Working With The
Jai Hind Project
The only open position we have
Now, the only position we have is this: An Intern!
Please allow us to explain.
​
You see, an interview, looking at resumes, and checking referrals is a great way to ask people to join organisations. We additionally believe that people who have to work closely in a structure that requires creativity, meaning and collaboration, should see each other and decide ‘Wah! Mazaa aa gaya…yahi hai mera ghar.”
So, irrespective of what level of work is to be done in the project and how experienced people are, we encourage them to first come and spend 90 days working with us. This is a good enough time for everyone to know each other and decide if The Jai Hind project is for you. We are very careful in taking on people as teammates and typically people not looking for meaningful work in the social sector do not last.
We believe in the constitution of India and are a secular organisation. All roles at the project are for people who are social issues savvy, India oriented and have a special interest in storytelling.
Our compensation system is based on this: Our people should be able to live a dignified life, and not be ashamed of choosing to work for the social sector. It should not just be 'passion' that drives them. Their children should be able to go to good colleges. They should be able to afford decent lives and homes.
Values of The Jai Hind Team
The Jai Hind Project is not just a job for us. Whilst we pay ourselves and come to work every day at an office, there is hardly a day when we do not remind ourselves of why we started the project in the first place.
It starts with India. We believe that India needs more and better heroes and role models to tackle a multitude of problems we face at our grassroots level and that each of us can be an ‘everyday hero’. Technically, we are storytellers, researchers, writers and filmmakers, and everyone has a role to play, but come closer and observe, and you will find why we see our work as an act of service.
Please take some time to read through our values, but more importantly, the behaviours that go with each:
