What is WFP looking for?

WFP is recruiting local administrative/business support staff in the General Service category for short-term assignments up to a maximum of 11 months, after which candidates can receive further contracts after having served a break of at least one month from the organization.

The Business Support Function at WFP is an essential part of the organisation which provides valued support and assistance to the Programmeโ€™s many different divisions. The Business Support Roster is a pool of qualified candidates who are available for short-term assignments at WFP Headquarters in Rome, Italy. Inclusion into the Roster is for a two-year period, after which candidates need to re-confirm their interest to be re-included. Candidates who are already accepted in the Roster donโ€™t need to apply again. Candidates must demonstrate flexibility, and ability to pick up new tasks and procedures quickly, possess a proactive attitude, and be able to handle competing deadlines with a desire to learn. Candidates are expected to produce work of a high standard. We are looking for candidates who have personal qualities to bring to the organisation which complement and enhance our dynamic and multicultural work environment. The ideal candidate will demonstrate the following competencies: client orientation and teamwork, cultural sensitivity, action management, and attention to detail. This is an excellent channel through which to enter the organisation on a short-term contract, which will allow you to apply to longer-term opportunities.
