Protection Officer, SJPU Social Worker & Social Worker

This role is ideal for individuals holding a postgraduate or graduate degree in Social Work, Sociology, Child Development, or related social science fields, who possess strong computer proficiency. Candidates for the Protection Officer role must have at least 2 years of experience in project formulation, implementation, monitoring, and supervision within the social welfare sector. Those seeking contractual government opportunities at the district level in Chengalpattu and are passionate about child welfare are well-suited.

Candidates aspiring for permanent government positions or those exceeding the age of 42 should not apply. Individuals without the specified educational qualifications or the mandatory 2 years of experience for the Protection Officer role will not be considered. Those looking for roles with extensive long-term career progression and benefits typical of permanent government service might find these contractual positions less appealing.

These are district-level contractual positions within a State Government-run child protection unit. While offering valuable experience in the critical area of child welfare and social services, they may not provide the same level of institutional prestige, job security, or long-term career growth opportunities as permanent central or state government roles. The focus is on immediate service delivery rather than career advancement through established government cadres.
