DH&FWS Purba Bardhaman Recruitment 2026: Block Data Manager and Staff Nurse Vacancy Guide
The District Health & Family Welfare Samity (DH&FWS), Purba Bardhaman has invited online applications for 27 contractual posts under the Fifteenth Finance Commission. There are 6 Block Data Manager posts for Block Public Health Units and 21 Staff Nurse posts for Urban Health Wellness Centres and Polyclinics. Pay is a consolidated Rs 22,000 to Rs 25,000 a month, so this is a good chance for West Bengal govt job seekers.
The last date to fill the online form is 13 November 2026. This notice replaces an older one from 5 December 2025, which the Samity has cancelled, so do not rely on anything you saw earlier. Read your own post carefully, because the two posts ask for very different qualifications. Keep GovtJobsAlert.in open as your guide while you apply.
