The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has indicated it aims to recruit 4,523 tutors.
TSC Chief Executive Officer Nancy Macharia said those to be employed would replace tutors who left the service through natural attrition.
"A total of 3,922 teachers will be posted to primary schools while 601 will go to secondary schools and colleges. Eligible candidates must be registered with TSC and should be 45-years-old and below,'' said Macharia.
Interested applicants that were engaged on contract as relief teachers are required to attach a copy of the contract letter and reporting casualty return.
"Those interested in being hired as primary school teachers should be holders of P1 certificate and would be selected from the County merit lists compiled during the August 2016 recruitment. They must present professional and academic certificates to the interviewing panel,'' she added in a statement.
Successful candidates will be deployed in any part of the Country and not necessarily the County they were recruited.
According to TSC, applicants for vacancies in post-primary institutions must be holders of a minimum of Diploma in Education certificate.
Interested candidates should apply to the secretary, board of management of the school or institution where the vacancy has been advertised and submit a copy to the TSC County director.
Those interested have until December 30, 2016 to submit their applications.
