Professional vacancies advertised in the country where you are national of. Past application data and previously created applicant accounts are not migrated to this platform. Therefore, when applying for current vacancies, external applicants (not current UNHCR workforce members) should create a new account ("Sign In" on the top left corner >> Create account). Once successfully registered, you can start filling in your data and apply for vacancies. Applications for vacancies advertised on UNHCR's old recruitment platform will be duly reviewed and processed in the old platform (but no data will be migrated to the new platform). In case of technical difficulties when applying, external applicants (not current UNHCR workforce members) can write to Global Service Desk at . Former UNHCR employees who are on mandatory break-in service or have separated from UNHCR after 1 October 2022 should create an account through this platform. Once you fill in your basic personal information (employee ID, birth date, name, email address), Workday will identify you as prior personnel and merge your employee account with your external applicant account. Past applications to Talent Pools have not been migrated to UNHCR's new recruitment platform. As part of the transitional measures, candidates who were successfully accepted to a Talent Pool (now called Evergreens) have received e-mail instructions for re-submitting their application on UNHCR's new recruitment platform. The Evergreens are advertised per grade/ level; candidates can apply to one or more levels. If meeting all eligibility criteria at the given level and subject to functional clearance (if applicable), candidates will be added to the relevant talent pool. Applications will be valid for one year, after which candidates can re-confirm their interest. Evergreens are for sourcing candidates for Temporary Appointments (TAs). Candidates considering TA opportunities are recommended to keep an eye on the UNHCR Career website and apply once Evergreens are open for new applications (at the end of 2022). For updating a previously submitted Evergreen application, please click on the "withdraw" button against the Profile and reapply. Note: the change(s) will apply only to the relevant profile. You will have to update all other profiles (if any) if your data (i.e. nationality, new BA/MA degree, new language skill) has changed.

UNHCR seeks to sustain and strengthen this diversity to ensure equal opportunities as well as an inclusive working environment for its entire workforce.
