TSC JSS Recruitment guidelines at County level

Teachers Currently Serving as Teacher Interns 

The Commission has resolved to directly recruit all the teachers serving as interns on permanent and pensionable (P&P) terms of.service. These teacher interns are, thereforenotrequired to apply. 

 The total number of employment forms for P&P will be inclusive of the serving teacher interns who shall be recruited directly. 

 For those serving in secondary schools, upon employment, they will be deployed to teach in Junior Secondary Schools within the counties where they are currently serving. 

 In the case of teacher interns serving in primary schools, upon employment, they may be retained in their current station or be deployed to any primary school where their services are required within the counties or regions where they are currently serving. 

 County Directors are required to prepare a list of all serving interns within their counties who are currently on payroll and have not been absorbed on P&P. These teachers should fill out the Application for Employment forms and be issued with Offer of Employment Letters before the main recruitment commences.

File Copy of the Offer of Employment Letter and Application for Employment Forms together with all the relevant attachments shall be submitted to the TSC Headquarters as per the recruitment roadmap. 

 

Verification of Documents 

Due to changes in the score guides, the applicants’ lists shall have no scores. TSC Sub-County Selection Panel shall keenly verify the applicants’ documents and award marks as per the reviewed score guides.

From the exercise, the TSC Sub-County Director shall generate merit lists and recommend successful candidates to the TSC County Director for the issuance of Offer of Employment/Internship letters.

The successful candidates shall be in the four (4) categories of recruitment as follows: 9000/DEC/2022 (P&P, JSS); 21550/DEC/2022 (Internship, JSS); 1 000/DEC/2022 (P&P, Primary) and 4000/DEC/2022 (Internship, Primary).

Categories for recruitment MUST be clearly indicated on all the lists. 

 

Posting of teachers to Junior Secondary Schools 

Posting of the newly recruited teachers to Junior Secondary Schools will be guided by the Learning Areas that a teacher is required to teach as per the guide published on the TSC Website.

TSC County Director MUST ensure that in case a school has more than one stream, teachers posted are of different specialties i.e. Humanities, Sciences, Languages, Mathematics, or Technical to ensure their optimal utilization. 

Offer of Employment and Offer of Internship Letters 

Processing of Offer of Employment and Offer of Internship Letters shall be done at the county level. The TSC County Director shall sign the Offer Letters and submit file copies together with other recruitment documents.

The Offer Letters for serving teacher interns being converted to permanent and pensionable terms of service shall have no folio (e.g. TSC/111111) while those who have never been engaged by the Commission shall bear Folio 2 {e.g. TSC/111111 /2). Two copies of the Offer Letter shall be signed. 

One copy shall be forwarded by the TSC Sub-County Director (where the teacher will be posted) to the teacher. The second copy shall be submitted together with other recruitment documents for filing at the Headquarters.

The TSC County Director and the TSC Sub-County Director shall be required to photocopy the letters for their files. A template for the appointment letter and Offer of Internship Letter will be provided.

Ensure that each candidate fills only one Application for Employment form or receives only one Offer of Internship letter. 

The Offer of Employment Letters shall be done on special papers. County Directors have already been issued with special papers for the exercise. Care must be taken to avoid wastage due to limited resources.

Templates for the Offer of Employment letters, Offer of Internship letters and Internship Agreement shall be shared later. 

Submission of Recruitment Documents 

Recruitment documents shall be submitted as per the attached submission schedule (Appendix XIV). TSC County Directors should ensure that they strictly adhere to the schedule to avoid crowding at the receiving desks.

In addition, they are expected to ensure that all required documents are attached to the Application for Employment Forms including the Offer of Employment Letter, Internship Agreement, Offer of Internship Letter, and Lists of Recruited/Successful applicants per category (Appendices XV – Pry P&P, XVI Pry Internship., XVII – Sec P&P XVIII.– Sec Internship).

TSC County Directors shall be held personally responsible for any missing but required document that may lead to delays in the onboarding of teachers.

It is important to arrive at the Headquarters at the earliest possible time to ensure that all the recruitment documents are received as per the schedule. Officers at the Headquarters will be similarly advised on the same.
