The Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development (KICD) has announced 17 permanent and pensionable job openings for Kenyan professionals across various disciplines. The vacancies, posted on MyGov on September 22, 2026, span senior management, technical, and administrative roles. Interested applicants must submit their applications through a virtual link before October 9, 2026. The institution is seeking qualified professionals to fill roles at various grade levels within its organisational structure.
The advertised positions include senior leadership, technical, and support functions. At Grade 2, KICD is seeking one senior deputy director for corporate services and one senior deputy director for research, quality assurance, and consultancy. One deputy director for human resource management and development has been advertised at Grade 3. These high-level positions reflect the institution's need for experienced professionals to drive its operations.
KICD has also advertised four Grade 4 positions, covering printing and publishing, quality assurance, supply chain management, and technical services. Five Grade 5 principal-level posts are available, covering security, human resource management and development, TV production, planning, and office administration. These mid-level positions require professionals with relevant experience and skills to support the institution's core functions.
In addition to the senior and mid-level positions, KICD is recruiting for several junior roles. A curriculum development officer for marine and fisheries technology, a curriculum development officer for media technology, and an office administrator are being sought at Grade 8. Two Grade 9 roles, an Assistant Studio Technical Operator III and an Assistant Printing and Publishing Technician III, are also available.
To apply for the KICD vacancies, interested candidates must submit their applications through the institution's designated virtual application link. Each submission must include a cover letter, an updated curriculum vitae, academic and professional certificates, relevant testimonials, National Identification Card details, a current mobile phone number, and the names, telephone numbers, and addresses of two referees.
The KICD recruitment drive comes alongside a broader push by the Public Service Commission (PSC) to fill gaps in Kenya's public sector workforce. The PSC has advertised 851 jobs across government ministries, state departments, and universities. This reflects the government's continued efforts to address workforce shortages and provide employment opportunities for Kenyan professionals.
KICD has warned that canvassing in any form would result in automatic disqualification and confirmed that only shortlisted candidates would be contacted. Persons living with disabilities and candidates from marginalised communities are specifically encouraged to apply. The deadline for applications is October 9, 2026, and interested candidates are advised to submit their applications through the designated virtual link.
