ECHS Ministry of Defence 2026 Recruitment: Nursing Assistant (Nurse) Vacancy in Vasco, Goa

This role is ideally suited for dedicated and experienced Nursing professionals, particularly those with a BSC Nursing degree and at least 5 years of experience, or diploma holders with over 10 years of experience. A significant preference (70% reservation) is for Ex-Servicemen (ESM) candidates, making this an excellent opportunity for qualified military veterans seeking a stable contractual position in healthcare. Candidates should be prepared for a competitive in-person interview process and immediate unpaid on-job training.

Candidates without the stipulated minimum experience (5 years for BSC Nursing, over 10 years for others) should not apply. Those unwilling to work on a contractual basis for an initial period of 11 months, or who expect immediate permanent employment, may find this role unsuitable. Applicants not meeting the precise educational and experience criteria, or who are unable to attend the in-person interview in Vasco, Goa, on the specified date, should also reconsider.

Working with the Ex-Servicemen Contributory Health Scheme (ECHS) under the Ministry of Defence offers a reputable association with a Central Government healthcare initiative. While the position is contractual, it provides valuable experience within a structured environment and contributes to a vital service for ex-servicemen. Opportunities for renewal are performance-based, indicating potential for continued engagement, though long-term career progression might require transitioning to permanent roles elsewhere. The role offers a fixed, competitive remuneration for the contractual duration.
