Counsellor

This role is ideal for individuals holding a Graduate degree in Social Work, Sociology, Psychology, Health, or Counselling, or a PG Diploma in Counselling and Communication, with a minimum of one year's experience in Women & Child Development, preferably within a Government/NGO setting. Candidates should be proficient in computers and passionate about child welfare, looking for a short-term contractual engagement within a government-backed initiative.

Those seeking a permanent government position or a higher pay scale should not apply, as this is a one-year contract role with a consolidated salary. Individuals without the specified educational qualifications or the mandatory one-year experience in the relevant sector will also find this role unsuitable. Applicants exceeding 41 years of age are ineligible.

Working with the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) under the Mission Vatsalya Guidelines offers valuable experience in the social welfare sector, specifically in child protection. While it is a contractual position, it provides exposure to government functioning and contributes to a critical social cause. However, as a single-vacancy, one-year contract role, its long-term career growth and prestige are limited compared to permanent cadre positions.
