The District Child Protection Unit (DCPU), Buxar has invited applications for 15 Support Person (सहायक व्यक्ति) positions under the POCSO Act, 2012 and the POCSO Rules, 2020. This is not a regular job with a monthly salary. It is a temporary empanelment for 2 years, and you are paid Rs 9,000 for every POCSO case you support. If you work in child rights, social work, counselling or law, this is a meaningful way to serve children in your own district.
Only residents of Buxar district can apply, and the form must go by Registered Post or Speed Post. There is no online form. The last date depends on the day the advertisement appears in the newspaper, so read the dates section carefully. GovtJobsAlert.in has put everything from the Hindi notification into simple English below, including the conditions that can get your application rejected.
The DCPU Buxar works from the Collectorate, Buxar, under the Social Welfare Department, Government of Bihar. Support Persons help children who are victims of sexual offences, giving them legal, social and psychological support during a POCSO case. This is a Bihar government job at district level.

The age limit is the same one used to select Child Welfare Committee members under the Bihar Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Rules, 2017. The notification mentions no age relaxation for any category, and your age is counted from the advertisement’s publication date, not the date you post the form. If you are a graduate looking for government jobs or hold a post graduate degree, check your qualification route before anything else.

This is not a monthly salary. You earn only for cases you handle, so the total depends on how many cases the Child Welfare Committee assigns you in two years. The notification does not promise any minimum number of cases. Think of it as meaningful service work with case-based payment, not a fixed income.

| Event | Date |

The notification gives no fixed calendar date, and the newspaper publication date is not in the PDF. The 21 November 2026 figure is our own estimate, counted from the 31 October 2026 memo date, so treat it as approximate. Check the newspaper advertisement or the Buxar district website, count 21 days from that date, and post your form well ahead of it. The rule is that forms received after the fixed date will not be considered.
The advertisement and the application form do not mention any application fee. Do not send any money with your form unless the form itself asks for it.
If you live in Buxar, meet the qualification and are between 30 and 65 years of age, this is a rare chance to support children through some of the hardest days of their lives. Collect your certificates and affidavits now, start counting from the newspaper date, and post your form early. For more Bihar government job notifications, keep visiting GovtJobsAlert.in.
