About NavGurukul

NavGurukul is a not-for-profit founded in 2016 on a mission to create access to aspirational careers for students from marginalised communities. We run fully-funded residential programmes in programming, finance, business, education, and design and help students land real jobs. Currently, 1,200+ students are learning across 8 campuses in India. Six of our eight campuses are women-only, a conscious choice because inclusion is core to who we are.n

Our students arrive having beaten significant odds. They manage their own campuses through elected student bodies, learn at their own pace, and support each other as peers. 1,500+ alumni are now working in tech, collectively earning ₹50 crore+ annually.

About The Role

Student wellbeing at NavGurukul is not a side programme it is central to what makes this model work. Students live, eat, and learn on campus together. Their health, sense of belonging, and ability to navigate stress directly shapes how they learn and grow.n

You will travel across all 8 campuses, build direct relationships with students, and work with campus teams to create wellness systems that are practical, evidence-based, and sustainable. This is a ground-up, high-ownership role.

What You Will Do

Student Wellbeing on Campus

- Visit all 8 campuses regularly to understand student wellbeing needs and build direct, trusted relationships.
- Offer unbiased listening spaces and use non-violent communication (NVC) techniques to support students through emotional challenges.




- Design and run peer-support circles, reflection sessions, and wellness workshops tailored to each campus context.
- Identify students in distress, including those quietly struggling, and connect them to appropriate resources through clear, low-barrier pathways.
- Respond to emotional crises with sound judgment, drawing on legal, medical, and psychosocial considerations as needed.

Campus Team Capacity Building

- Train campus mentors and staff to identify and respond confidently to student wellbeing situations.
- Support campus leads navigating complex student situations co-regulating with them, not just advising from a distance.
- Develop toolkits, guides, and playbooks that campus teams can use independently, so the system outlasts your visit.
- Begin to build structured response plans that campus teams can activate during a crisis without waiting for you.

Ecosystem Building

- Identify and develop relationships with relevant local partners hospitals, mental health professionals, local NGOs, community organisations, and government bodies.
- Understand how different organisations can contribute to student wellbeing and coordinate collaborative referral pathways.
- Maintain these relationships over time and help campus teams engage with them effectively.

Systems and Learning





- Build lightweight tracking systems to monitor student wellbeing across campuses over time.
- Document patterns, insights, and what works building NavGurukul's institutional knowledge on wellness.
- Design and iterate on a NavGurukul wellness framework grounded in ground-level evidence.

Community and Belonging

- Facilitate community-building activities that strengthen student belonging and connection.
- Support students in navigating interpersonal conflicts constructively.
- Help campus teams build inclusive cultures that celebrate student diversity.

Is This Role for You?

This is for you if...n
- You can spend a week on campus, run a peer support circle with students you've just met, identify those quietly struggling, and leave a practical note for the team.
- Building a wellness tracker, designing a team training, and running a student workshop in the same week sounds exciting, not exhausting.
- You are energised by travel and being across campuses, not drained by it.
- You can start from scratch and write your own playbook.

This is not for you if...

- You need to be in one place and prefer structured routines.
- Frequent inter-campus travel feels draining rather than part of the work.
- You need a detailed brief before you can act.
- You want to support one student at a time, not build systems for hundreds.

What We're Looking For

- 2–3 years of experience in social work, counselling, community development, public health, education, or student support.
- Demonstrated experience designing or facilitating group sessions, workshops, or peer pro
