How to Apply
Interested applicants can fill out a form on the Ministry’s website, Socialprotection.go.ke/jobs, detailing their qualifications, which should include both academic and professional achievements.
Only shortlisted candidates would be contacted by the end of the exercise, according to the Ministry.
By June 21, 2022, all applications must be submitted through the portal; no hard copies will be accepted during the recruitment process.
“Canvassing in any form will lead to automatic disqualification. Successful candidates will be deployed outside Nairobi county in sub-counties and counties where vacancies exist,” the PSC statement read in part.
Successful candidates will be expected to perform duties and responsibilities that include operating a motor vehicle as required and doing routine checks on the vehicle’s cooling, oil, electrical, and brake systems, as well as tyre pressure.
They’ll also help with identifying and reporting malfunctioning vehicle systems, maintaining work tickets for assigned vehicles, guaranteeing vehicle security and safety on and off the road, assuring the safety of passengers and/or goods, and keeping the vehicle clean.
