I have registered using a mobile device and cannot upload my documents:
Most mobile devices cannot store documents in the requested formats (pdf, word, docx). Therefore, we recommend that you login to your candidate profile using a personal desktop computer and upload your application files from a local folder.
I saw a job advertisement for a role outside of the official World Vision careers site. How do I know if the advertisement is real?
While we do post on reputable external job boards/sites (i.e. LinkedIn, Indeed, Devex, Reliefweb, etc.), World Vision does not outsource its recruitment process to any organisation or agency which, through website postings, mass e-mail messages, newsletters or otherwise claims to be doing recruitment on its behalf. World Vision will only use approved and reputable executive search firms (exception basis only).
Advertisements for vacant positions can only be found on our official World Vision International career website careers.wvi.org and/or on World Vision Support Office websites.
World Vision does not, and will never, solicit money for any part of its recruitment processes including short-listing, interviews, background, and/or medical check-ups.
World Vision will not be responsible for such fraudulent correspondence or any loss of money or theft which may result from anyone engaging in any fraudulent recruitment activity.
In addition, please look out for email addresses not ending with wvi.org.
Please be cautious, and if you have any questions and/or would like to report what you believe to be a fraudulent World Vision recruitment person(s) or agency, please email careers_support@wvi.org. (Please note that due to the number of emails received, you can expect a delay of 3-5 business days for our team to respond.)
Where can I find volunteer opportunities with World Vision International?
Thank you for your interest in volunteering! However, World Vision International does not currently offer volunteer opportunities. Some World Vision Support/Fundraising Offices have volunteer opportunities. Please contact the office of your interest directly by visiting “Where we work.”
What if I still have a career question or a technical issue with my candidate profile?
If you still have questions after reading all the Frequently Asked Questions, please email careers_support@wvi.org. Due to the number of emails received, please expect a delay of 3-5 business days for our team to respond.
Please do not send CVs/resumes to this email. All applications must be processed through our careers site.
