TSC announces 2,014 vacancies to fill gaps left through natural attrition

The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) is seeking to fill 2,014 vacancies left by teachers who exited service through natural attrition across public primary, junior, and secondary schools.

In a statement issued on its website, the Commission disclosed that the vacancies include 1,309 positions for primary schools, 32 for junior schools, and 673 for secondary schools.

TSC said the new hires will be employed on permanent and pensionable terms, with preference given to applicants who have not previously worked for the Commission.

The commission noted that manual applications will not be accepted and urged interested candidates are required to submit their applications online through the TSC website by Monday, 19th May 2025.

“Interested and qualified candidates should submit their applications online through the Teachers Service Commission’s website, www.tsc.go.ke under ‘Careers’ or teachersonline.tsc.go.ke not later than Monday, 19th May 2025 Midnight,” stated TSC.

“Shortlisted candidates will be required to present original academic and professional certificates. Successful candidates must not fill more than one Application for Employment Form. Filling of two or more Application for Employment Forms will lead to disqualification.”

Additionally, the applicants must be Kenyan citizens, registered with the TSC, and possess a P1 certificate for primary level or a diploma in education for junior and secondary levels.

TSC further issued a caution against fraudsters, warning applicants not to pay for the recruitment process.

“The recruitment exercise is free of charge. The Teachers Service Commission forewarns applicants against fraudsters who might extort money from unsuspecting persons purporting to assist in recruitment,” the commission stated.

The Commission noted that the 2024/2025 recruitment guidelines will govern the hiring process, and persons with disabilities are encouraged to apply in line with the equal opportunity provisions of the Constitution.
