We're Hiring: Student Counselor – Kochi, Kerala

New Zealand Skills Connect | Full-Time | Hybrid

Are you passionate about helping internationally qualified nurses build successful careers in New Zealand? New Zealand Skills Connect is growing, and we're looking for a dedicated Student Counselor to join our Kochi team.

About Us

We empower internationally qualified nurses (IQNs) to succeed in the New Zealand healthcare system through expert-led IQN training and OSCE preparation — fully aligned with NZ nursing standards and regulatory requirements. Our learners are globally based, and our mission is to help them transition confidently into the NZ healthcare workforce.

The Role

Based in our Kochi office with hybrid flexibility, you'll be the first point of contact for prospective and current nursing students — guiding them through program options, admission pathways, NZ student visa processes, and career planning as they work toward NZ registration.

What You'll Do

• Conduct one-on-one counseling sessions covering course selection, career pathways, and NZ student visa options
• Guide students through New Zealand student visa requirements, documentation, and application processes
• Respond to inquiries via email, phone, and online platforms
• Support students through enrollment in IQN and OSCE programs
• Liaise with relevant NZ immigration and regulatory bodies where required
• Deliver information sessions on NZ nursing pathways, visa options, and registration requirements
• Provide ongoing pastoral support throughout the student journey
• Collaborate with academic and administrative teams for a seamless learner experience
• Maintain accurate student interaction records in our CRM/student management system

What We're Looking For

✅ Tertiary qualification in counseling, education, psychology, social work, or a related field

✅ Demonstrated experience in student or career counseling

✅ Knowledge of New Zealand student visa programs and immigration pathways — experience as a visa counselor or education agent is a strong advantage

✅ Strong communication and customer service skills — empathetic, professional, and culturally sensitive

✅ Comfortable working with international learners across digital platforms

✅ Experience in healthcare or nursing education is highly beneficial

✅ Proficient with CRM/student management systems and online communication tools

✅ Self-motivated with excellent organizational and time-management skills

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a purpose-driven organization making a real difference in nurses' lives
• Work with a globally connected, supportive team
• Hybrid work arrangement offering flexibility
• Opportunity to grow alongside a fast-expanding education provider
