Support Person

This role is ideal for experienced professionals with a strong background in social work, psychology, child development, or law, specifically those with a minimum of three years of experience in child rights or protection. Candidates who are residents of Gopalganj district and possess relevant postgraduate or graduate qualifications with a diploma in counseling are particularly well-suited. The position demands a commitment to assisting POCSO victims and working on a case-by-case honorarium basis, without expectations of permanent government employment.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment with regular salary structures should not apply, as this is a contractual empanelment based on honorarium per case. Those without the specified minimum age of 30 years or relevant experience in child protection/legal aid, or who are not residents of Gopalganj district, will not be eligible. This role is also unsuitable for candidates expecting a high volume of cases or a fixed monthly income, as remuneration is case-dependent.

Working with the District Child Protection Unit, under the Bihar Government, offers significant social impact by supporting victims of the POCSO Act. While the role is contractual and honorarium-based, it provides valuable experience in the state's child protection framework. It is a niche, mission-driven role rather than a traditional career path with high promotional prospects or a fixed long-term tenure within the government service, with a maximum tenure of two years or until age 65.
