District Judge, Kandhamal Counsellor Recruitment 2026: 1 Vacancy

This role is ideally suited for seasoned professionals holding a Master's Degree in Social Science (preferably Sociology or Psychology) with at least three years of experience in family counselling. Individuals over 35 with a Degree in Social Science and substantial experience in family/child welfare activities may also be considered. Strong proficiency in Odia (speaking, reading, writing) and a commitment to social service within the judicial framework are essential. The ideal candidate will be self-motivated, organized, and capable of working independently within a court setting.

Candidates lacking a Master's Degree in Social Science (or relevant Degree for the age 35+ category) or the mandated three years of experience in family counselling/social welfare activities should not apply. Those without proficiency in Odia or who are unable to meet the specific documentation and submission requirements (Speed Post by deadline) will find their applications rejected. The role is offered on a retainer/daily fee basis, which might not suit individuals seeking a conventional salaried permanent position.

Working as a Counsellor within a District Family Court offers a unique opportunity for professionals to contribute directly to the justice system and family welfare. While it's a single contractual position, it carries the prestige of judicial service and allows for impactful work in a specialized area of law. Career growth may involve deepening expertise in family law and counselling, though direct hierarchical progression might be limited due to the nature of the post. The experience gained is highly valuable for future roles in social work, law, or public service.
