NATIONAL HEALTH MISSION CHANDIGARH Recruitment 2026: 02 Counselor (Tele Mental Health Programme) Vacancies

This role is ideal for dedicated professionals holding a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, Social Work, or related fields, seeking a direct entry into public health. Candidates with a Bachelor's degree in these fields and at least two years of mental health work experience, especially counseling, are also encouraged. The position offers a valuable opportunity to contribute to the 'Tele Mental Health Programme' in Chandigarh, particularly appealing to those with prior COVID-19 related work experience, which is given additional weight in selection.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment should not apply, as this is a contractual position initially valid until March 31, 2027. Those without the specified Master's degree or the required Bachelor's degree with 2 years of experience in mental health will not meet the essential qualifications. Applicants looking for roles outside Chandigarh or with generalist qualifications may also find this unsuitable.

Working with the National Health Mission (NHM) under the Chandigarh Administration offers a respected platform within the public health sector. While contractual, the role provides significant exposure and experience in a critical area of mental health, enhancing a candidate's profile for future public service or health-related positions. The specific project focus ensures direct impact and professional development in a specialized domain.
