JSCPS JJB and CWC Members Recruitment 2026: Overview

Jharkhand State Child Protection Society (JSCPS), under the Department of Women, Child Development and Social Security, is seeking Social Worker Members, Chairpersons and Members for district child-protection bodies. The notice covers Juvenile Justice Boards (JJBs) and Child Welfare Committees (CWCs) across the listed districts of Jharkhand. These are honorary appointments, and you must be able to give the board or committee the time and attention its work needs.

Posts and Disciplines

• JJB Social Worker Members: The district table lists positions in Dumka and Simdega, along with female-member positions in Lohardaga and Sahibganj. These appointments form the social-work side of the district Juvenile Justice Boards.
• CWC Chairpersons: Chairperson roles are listed for Dumka, Giridih and Ramgarh. You would serve on the Child Welfare Committee for the district where you are appointed.
• CWC Members: Member positions are listed for Lohardaga and Ramgarh, with female-member positions in Dumka and Jamtara. The notice distinguishes these entries, so check the district and role together when recording your preference.

Service Conditions and Caveats

• Honorary term: Engagement is for three years. Your appointment takes effect when you join at district level, subject to a position being available in that district.
• Panel validity: The recommended panel stays valid for one year from selection. A place on the panel must be read alongside the availability of a district vacancy.
• Time commitment: You must not hold a full-time occupation that prevents you from giving proper attention to board or committee work. Consider how your present responsibilities would fit with the role before applying.

• Travel costs: No travel or daily allowance is paid for attending the interview. Make your own arrangements if you are called.
