Good news for social work graduates in Kerala. The Government Medical College Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram (GMCHT) has invited applications for 7 Social Worker Trainee posts in its Emergency Department (Casualty). The posts come under the Karunya Arogya Suraksha Padhathi (KASP) scheme. If you have recently finished your MSW, this is a real chance to get hospital experience in a government casualty ward.
The last date to apply online is 21 November 2026, 5:00 PM. This is a short window, so do not wait for the final evening. Read the conditions in this article carefully, because the MSW must be recent and the engagement is as a trainee, not a regular job.
