Post-wise Duties
Record Assistant
You will organise and retrieve physical and digital records, handle routine data and correspondence, and follow office security and compliance practices.
Office Subordinate
You will support filing, scanning, schedules and data entry, and help the office maintain spreadsheets, books and everyday administrative records.

You will keep assigned areas clean, sanitary and safe, segregate and dispose of waste correctly, and use cleaning materials and equipment with care. The work can move to different places when battalion companies relocate.

You will prepare and serve routine and multi-cuisine meals, manage ingredients and rations, maintain food-safety standards and look after garrison or field-kitchen equipment.

Barbers
You will provide haircut, shaving and grooming services to police personnel, record the daily work and keep blades, scissors and other tools secure and hygienic.
Service Conditions and Caveats
- Outsourced status: Appointment does not make you a member of government service or give you preference for another post. The engagement may be ended for administrative reasons.
- Mobility: Sweepers, scavengers, cooks, dhobis and barbers must move across the state with the battalion companies when directed.
- Headquarters duty: Staff must stay at the bona fide headquarters and remain available on call during emergencies.

- Leave: Outsourced staff receive leave under the applicable government orders; qualifying married women employees can receive paid maternity leave for the first two deliveries.
- Conduct: Private practice is not allowed during employment, and candidates must meet the stated health, character, citizenship and service-conduct conditions.
