Administration Intern

About this role

UNHCR is seeking an intern to support its Representation Office in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, at a time when the office is preparing to relocate to shared premises with UNICEF. The internship is intended to provide practical exposure to records management, information handling, and administrative coordination while helping the office manage a significant physical records move. The intern will work under staff supervision and contribute to the review, organization, digitization, and secure transfer of designated physical records. The work must take account of available storage space and business continuity needs, so the post-holder will help ensure that information remains accessible and protected during the transition.

Day to day duties will center on preparing records for movement, supporting orderly digital capture, and assisting with administrative coordination linked to the relocation. The source text does not list formal academic, language, or prior work experience requirements, nor does it specify preferred qualifications; it instead frames the opportunity as an internship with on-the-job learning. Candidates should therefore be prepared to work under supervision and to handle records and information carefully. UNHCR is the UN refugee agency, and the Dar es Salaam Representation Office is the country-level office covered by this posting.

The internship is full time and based in Dar es Salaam. The target start date is 15 November 2026. The posting notes hardship level B and family type Family, although those details are not applicable to home-based arrangements, and it states that the position is not remote and does not require a functional clearance. No salary, stipend, benefits, travel expectations, or reporting line beyond general staff supervision are mentioned in the source.

Applications close on 4 November 2026, and interested candidates should submit their application by that date.
