At The NEST School, we believe university guidance should begin long before a student begins filling out an application.

We are looking for a University Guidance & Career Counselling Lead who will walk alongside our learners through their high school years — helping them understand themselves, explore possibilities, make informed career choices, build the right profile and ultimately identify universities where they can thrive.
Our students will pursue diverse pathways across India and universities around the world. We are therefore looking for someone who understands both the aspirations and realities of international-school students and can guide families through the complexity of Indian and global university admissions.
This is not a Grade 12 application-support role. It is a long-term student guidance and relationship-building role, combining career exploration, student mentoring, parent engagement, university knowledge and meticulous application management.

2. Guide Career & Academic Pathways
Work with students to explore career options and identify pathways that align with their interests, strengths and aspirations.
