Mental Health Professional, Psychiatric Social Worker & Other Posts

This opportunity is ideal for highly experienced mental health professionals (Psychiatrists, Clinical Psychologists, Social Workers, and Nurses) with a minimum of 15 years of field experience, who are looking to contribute their expertise at a policy and oversight level. It is also suitable for individuals with lived experience of mental illness, dedicated care givers, and representatives of NGOs actively involved in mental health services, who seek to advocate and represent their respective communities within a state-level authority in Arunachal Pradesh. Candidates should be prepared for a non-official, advisory, or contractual role focused on public service.

Individuals seeking permanent government employment with a traditional career progression and a fixed, high pay scale should not apply. Those without significant, specific experience (especially the 15 years required for professional roles) or who do not fall into the distinct representational categories will find this role unsuitable. Applicants who are not committed to working within Arunachal Pradesh or are unwilling to submit a physical, offline application process should also consider other opportunities.

Empanelment with a State Mental Health Authority offers substantial prestige and the opportunity to influence mental health policy and services across Arunachal Pradesh. While these roles may be advisory or contractual rather than traditional full-time positions, they provide a significant platform for professional recognition, networking, and direct contribution to public health. The long-term growth is centered on policy impact and professional influence rather than conventional career advancement.
