What the Notice Does — and Doesn’t — Tell You
Maseno’s declaration of vacancies is a summary index, not a full job listing. It names the departments hiring but does not publish individual job titles, reference numbers, qualifications, experience requirements or salary scales in this notice. For those details, the university directs applicants to its own website.
This is standard practice for Maseno’s recruitment notices — the summary goes out first, with the full position-by-position breakdown published separately on the university site.

Other Conditions Worth Noting
- No recruitment fee. Maseno does not charge for any part of the recruitment and selection process — treat any request for payment as a scam.
- Canvassing leads to automatic disqualification. Do not attempt to lobby university staff or management on your application.
- Equal opportunity employer. The university explicitly encourages applicants of all genders, marginalised groups, and persons living with disability to apply.
- Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. If you don’t hear back, assume you were not shortlisted for that round.

- Administrative and support professionals in HR, finance, internal audit, security, ICT services, research administration, quality assurance and the registrar’s office
- Hospitality professionals, given the Kisumu Hotel vacancy — Maseno University owns and operates Kisumu Hotel as part of its income-generating units
- Creative and design professionals, for the Department of Art and Design
- E-learning and academic technology specialists, for the Directorate of E-Campus
