Four of the 17 positions are marked as re-advertisements: Assistant Director, Technical Services; Curriculum Development Officer II, Marine and Fisheries Technology; Curriculum Development Officer, Media Technology; and Office Administrator II.
A re-advertisement typically means the post went unfilled or was reopened in a previous round — worth noting if you applied before, as you may need to reapply.
One vacancy stands out for readers following Kenya’s ongoing Competency-Based Education rollout: Curriculum Development Officer II, Marine and Fisheries Technology.
This is one of the subject areas the Teachers Service Commission has repeatedly flagged as facing the most acute teacher shortage nationally, so KICD building out its own curriculum-development capacity in this area is a directly related development for anyone tracking that shortage.

How to Apply
- Address applications to: The Director/Chief Executive Officer, Kenya Institute of Curriculum Development, P.O. Box 30231–00100, Nairobi
- Submit through the designated virtual application link: https://forms.gle/5QxAAdoo2wShcSSs7
- Deadline: On or before 9th October 2026
What Your Application Must Include
According to the notice, every application must contain:
- An application letter
- An up-to-date Curriculum Vitae
- Academic and professional certificates
- Relevant testimonials
- National Identification Card details
- Current mobile telephone number(s)
- The names, telephone numbers and addresses of two referees
The notice specifically warns applicants to confirm that all required information and supporting documents are provided, and that the application is successfully submitted through the virtual link before the deadline — a late or incomplete online submission risks being locked out entirely, unlike a postal application where a postmark might offer some leeway.
What the Notice Doesn’t Cover
This advert lists the position titles, grades and number of posts, but it does not publish the specific duties, academic qualifications or years of experience required for each role.
KICD’s past recruitment rounds have typically published that level of detail — duties and responsibilities, required degrees, professional memberships, leadership/management course requirements, and minimum years of experience — separately on its careers portal.
If you’re serious about one of these roles, check kicd.ac.ke/media-centre/careers for the detailed requirements before you apply, since senior roles like the Grade 2 Senior Deputy Director positions typically carry substantial experience and course requirements that aren’t visible from the grade alone.

Other Conditions to Know
- Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. No response doesn’t necessarily mean your application wasn’t received.
- Canvassing in any form leads to automatic disqualification — don’t attempt to lobby KICD staff or management.
- Persons with disabilities and candidates from marginalised groups are specifically encouraged to apply.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I apply by post or email instead of the Google Form?
The notice specifies the virtual application link as the designated submission channel, so use that unless KICD states otherwise on its official portal.
What does “Re-Advertisement” mean for these four posts?
It means the position was advertised before and is being reopened — likely because it wasn’t filled, or the process needs to be redone. If you applied previously, you’ll likely need to submit a fresh application through this round’s link.
Where can I find the detailed job description for a specific role?
Check KICD’s official careers page at kicd.ac.ke/media-centre/careers, since this notice only publishes the summary table.
Is there a fee to apply?
The notice doesn’t mention one; treat any request for payment tied to this advert as suspicious and verify directly with KICD.
