Stenotypist

About This Job

The Office of the Wafaqi Mohtasib, Pakistan's Federal Ombudsman, has announced a fresh vacancy for one Stenotypist at its Regional Office in Gilgit-Baltistan. The engagement is on a contract basis under Article-20 of the President's Order No.1 of 1983, the legal mechanism the Ombudsman Secretariat routinely uses to staff its regional offices outside the regular federal civil-service recruitment cycle. The post carries a status and pay package equivalent to BS-14 of the federal government's pay scale, making it a meaningful clerical/stenography opening for a region where formal-sector government jobs of this kind are relatively scarce. The Regional Office in Gilgit-Baltistan handles public complaints of maladministration against federal agencies operating in the region, so the successful candidate would be supporting the Ombudsman's core grievance-redressal mandate for GB residents. Because the Wafaqi Mohtasib operates under constitutional and statutory authority independent of any single federal ministry, its regional offices are typically small, tightly staffed units, which makes each individual vacancy notice like this one comparatively rare for job seekers based in Gilgit-Baltistan.

Applicants must hold an Intermediate-level qualification and demonstrate a minimum shorthand speed of 80 words per minute along with a typing speed of 40 words per minute; basic computer literacy is also mandatory, since the role involves drafting and formatting official correspondence and case files. The age bracket is 18 to 30 years, and this ceiling already factors in the standard five-year general age relaxation available to applicants; notably, both fresh graduates and retired government servants are eligible to apply, with retired government employees allowed up to 65 years of age given their prior service. Crucially, this post is restricted to candidates who hold a genuine domicile of Gilgit-Baltistan - applicants from other provinces or territories are not eligible, reflecting the office's intent to recruit locally for its GB regional presence.

Interested and eligible candidates should obtain and complete the official application form attached to the advertisement, attach attested photocopies of all educational certificates, domicile, CNIC and any other supporting documents, and submit the complete package by post or courier to the Director (Admn), Office of the Wafaqi Mohtasib, 36-Constitution Avenue, Sector G-5/2, Islamabad. Applications must reach this address within 14 days of the advertisement's publication date of 25 September 2026, with the office's own website listing 8 October 2026 as the formal closing date. No application fee is mentioned in the advertisement. Candidates with questions about the process can call 051-9217212 for clarification. Given the narrow window and the once-a-year nature of such regional postings in Gilgit-Baltistan, eligible candidates are strongly encouraged to prepare their documents and dispatch their applications well ahead of the deadline.
