Vacancy
Background | ||
The OSCE has a comprehensive approach to security that encompasses politico-military, economic and environmental, and human aspects. It therefore addresses a wide range of security-related concerns, including arms control, confidence- and security-building measures, human rights, national minorities, democratization, policing strategies, counter-terrorism and economic and environmental activities. All 57 participating States enjoy equal status, and decisions are taken by consensus on a politically, but not legally binding basis.
The OSCE Secretariat in Vienna assists the Chairmanship in its activities, and provides operational and administrative support to the field operations, and, as appropriate, to other institutions.
The Department of Human Resources (DHR) ensures that the OSCE has the human resources capacity necessary to successfully implement its mandates. DHR sets the policies and provides services in the areas of recruitment, administration of benefits and entitlements, payroll, performance management, training and ethics across the Organization.
The Talent Management Section of the Department of Human Resources encompasses the Recruitment Unit, the Learning and Development Unit and the Classification and Post Table Team, and is led by the Head, Talent Management Section. The Talent Management Section works toward recruiting, retaining, supporting and developing the highest quality staff and mission members and promoting their competence and high performance. The Learning and Development Unit, as part of the Talent Management Section of the Department of Human Resources, co-ordinates and manages staff training activities throughout the OSCE. Training activities include the design and facilitation of training modules with in-house-resources, bringing in trainers for topics where in-house expertise is not available, supporting participating States in their pre-mission training efforts and orientation of new OSCE staff members. The Recruitment Unit, as part of the Talent Management Section of the Department of Human Resources, comprises at least ten staff members and is primarily responsible for the recruitment and selection of international contracted and seconded staff for the Secretariat and field operations and of general staff, temporary staff and consultants at the Secretariat.
The OSCE Action Plan for the Promotion of Gender Equality is committed to further improving gender balance among staff in all areas and levels within the OSCE. Currently male staff in the above-mentioned field of expertise is underrepresented, and are therefore encouraged to apply for this opportunity.
