Nagapattinam District Health Society Recruitment 2026 - 44 Health Inspector, ANM, MLHP & More, Apply now

The District Health Society, Nagapattinam, has released a recruitment notification for 44 posts on contract basis — spanning Health Inspector, ANM/UHN, Data Entry Operator, Medical Officer (Siddha), Radiographer, Psychologist, Physiotherapist, and several other health and paramedical roles. Candidates with qualifications ranging from 8th pass to postgraduate/professional degrees can apply offline by 9 October 2026, with all posts based in Nagapattinam.

Who Should Apply

This notification covers 22 distinct post types with very different qualification bars. Here's the full breakdown as listed in the notification (the individual post counts below add up to 45 against a stated total of 44 — likely a minor duplication in the listing, most probably around the two "Health Inspector Grade II" / "Psychologist" entries — so treat the total of 44 as the confirmed figure and [check] the exact per-post split against the official notification PDF):

All posts are on contract basis and purely temporary in nature.

Eligibility & Age Limit

Eligibility is entirely post-specific — see the table above for each role's exact qualification requirement. Most posts carry a maximum age limit of 35 years; exceptions are Mid Level Health Provider (up to 50 years), Senior Tuberculosis Laboratory Supervisor (up to 40 years), and the three Siddha-stream posts (Dispenser Siddha Pharmacist, Medical Officer Siddha, Pharmacist Siddha), which the notification describes as having no fixed age limit or a maximum appointment age of 59 years under the NRHM/NAM scheme. The notification does not give a common minimum age or specific SC/ST/OBC/PwBD/ex-servicemen age relaxation figures across these posts.

Salary & Pay Scale

This is a fixed monthly consolidated pay, not a 7th CPC pay-matrix post, and it varies widely by role — from ₹11,000 for Multi Purpose Hospital Worker up to ₹44,000 for Micro Biologist. Check the table above for your specific post's pay before applying; there's no single uniform salary across this recruitment.

How Are Candidates Selected

Short Listing: Applications are screened against the specific qualification, age, and experience criteria for the post applied for.

Why This Job Matters

This recruitment runs under Tamil Nadu's District Health Society framework, most likely linked to the National Health Mission (NHM) and National AIDS Control Programme (NAM), which together deliver a large share of the state's primary and community healthcare workforce. The unusually wide spread of posts — from an 8th-pass hospital worker to a Microbiologist requiring an MD — reflects how a single District Health Society recruitment can cover an entire local health system's staffing needs at once, all posted within Nagapattinam district itself.

The FreshersLike Take

Best fit: This suits candidates already holding one of the specific paramedical, nursing, or health-science qualifications listed above who want a Nagapattinam-based healthcare role and don't mind a contract (not permanent) appointment.

Who should think twice: Pay varies dramatically by post (₹11,000 to ₹44,000) and every single post is contract-based with no stated permanency path, so if you need long-term job security this notification alone won't provide it — also, several posts (Counselor, Micro Biologist, Senior TB Lab Supervisor) demand specific prior work experience on top of the degree, which rules out fresh graduates for those particular roles.

Practical tip: Because the vacancy list itself has an unresolved counting discrepancy (22 line items summing to 45 against a stated total of 44), don't rely on this or any secondary source for your exact post's vacancy count — download the official notification PDF and confirm your specific post's vacancy number and full qualification wording before you prepare your documents.

Documents Required

• Recent photograph
• Self-attested copies of educational certificates matching your chosen post's qualification
• Self-attested copies of experience certificates, where the post requires prior experience
• Proof of Date of Birth (required specifically for Multi Purpose Hospital Worker; likely applicable to other posts too) [check]
• Any professional registration certificate relevant to your post (e.g., Medical Council registration, Paramedical Council registration), where applicable

What Happens After Selection

The notification does not specify joining timelines, probation, or training details beyond the short-listing and interview stages. [check] Check the official notification PDF or contact the District Health Society office directly for these details once shortlisted.

Contact & Helpline

Applications are to be sent to: Executive Secretary / District Health Officer, District Health Society, District Health Office, Nagapattinam District. This is the official channel named for this recruitment — the Society will not contact candidates through any other number or address for payment or personal details.

Common Questions

What is the last date to apply?

09 October 2026, offline only.

Is this a permanent job?

No, all 44 posts are on a contract basis and are purely temporary.

Can an 8th pass candidate apply?

Yes, but only for the Multi Purpose Hospital Worker post, which requires 8th Standard pass (a 10th Standard fail is acceptable) along with the ability to read and write English and Tamil.

Where will selected candidates be posted?

The official place of posting for all 44 positions is Nagapattinam.

Is there an application fee?

No application fee is mentioned in the notification.

Is there a written exam?

No written exam is mentioned. Selection is through short-listing of applications followed by an interview.

Can I apply for more than one post?

The notification does not explicitly address this. [check] Check the official notification PDF or contact the District Health Society office to confirm before applying for multiple posts.

Why do the vacancy numbers in this post add up to 45 and not 44?

The notification's post-wise list has a couple of overlapping entries (a "Health Inspector Grade II" line and a "Psychologist" line each appear twice with the same qualification). The stated overall total is 44 — treat that as the reliable figure and confirm your specific post's exact vacancy count against the official PDF.
