Medical Officer & Counsellor

This opportunity is ideal for medical professionals with an MBBS degree and postgraduates in Social Work or Sociology, particularly those specializing in medical/psychiatric social work or psychology. Candidates seeking contractual, project-based roles within a prestigious healthcare institution will find this suitable. Individuals from the PLHIV community who are qualified and competent are explicitly given preference for the Counsellor role.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment with standard pay scales and benefits should not apply, as these are fixed-term contractual positions with consolidated salaries. Those requiring travel allowance (TA/DA) for interviews will be disappointed as it will not be provided. Individuals looking for opportunities with a large number of vacancies or established long-term career progression might also find this unsuitable.

Working at AIIMS, New Delhi, offers significant prestige and a valuable opportunity to gain experience in a premier medical institution. While the roles are contractual and project-specific (Anti Retroviral Treatment), they provide exposure to critical public health initiatives and contribute to a highly reputable organization. Long-term career progression within these specific contractual roles may be limited, but the experience and professional network gained can be highly beneficial for future endeavors in the healthcare and social work sectors.
