Tirunelveli Child Helpline Recruitment 2026: Counsellor & Case Worker

Tirunelveli Child Helpline Recruitment 2026 invites applications for two contract-based positions at the District Child Protection Unit (DCPU) under Child Helpline 1098. The official Tirunelveli district recruitment listing identifies one Counsellor post and one Case Worker post. The notice was listed on 8 October 2026 and gives 23 October 2026 as the closing date. Applicants must download and read the official notification and application form before sending their application.

This is a district-level, contract recruitment—not a permanent government appointment. Candidates should rely on the district administration’s notice for qualification, age, remuneration, contract terms, application address and required enclosures. Those details must not be guessed from similar vacancies in other districts.

Tirunelveli Child Helpline Recruitment 2026: Overview

Vacancy details

Only two positions are identified in the district notice. Candidates should apply for the post for which they meet the specific qualification and experience conditions. The notification and its attached application form are the controlling documents for eligibility and submission instructions.

About Child Helpline 1098 and DCPU work

Child Helpline 1098 is a support service for children who may need care, protection or assistance. Work connected with child protection can involve receiving information about a child in need, coordinating with relevant authorities and service providers, maintaining records, and supporting appropriate referral and follow-up. The precise responsibilities of the advertised Counsellor and Case Worker positions must be read in the official job description; the general description here is not a substitute for the notification.

Applicants considering these roles should understand that child-protection work requires confidentiality, careful record handling, respectful communication and adherence to safeguarding procedures. Any candidate selected for a role involving children must follow the instructions, protocols and supervision arrangements established by the competent department.

Educational qualification and experience

Important: The short official recruitment listing confirms the post names and number of vacancies, but its summary does not reproduce the complete qualification and experience criteria. The official notice PDF linked from the district recruitment page must be opened to confirm the exact degree, subject, experience, professional requirements and any other eligibility conditions for each post.

Do not assume that the Counsellor and Case Worker posts have identical qualifications. Read the eligibility section separately for each role. Applicants should compare the wording of the notification with the title and subject on their certificates, and should ensure that any required work experience can be supported by valid certificates or employer records.

Age limit

The brief district listing does not state an age limit in its summary. The age requirement, cut-off date and any relaxation must therefore be checked in the official PDF. Do not rely on an age limit published for a different DCPU, a different district or an earlier recruitment cycle.

Salary / honorarium

The short listing does not display the monthly remuneration for either position. Candidates should consult the attached official notification for the sanctioned honorarium, payment terms and any conditions related to the contract. This article intentionally does not insert an unverified salary figure.

Selection process

The exact selection procedure must be confirmed in the notification. Depending on the stated terms, the competent authority may prescribe scrutiny of applications, qualification and experience verification, interview or another assessment. Applicants should not assume that there will or will not be a written test unless the official notice says so. Only shortlisted candidates should rely on communication issued by the district administration or the responsible department.

Important dates

Do not wait until the final day. Allow time to download the application form, fill it correctly, gather supporting certificates and submit it in the format and at the address specified in the official notice. If the application is to be sent by post or delivered in person, account for delivery time and any stated office-hour restrictions.
