This is a contractual drive serving the Child Help Line, the Specialized Adoption Agency and the district's Juvenile Justice Board and Child Welfare Committee. The unusual strength of this notice is its mix of crisis-response, counselling, adoption-care, health and office-support roles, giving people with very different backgrounds a route into child-welfare work.

Post-wise Duties

Child Help Line Team

You will respond to children and families at risk, connect cases with medical care, shelter, restoration and nutrition services, and help the district team run awareness programmes. Senior team members will also guide staff, review call patterns and build links with local administration, Anganwadi workers and panchayat bodies.

You will support the agency's care, protection and adoption-related work according to your role. The manager and social worker will coordinate case and family support, the clinical staff will handle health needs, and the care and security staff will keep the facility safe and functional.

JJB and CWC Office Support

You will help the Juvenile Justice Board and Child Welfare Committee keep digital records organised and support routine office work connected with child-protection cases.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Contract status: every engagement is project-based under Mission Vatsalya, and selection does not create a right to regular government employment.
• Scheme rules: your engagement remains subject to the applicable Mission Vatsalya terms and guidelines.
• Travel costs: the office will not pay TA or DA for attending the walk-in interview.
• Administrative decision: the Deputy Commissioner may accept or reject an application without giving a reason, and the notice says correspondence on that decision will not be handled.

Certificate checking begins at District Child Protection Unit, Old Air India Building, Sri Vijaya Puram, while the interview is held later the same morning at the Conference Hall, Office of the Deputy Commissioner, South Andaman District.
