Support Person

This role is ideal for dedicated professionals with a postgraduate degree in Social Work, Sociology, Psychology, Child Development, or Law, or graduates with a relevant diploma and at least three years of experience in child rights/protection. Candidates must be residents of Katihar district, have a clean criminal record, and a strong commitment to child welfare. Preference is given to those with prior experience in specific child protection and legal authorities.

Individuals who are not residents of Katihar district or do not possess the specified educational qualifications and experience should not apply. Those with a history of moral turpitude or prior blacklisting from child protection/development institutions are also ineligible. This is a panel-based role with remuneration per case, not a fixed monthly salary, making it unsuitable for those seeking a traditional salaried position.

Working with the District Child Protection Unit under the Government of Bihar offers valuable experience in the critical field of child protection and legal support, contributing directly to the welfare of children in Katihar. While it is a panel-based, contractual role for a period of two years with remuneration per case, it provides a unique opportunity for social workers and legal professionals to engage with the POCSO Act and related initiatives. It is a good opportunity for local professionals looking for impactful community service rather than long-term government employment stability or high financial prestige.
