Deadline : Oct 9, 2026

This position is located in the Office of Human Resources (OHR) in the Department of Management Strategy, Policy and Compliance (DMSPC) in Bonn. The Programme Officer (Mental Health) reports to the Senior Programme Officer (Mental Health UN System Global Lead). As approved by the High-level Committee on Management (HLCM) in October 2023, the UN System Workplace Mental Health and Well-being Strategy for 2024 and beyond reflects the UN's ongoing high-level commitment to the mental health and well-being of UN personnel. The strategy builds on the foundations developed and moves towards a sustainable and integrated approach to mental health and well-being across the UN system. The strategy aims to promote a psychologically healthy and safe workplace that promotes a positive culture and staff well-being, prevents stigma and discrimination, and contributes to a productive and positive working environment. A variety of organization-specific and inter-agency efforts have been made to address psychosocial well-being and mental health in the United Nations workplace. The strategy is designed to assist the United Nations in creating a working environment that is conducive to good mental health and ensures that support is available when needed. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Labour Organization (ILO) recently released guidelines for workplace mental health that have informed the strategy. This approach will allow UN organizations to share good practices and use economies of scale for products and services. The Programme Officer will contribute to the implementation of the next iteration of the UN System Workplace Mental Health and Well-Being Strategy. The post is funded by the UN system organizations and will therefore support all the organizations of the UN system. The Programme Officer will also support the sustainable transition of the Strategy's time-bound global coordination function, including by helping to institutionalize relevant functions, tools, knowledge products, partnerships and reporting arrangements within appropriate long-term UN system structures. The incumbent will contribute to transition planning, documentation, handover and continuity arrangements to preserve progress and support continued implementation following the conclusion of the dedicated global coordination phase.
