Required documents include a copy of the CNIC, academic certificates, experience letters (if applicable), and a recent photograph. It’s crucial to submit the complete application before the specified deadline.

Most positions at the CPWB do not require an application fee, but applicants should always verify this information in the official job advertisement. Certain contract-based roles, particularly those managed through third-party NGOs, might involve nominal processing charges.

The selection process typically involves multiple stages, beginning with the screening of applications to shortlist eligible candidates. Technical and legal roles often include a written test, followed by an interview conducted before a panel of CPWB officers. The final merit list is prepared based on combined test scores and interview performance. Selected candidates must then undergo a medical examination and background check before formal appointment. Applicants are advised to prepare for scenario-based questions related to child protection cases during the interview stage.
