Facilitator & Guide

What you'll do

• Run Sessions: Facilitate mental fitness sessions for groups of up to 15 people, online and offline, start to finish. Flow, timing, group energy, the participant who turns every reflection into a twenty-minute origin story, you handle all of it. You'll work within a session design, and you'll also know when the room is telling you something the plan didn't account for.
• Warm the Room Before Anyone Arrives: Our online sessions have a WhatsApp group. Before each session, you're the one making it feel like something worth showing up for. Build comfort, spark curiosity, ease people toward the session with genuine warmth.
• Stay With People After: Post-session, you check in, encourage reflection, and hold space for processing that continues beyond the hour. You collect feedback, the structured kind and the voice note that arrives at 11pm and bring it all back to the team.
• Think With Us: You're a contributing member of the team, and your observations from every session matter. What landed, what surprised you, what the group seemed to need that the design didn't quite give them. Your insights shape how our sessions grow.

What we're looking for

• A Master's degree or higher in Psychology, Neuroscience, Counselling, Mental Health, or a closely related field.
• Emotional intelligence that shows up in real time, with a real person, in a hard moment rather than only in how you describe yourself on paper.
• The capacity to hold space for vulnerable and emotionally complex conversations with full presence and steady groundedness.
• A genuinely queer-affirming and inclusive approach.
• A Bangalore base. Offline sessions are a real and essential part of the role.
• Comfort working in a startup where the role and the role description are always in conversation with each other.
• Prior facilitation experience is a plus. Meaningful group work through therapy, teaching, research, or community spaces also counts.

What you'll get

• A one-month shadowing period so you arrive in the room with context and confidence, and your first session feels like your tenth.
• Hands-on experience in one of India's most interesting and underexplored spaces.
• Close collaboration with a small, thoughtful, genuinely invested team.
• Real exposure to session design, community psychology, and experiential facilitation.
• A role where the work matters, and you'll feel that consistently.
