Baringo County Government jobs: how to apply

Updated 2026-11-16

The Baringo County Public Service Board recruits for vacant county public-service posts and publishes job information through the County Government of Baringo careers site and vacancy notices. As at 16 November 2026, the official vacancies page says there are currently no vacancies. Do not treat deadlines in older adverts as open.

Baringo County Public Service Board says it does not use agents or charge a fee at any stage of recruitment or selection. Never pay anyone for a job.

Where Baringo County Public Service Board advertises jobs

Start with the official Baringo careers vacancies page. The Board's careers portal also has a how to apply page and explains that the Board's role includes establishing county public-service offices and appointing people to county offices.

Read each live advert in full before applying. A September 2025 official vacancy notice, for example, named the posts, job groups, terms of service, number of vacancies, application method, closing time and documents required. That notice closed on 19 September 2025 at 5:00 p.m., so it is an example of the advert format, not a current opportunity.

Check the careers site again when you are ready to apply. The official page is the source for the specific post requirements, advert reference, closing date and application instructions for any future vacancy.

How to apply for Baringo County jobs

The Board states that online application is the primary method. Apply only for a position for which you meet the advert's requirements, and use only one application method.

StepWhat to do
1. Find the live advertOpen the official vacancy listing and read the job description, requirements, advert reference and closing date.
2. Prepare your applicationThe Board's application guidance asks for a detailed CV, academic and professional certificates, testimonials, and a national ID or passport.
3. Apply onlineUse the official online application route given with the live advert. Submit before its stated deadline.
4. Use hard copy only if you cannot apply onlineThe Board says applicants who experience difficulty applying online may deliver a hard copy by hand, registered post or courier before the deadline.
5. Label a hard-copy envelopeAddress it to the Secretary/CEO of the Baringo County Public Service Board and put the position title and advert reference number on the top right-hand side, as directed on the Board's application page.

For the hard-copy route, the official application page gives the Board address as: Chief Executive Officer, Baringo County Public Service Board, P.O. Box 585-30400, Kabarnet. Follow the live advert if it gives a different addressee, office location or envelope instruction.

The Board says it processes complete applications only. A 2025 vacancy notice also asked applicants to state their county, sub-county, ward, location and sub-location of residence in the application letter. Check whether a future advert repeats that instruction.

Shortlisting, official contact and recruitment safety

The Board says it will contact only shortlisted candidates. Its application page identifies SMS through 0731 030 030 as the number used to contact shortlisted candidates. The page also lists secretary.bcpsb@baringo.go.ke as an official communication channel.

  • Do not canvass. The Board says canvassing in any form leads to automatic disqualification.
  • Do not send money to an agent, recruiter or phone number claiming to secure a county job.
  • Keep a copy of your application and the advert reference.
  • If you receive a message about a job, compare it with the contact details and instructions on the official careers portal.

For successful candidates, the Board's September 2025 notice said Chapter Six clearance certificates would be required from the Kenya Revenue Authority, Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission, Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Higher Education Loans Board and a Credit Reference Bureau. A future advert may set its own requirements, so wait for the relevant official instruction and do not assume this list applies to every post.
