KICD Jobs 2026: Apply for 17 Permanent and Pensionable Vacancies in Kenya

Overview

The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) is recruiting for 17 vacant positions on a permanent and pensionable basis. KICD is responsible for curriculum development and related educational functions in Kenya, supporting the development, review and implementation of curricula and curriculum-related programmes. The recruitment exercise is for September/October 2026.

Who can apply

The vacancies are open to qualified candidates who meet the requirements of the advertised positions. Because the 17 posts may differ in academic, professional and experience requirements, applicants should check their eligibility against the specific position they want. Those applying for professional roles should confirm whether the vacancy needs professional qualifications, registration, previous experience or other credentials.

Persons with disabilities and candidates from marginalized groups are particularly encouraged to apply, though they must still meet the requirements of the vacancy they choose.

How to apply

Applications are made online through the KICD External Employment Application Form for September/October 2026. Candidates should complete all applicable sections accurately, provide the required information, attach supporting documents where requested, and review everything before submitting. Anyone applying for more than one position must submit a separate application for each, rather than combining several positions in one form.

Incomplete or inaccurate information could affect how an application is considered. KICD has said that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted, so contact details should be entered correctly. The notice also warns that canvassing in any form leads to automatic disqualification.

Key dates

Applications must be successfully submitted on or before October 9, 2026. Late applications may not be considered, so applicants are encouraged to submit well before the closing date to leave time for preparing documents and completing the online form.
