Career Counsellor 

OSCAR Foundation | Mumbai | Full-time | ₹35,000-₹60,000 per month | 5+ years experience

Help young people see a future they can believe in.

At OSCAR Foundation, we use sports as a tool for social change - helping children stay in school, build life skills and realise their potential.

We are now looking for a Career Counsellor to help take this journey further by supporting children and young people from Grade 8 onwards to understand their strengths, their career options, explore possibilities and make informed decisions about their future.

This is more than a counselling role.

You will have the opportunity to build OSCAR's Youth Career Readiness programme - shaping the curriculum, training our coaches and creating experiences that help young people connect education with the world of work.

What you will own:

• Conduct individual and group career counselling for young people.
• Conduct Aptitude tests
• Design and continuously improve an engaging, practical career-readiness curriculum.
• Train and enable OSCAR coaches to deliver career-readiness sessions.
• Create career exposure through professionals, mentors, institutions and workplace interactions.
• Track outcomes and use young people's feedback to continuously improve the programme.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has 5+ years of experience in career counselling, youth development, education, employability, L&D or a related field.
• Enjoys working directly with adolescents and young people.
• Is a strong counsellor, facilitator and communicator.
• Can create engaging content and turn complex career choices into practical conversations.
• Is passionate about creating opportunities for young people from diverse backgrounds.

Why join OSCAR

You will not be stepping into a fixed playbook.

You will build something, shape how we prepare young people for their future and potentially influence the lives of hundreds of young people across our programmes.
