Greater Chennai Corporation staff nurse recruitment 2026: apply offline by 25 September

The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), through the Chennai City Urban Health Mission (CCUHM), has officially released a notification for the recruitment of 512 contractual and temporary Staff Nurse positions. Applications for these roles are being accepted offline from 16 September 2026, with a deadline of 25 September 2026, 5:00 PM. These vacancies are intended to fill positions in various institutions under the Directorate of Public Health and Preventive Medicine, Directorate of Medical and Rural Health Services, Directorate of Medical Education & Research, and the Greater Chennai Corporation itself.

This recruitment drive is part of a broader Tamil Nadu-wide National Health Mission (NHM) Staff Nurse initiative. Candidates specifically applying for institutions within the Greater Chennai Corporation must submit their forms directly to the Chennai City Urban Health Mission office, rather than any other district office. The estimated number of vacancies, currently set at 512, may be subject to change.

Eligibility Criteria and Application Process

Prospective candidates for the Staff Nurse positions must not exceed 50 years of age. The required educational qualifications include either a General Nursing and Midwifery (GNM) diploma or a B.Sc. Nursing degree obtained from a Government or Government-approved Private Nursing College, recognized by the Indian Nursing Council. Also, applicants must hold a valid registration with the Tamil Nadu Nurses and Midwives Council. Knowledge of Tamil, verifiable through 10th or 12th mark sheets, is also a requirement mentioned in the application form.

The application form, along with district-wise vacancy details, can be downloaded from two official websites: nhm.tn.gov.in and www.chennaicorporation.gov.in. Completed applications, accompanied by relevant document photocopies, must be sent to The City Health Officer/Member Secretary, Chennai City Urban Health Mission, Public Health Department, 3rd floor, Amma Maaligai, Ripon Buildings, EVR Periyar Salai, Chennai – 600 003. Applications received after the 25 September 2026, 5:00 PM deadline will not be considered.

Selection Procedure and Employment Terms

The selection process for these contractual/temporary Staff Nurse posts will involve several stages. Initially, all submitted applications will undergo scrutiny. Following this, candidates will be shortlisted based on merit, and the final stage will involve document verification. The official notifications provided do not mention any application fee for this recruitment.

The positions are purely temporary and contractual, with an initial engagement period of approximately 11 months. The approximate consolidated salary for a Staff Nurse is set between ₹18,000 and ₹21,000 per month. This recruitment follows a previous Chennai Corporation drive in 2026, which invited applications for 189 staff nurse and ANM vacancies with a last date of 05 January 2026, where the Staff Nurse salary was ₹18,000 per month.
