JRHMS CHO recruitment 2026: apply for 1,038 posts by November 22

The Jharkhand Rural Health Mission Society (JRHMS) has released a notification for the recruitment of 1,038 Community Health Officer (CHO) posts. These positions are contractual, initially for one year and renewable, and are open to eligible candidates across Jharkhand.

The online application window for these vacancies will commence on October 31, 2026, and conclude on November 22, 2026. This recruitment aims to strengthen community health services within the state, building upon previous efforts such as the 2023 recruitment for 1,400 CHO posts.

Eligibility and Remuneration Details

Candidates applying for the Community Health Officer positions must possess a B.Sc. Nursing or Post Basic B.Sc. Nursing degree, which includes an integrated curriculum of the Certificate Program in Community Health (CPCH). Furthermore, applicants must have passed their qualifying examination in the academic year 2016–2020 or later. Jharkhand Nursing Council registration is a mandatory requirement at the time of joining.

The monthly remuneration for a Community Health Officer is set at ₹25,000. Also, a performance-based incentive of up to ₹15,000 per month is offered. While the primary source does not explicitly state the age limit for CHO recruitment, a related recruitment for Specialist Medical Officer posts by JRHMS indicates an age limit of 23 to 64 years as on October 31, 2026. Age relaxation of 5 years is applicable for Divyang (Persons with Disabilities) candidates.

Selection Process and Minimum Marks

The selection process for the CHO posts will be based on merit, determined by the scores obtained in the final B.Sc and Post Basic B.Sc theory and practical examinations. To qualify for selection, candidates must achieve minimum marks varying by category.

Candidates claiming reservation benefits must submit a Caste Certificate or EWS Certificate issued by a competent authority of Jharkhand. The engagement is purely contractual and does not confer any claim for regular appointment. The Society reserves the right to cancel any or all positions at any stage of the recruitment process, and the agreement may be terminated by either party with one month’s advance notice.
