The District Health Office in Umerkot has opened 571 Class-IV posts across the district's health facilities, inviting applications from candidates who hold a domicile of District Umerkot. The vacancies, in grades BPS-01 to BPS-04, were advertised in the Daily Dawn on 4 November 2026, and applications must reach the District Health Office by 16 November 2026.

The posts cover the support staff that keep hospitals and clinics running day to day. They include sanitary workers, chowkidars, ayas and dais, naib qasids, attendants, ward servants, drivers, electricians, plumbers, nursing orderlies, operation theatre assistants, laboratory attendants, dhobis, cooks, malhis, machine men and bearers. The largest groups are the sanitary workers, chowkidars and ayas, who together make up most of the advertised posts.

Only candidates holding a domicile of District Umerkot can apply. The age limit is 18 to 28 years, with a general relaxation of five years in the upper age limit under Government of Sindh rules. Most BPS-01 posts ask for no more than a primary pass or basic literacy, BPS-02 posts ask for a middle pass, and the BPS-04 posts ask for a matric pass. Drivers must hold a valid LTV or HTV licence, be able to maintain a log book and have at least five years of driving experience, while electricians need an electric licence and plumbers, nursing orderlies and laboratory attendants need relevant experience. The advertisement states that the sanitary worker posts are open to non-Muslim candidates only, in line with court orders and government policy.

Appointments will be temporary at first and made permanent on satisfactory completion of probation under the Sindh Services (Appointment, Promotion and Transfer) Rules, 1973. The recruitment follows an order of the Sindh High Court, Circuit Court Mirpurkhas, and decisions of the Government of Sindh cabinet, and the posts appear in the Budget Book for the financial year 2026-27. The prescribed quotas will apply, with 5 per cent reserved for differently abled persons, 15 per cent for women, 5 per cent for minorities and 0.5 per cent for transgender candidates.

Applications must be submitted in person to the District Health Office, Umerkot, during office hours from 9am to 5pm, on or before 16 November 2026. Applicants should attach the prescribed application form, two passport-size photographs and attested copies of their academic certificates, CNIC, domicile certificate and permanent residence certificate, along with a driving licence or experience certificates where the post requires them. Candidates already in government service must apply through the proper channel with a no-objection certificate.

Only shortlisted candidates will be called for a test or interview, and no travel or daily allowance will be paid for appearing. Any attempt at canvassing will lead to disqualification. The official portal for Sindh government vacancies is iwork4sindh.com, and applicants should check the advertisement there before submitting. No fee is charged through any agent, and nobody should pay anyone who claims they can secure one of these posts.
