The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) have announced 387 job vacancies across a wide range of professional and administrative roles, creating new employment opportunities for qualified Kenyans seeking careers in the public sector this March.
The openings span diverse fields including legal practice, education management, finance, auditing, research, information technology (ICT), corporate communications, and office administration. Both institutions have invited qualified candidates to submit their applications online before the respective deadlines later this month.
ODPP Seeks 217 Employees
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions has advertised 217 vacancies aimed at strengthening its operational capacity as it continues to expand prosecution services and support functions across the country.
Among the most significant openings are 140 Prosecution Counsel positions at grade DPP Seven, which form the largest portion of the recruitment drive. These positions target qualified lawyers who will be responsible for handling criminal prosecution, legal representation, and case preparation within Kenya’s justice system.
The ODPP plays a critical role in upholding the rule of law by independently conducting criminal prosecutions on behalf of the state. The recruitment of additional prosecution counsel is expected to improve case handling capacity, reduce backlog in courts, and enhance the efficiency of legal proceedings nationwide.
Beyond legal roles, the ODPP advertisement also includes vacancies in several technical and administrative areas. These include positions for accountants, supply chain management officers, research officers, audit officers, ICT specialists, corporate communications officers, clerical officers, and office assistants.
The agency noted that these roles are essential to supporting the operational and administrative functions that ensure smooth delivery of prosecution services across the country.
Interested applicants are required to submit their applications through the official ODPP online careers portal before March 30 at 5:00 p.m.
Shortlisted candidates will later be required to present original identification documents, academic certificates, professional certifications, and transcripts during the interview stage. This verification process is part of the standard procedures used in public service recruitment to ensure transparency and authenticity of qualifications.
TSC Announces 170 Vacancies
At the same time, the Teachers Service Commission has announced 170 job vacancies aimed at strengthening the management and oversight of teachers across the country.
The commission is recruiting professionals to fill senior leadership, audit, and field management positions within its operational structure. Among the top-level roles advertised are Senior Deputy Director positions in Human Resource Management and Development, as well as Internal Audit Officers.
Additional opportunities exist for Deputy Directors responsible for Human Resource Development and Risk Management, as the commission seeks to strengthen its governance and operational oversight functions.
The largest portion of the TSC recruitment drive, however, targets 132 Assistant Director Teacher Management field officers. These officers will play a key role in supervising, monitoring, and coordinating teacher management activities in schools across various regions of the country.
Their responsibilities will include overseeing teacher deployment, monitoring professional conduct, supporting discipline processes, and ensuring effective implementation of education policies at the field level.
Qualified candidates interested in TSC positions have been directed to submit their applications through the TSC online recruitment portal before March 23 at 11:59 p.m.
Warning Against Fraudulent Recruitment
Both the TSC and ODPP have emphasized that their recruitment processes are entirely free of charge, warning job seekers against individuals who may attempt to solicit money in exchange for employment opportunities.
“TSC does not charge any application, processing, interviewing, or any other fee at any stage of the recruitment process,” the commission emphasized in its official notice.
The commission further clarified that all applications must be submitted through the official online portal, noting that no physical submissions will be accepted.
Additionally, both institutions warned that submission of fake documents or misleading information will lead to automatic disqualification and may result in prosecution under the Public Officers Ethics Act, 2003, which governs recruitment in the public service.
With hundreds of positions now open across legal, administrative, and education management fields, the recruitment drive presents a significant opportunity for qualified Kenyans seeking to join the country’s public sector workforce.
