Utkal Balashram Jajpur Recruitment 2026: 6 Contractual Vacancies for Probation Officer, Educator & Others

Individuals with relevant educational qualifications and experience in social work, child rights, education, arts, yoga, or caregiving. Those looking for contractual government engagement in child welfare, particularly permanent residents of Odisha and citizens of India, would find these roles suitable. Proficiency in computer skills is a plus for some roles. Candidates must be between 21 and 45 years of age as of February 15, 2026.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment with regular pay scales should not apply, as these are temporary, contractual positions, time-bound and co-terminous with the scheme. Individuals unwilling to work in a time-bound capacity or those without specific experience where required (e.g., 2-3 years in relevant fields) may not be suitable. Non-citizens of India or non-permanent residents of Odisha are ineligible. Additionally, those who do not meet the age criteria of 21-45 years by the specified date should not apply.

Utkal Balashram is a government-run Child Care Institution, offering an opportunity to contribute to social welfare and child protection under the Odisha State government. While positions are contractual, they provide valuable experience in the child welfare sector and exposure to government functioning. Long-term growth is tied to the scheme's continuance and annual performance appraisal, rather than a traditional career progression path in permanent civil service.
