Programme Coordinator & Community Facilitator

This role is ideal for candidates with a Master's degree (for Programme Coordinator) or a Graduate qualification (for Community Facilitator) in Social Work, Public Health, Environmental Studies, or related social science disciplines. Applicants should possess relevant experience in community engagement, qualitative research, and fieldwork, particularly concerning climate change adaptation, disaster risk reduction, or social development projects. Proficiency in English, Hindi, and Marathi is a plus for community facilitators. This is suitable for those seeking project-based, contractual work in Mumbai with a highly reputed institution.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as these are temporary, project-based positions with an initial duration of 12 months, with extension dependent on project requirements and funding. Those without specific experience in community-based research, data collection, or social work (as per the respective post requirements) will find themselves unsuitable. Candidates solely looking for high-volume recruitment drives may also be disappointed due to the limited number of vacancies.

Working with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) offers significant prestige. As a Deemed University with high NAAC and NIRF rankings, TISS provides a robust academic and research environment. Although these are project-based roles, the experience gained will be invaluable for career growth in social development, research, and policy engagement, enhancing a candidate's profile for future opportunities in both academic and non-profit sectors. It offers an excellent platform for contributing to critical social projects like the 'Transforming M-ward Project' with strong institutional support.
