PSC announces over 762 job vacancies across ministries, state departments

The Commission invited applications from qualified candidates for a wide range of positions spanning senior management, technical roles and entry-level opportunities.

The vacancies are distributed across key sectors, including internal security, correctional services, national treasury, public works, housing, agriculture, livestock, gender, ICT, sports, foreign affairs and the blue economy.

A significant portion of the openings falls under promotional positions, with dozens of roles at director, deputy director and assistant director levels.

These include positions in peacebuilding and conflict management, probation services, engineering, housing development, livestock production, veterinary services, and public communications.

The Commission also advertised numerous technical and professional roles such as engineers, lecturers, laboratory technologists, architects, and communication specialists.

Notably, the public communications directorate alone accounts for a substantial number of vacancies, alongside positions in gender and affirmative action and foreign service.

In addition, PSC has opened entry-level opportunities targeting early-career professionals. These include roles such as weights and measures officers, trade development officers, co-operative auditors, information officers, public communication officers, photojournalists, lecturers and instructors.

The entry-level positions account for a sizable share of the total vacancies, reinforcing the government’s push to absorb young professionals into public service.

According to the Commission, interested applicants can access full job descriptions, requirements, and application procedures through its official website: publicservice.go.ke.

The deadline for submission is May 26, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. East African Time.

PSC emphasised its commitment to fair competition, merit and inclusivity in line with constitutional provisions.

The Commission encouraged applications from women, persons with disabilities, marginalised communities and minority groups.

It also warned applicants against fraud, stating that it does not charge any fees at any stage of the recruitment process and cautioned against submission of falsified documents, noting that this constitutes a criminal offence.

The recruitment drive is expected to bolster capacity across government institutions and enhance service delivery in critical sectors of the economy.
