The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has declared more than 9,000 vacancies to replace teachers who exited the service through natural attrition.
In a notice issued on Tuesday, November 25, the Commission announced that it was seeking to recruit 7,065 posts for primary schools, 12 posts for junior schools and 2,082 posts for secondary schools.
According to TSC, these teachers will serve on a permanent and pensionable basis, with eligible candidates directed to apply for the vacant slots.
To qualify for the recruitment, an applicant must be a Kenyan citizen and must be duly registered by the Commission.
The applicant must also be a holder of a minimum of a P1 certificate in the case of Primary Schools and a minimum of a Diploma in Education in the case of Junior Schools and Secondary Schools.
How to Apply
Interested candidates were urged to send their application online through the TSC's website, tsc.go.ke under 'Careers' or teachersonline.tsc.go.ke not later than December 8, 2025.
In its notice, TSC reiterated that it would strictly apply its recruitment guidelines for the 2025/2026 financial year and that the merit list generated during this recruitment would be used in subsequent selection processes within the current financial year.
Shortlisted candidates will be required to present original academic and professional certificates, including the Kenya Certificate of Primary and Secondary Education.
The Commission warned successful candidates against filling out more than one application for the employment form. According to TSC, filling out two or more applications for employment forms will lead to disqualification.
"Manual applications will not be considered. Preference will be given to applicants who have not previously been employed by the Teachers Service Commission," TSC announced.
According to the Commission, successful candidates will be posted to serve in any part of the country and not necessarily in the county or school where they were interviewed.
During the announcement, TSC stated that the recruitment exercise is free of charge, further warning applicants against fraudsters who might extort money from them.
