Psychiatric Social Worker

This role is ideally suited for individuals holding an M. Phil in Psychiatric Social Work with at least one year of relevant experience. The ideal candidate will be enthusiastic about working in a wellness center within a prestigious academic environment, providing counseling, therapy, and mental health awareness to the institute community. They should be adaptable to a contract-based, temporary employment model and committed to immediate joining upon selection.

Candidates seeking permanent government employment or roles with long-term tenure should not apply, as this position is temporary and contract-based for a maximum duration of five years. Those without the essential M. Phil qualification in Psychiatric Social Work or unwilling to work under a consolidated monthly emolument without other benefits will find this role unsuitable.

Working at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc), a globally renowned research institution, offers significant prestige and a valuable addition to one's resume. While the role is contractual, the experience gained in a mental health support capacity within such a distinguished environment can be highly beneficial for future career advancement in social work, particularly in academic or institutional settings. This role contributes to vital community well-being services.
