Senior Field Associate at UNHCR
The (Senior) Field Officer or Head of Office is usually in charge of the Senior Field Associate, who does a variety of tasks connected to Field activities in the office. General work goals are set by the boss, and the person in charge does the work on their own. The boss keeps an eye on the work to make sure it gets done as planned and follows policies and procedures.
