Are the Jobs Really Remote
The announcement calls the jobs remote and home based. But home-based does not mean you can work from any country. Some international contracts need valid work authorisation where you live. Some roles have rules about nationality, residency or location.
For example the Communication Analyst role is linked to a programme in the Western Balkans. Check the permitted work location, any travel duties and the contract length in each vacancy notice.
