SSK Mental Health Resource Person Recruitment 2026

SSK Mental Health Resource Person Recruitment 2026: Overview

Samagra Shiksha Karnataka (SSK), through the School Education Department in Haveri, is engaging Mental Health Academic Resource Persons for the district's Block Resource Centres. This is a school-support role built around children's emotional wellbeing, adjustment to school, stress management and access to professional help when a case needs specialist care. Each selected professional will be attached to a BRC serving one taluk, so the work combines centre-based coordination with regular contact across government and aided schools. The engagement is contractual and tied to the district's current mental-health support programme.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract term: The appointment is temporary for six months. It does not create a right to a permanent government post, service benefit or later regular appointment.
• Assigned area: You must be ready to work throughout the jurisdiction of your allotted Block Resource Centre, including visits to schools covered by that centre.
• Taluk choice: The online form asks you to choose the BRC or taluk for which you want to be considered. The available centres are Haveri, Byadgi, Hangal, Hirekerur, Ranebennur, Savanur and Shiggaon.
• Reassignment: The department may move a selected person from one BRC to another when programme needs change. Your willingness to work elsewhere in the district may therefore be needed during the contract.
• Travel support: Approved field travel can be reimbursed under departmental rules. Payment depends on the applicable conditions and approval rather than being an automatic fixed addition.
• Performance condition: The department can end the engagement if your work is not satisfactory. It may also end the contract when the programme requirement changes or funding is not available.
• Confidentiality: Student privacy and personal information must be protected at all times. Mental-health cases should be recorded and referred without exposing sensitive details beyond the people handling the case.
• Application accuracy: Incorrect information or false documents can lead to cancellation at any stage, including after appointment. Check your academic, professional and experience records carefully before uploading them.
• Selection communication: The department will announce the detailed assessment method and marks distribution separately. Its decision on the selection process is final.
• Notification changes: The department reserves the right to amend, partly cancel or fully cancel the notice without giving a reason. Keep checking the Haveri district recruitment page for any update that may affect your application.
