County health jobs are advertised by individual county governments and their public service boards, so there is no single recruitment portal for every county. Check the county where you want to work, read that advert in full and follow its stated application method.
Never pay anyone for a county health job or for help getting shortlisted.
There can be live county-specific opportunities. For example, Kitui County's October 2026 permanent advert includes health posts and says applications close on 16 November 2026. This date applies to that Kitui advert only.
Start with the official county government website and its County Public Service Board page or jobs portal. Do this separately for each county you are willing to serve in. County portals can show whether a vacancy is open, closed or has moved to shortlisting.
Examples show that health recruitment covers different cadres. Kitui's current advert lists Nursing Officer, Registered Nurse III, Enrolled Nurse III, Medical Laboratory Technologist III and Biomedical Engineering Technician III posts. Nyamira's portal shows closed 2026 Health Services posts including Radiographer III, Assistant Occupational Therapist III and medical engineering roles. Do not treat a closed advert as an open vacancy.
| What to check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Advert status and closing date | Apply only while the official advert is open. |
| County, department and cadre | Requirements are tied to the specific post. |
| Terms of service | County adverts may state permanent and pensionable or another term. |
| Application channel | Some boards use an online portal, while the advert may set another method. |
| Shortlist notices | Boards may publish a separate shortlist after applications close. |
Follow the application instructions in the exact advert, not instructions copied from a different county. In Kitui's October 2026 permanent recruitment, applicants are told to apply online through the county website and complete one KCPSB 2 Employment form.
Do not assume one county's form, portal, qualifications or deadline applies in another county. The official advert for the job controls.
On 15 November 2026, the official Kitui County jobs page lists 81 permanent vacancies with a deadline of 16 November 2026. Within the Ministry of Health and Sanitation, it lists 1 Chief Health Administrative Officer, 3 Nursing Officer, 40 Registered Nurse III, 10 Enrolled Nurse III, 16 Medical Laboratory Technologist III and 2 Biomedical Engineering Technician III posts.
The page says to submit the KCPSB 2 form and the stated supporting copies through the Kitui County Public Service Board jobs portal by 16 November 2026. It also says hand-delivered or email applications are not accepted for the temporary recruitment shown on that page. Read the permanent-vacancy instructions for the health posts rather than relying on the temporary section.
This is a time-sensitive example, not a promise that other counties have vacancies. If you are reading after 16 November 2026, check Kitui's jobs page for a newer advert before applying.
Use the official county website or a newspaper named by the county board. Kisumu County Public Service Board says genuine vacancies are published or announced on the county website and/or selected newspapers of wide national circulation, and says it does not authorise people, consultants, agencies or organisations making approaches through website postings, email or mobile communication.
Do not send money to a broker, agent or person claiming they can influence recruitment. Nyamira County Public Service Board says it does not charge a fee at any stage of recruitment. Kitui warns applicants about people soliciting money to influence recruitment and says canvassing leads to disqualification.
Check the relevant county government and its County Public Service Board. Official county examples from Kitui, Nyamira and Kisumu publish job information through county or board pages. Use the board and county named in the advert.
No. The checked county examples use their own county pages and portals. Kitui directs applicants to its county website and Nyamira describes its own candidate-profile process. Check each county's official advert for the required channel.
Prepare the documents requested by the specific advert. Kitui's 2026 permanent advert asks for a completed KCPSB 2 form, National Identity Card, professional certificates, academic certificates and transcripts. If you are shortlisted, it says you must present originals.
Yes. Do not pay anyone. Nyamira states that its board does not charge any fee at any stage of recruitment, and Kitui warns against people soliciting money to influence recruitment.
Do not apply to it as though it were open. Nyamira's portal labels its listed Health Services vacancies as closed and gives their 5 October 2026 deadline. Look for a newer official advert or shortlist notice.
