Narok CPSB 2025 Employment Application Form: Tips for Success
Applying for government jobs, especially in the health sector, involves more than just submitting credentials. The application form itself is a crucial part of the evaluation process. The Narok County Public Service Board (CPSB) recently announced vacancies across several healthcare cadres, from nurses and clinical officers to technologists and specialists. Here’s how to strategically and accurately complete the revised 2025 application form for the best chances of selection.
1. Understand the Target Role and Eligibility Requirements
Before you begin filling out the form, thoroughly read the job advertisement to identify:
- The Job Grade: For example, Enrolled Nurse III is CPSB 12, while Medical Specialist I is CPSB 04.
- Qualifications: Confirm that you meet the educational and professional requirements, such as a diploma, degree, or higher diploma in the relevant field.
- Licensing Requirements: Ensure your practicing license from the appropriate council is valid—be it the Nursing Council, Clinical Officers Council, or Pharmacy and Poisons Board.
- Extra Certifications: Where specified, courses in supervisory skills or computer applications are advantageous.
Tailor your responses on the form to reflect compliance with these listed requirements.
2. Fill in the Vacancy Section Thoughtfully
In Section 1 of the form:
- Clearly state the full title of the post as indicated in the job ad (e.g., “Medical Laboratory Technologist III”).
- Enter the correct Vacancy Number exactly as listed.
- Specify the Department (e.g., Health and Sanitation).
Precision in this section ensures your application is sorted correctly.
3. Provide Accurate and Updated Personal Details
Section 2 requires extensive personal information:
- Use block capital letters as instructed.
- Provide your full legal name, ID number, and date of birth in the required format (dd-mm-yyyy).
- Do not omit details like PIN number, nationality, ethnicity, ward, or village—these are often used to assess affirmative action eligibility.
- Be sure your contact information is valid. Your phone and email must be active and frequently checked.
- If you live with a disability, indicate so and include your disability registration number with the National Council for Persons with Disabilities.
4. Employment History—Present It Logically
In Sections 3 and 10 (for current and past employment):
- If you are already in public service, include the current job group, designation, and date of appointment.
- If in the private sector, provide your employer’s name, job title, and monthly gross salary.
- Begin with the most recent job and work backwards.
- Don’t forget secondments or upgrades; these speak to your growth and adaptability.
Make sure the dates are consistent and accurate. Conflicting timelines raise red flags during shortlisting.
5. Disclose Legal or Disciplinary Issues Transparently
Section 5 asks about past criminal convictions or dismissals from employment:
- Be honest. A ‘Yes’ response is not an automatic disqualification.
- Provide concise details about the nature of the issue and its resolution.
Recruiters appreciate transparency and evaluate such information on a case-by-case basis.
6. Academic and Professional Qualifications—Match with Job Requirements
Sections 6 and 7 focus on academic and technical credentials:
- List your qualifications in reverse chronological order, starting from the highest (e.g., Bachelor’s, Diploma, Certificate).
- Align the course/specialization fields with what the job requires. For instance:
- A Diploma in Community Health Nursing is mandatory for Registered Nurse III.
- A Higher Diploma in Anaesthesia is required for Clinical Officer Specialists.
- Include your class/grade, institution, and years attended.
Providing proof of your credentials through accompanying scanned certificates is critical.
7. Include Short Courses and Continuous Training
In Section 8:
- List relevant courses lasting one week or more, including:
- Infection control
- Emergency response
- Leadership or IT training
- Highlight the duration and the training institution.
Short courses show a commitment to continuous professional development.
8. Professional Body Memberships—Demonstrate Compliance
In Section 9:
- List your registration with professional bodies like:
- Nursing Council of Kenya (NCK)
- Clinical Officers’ Council
- Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council
- Public Health Officers and Technicians Council
- State your registration number, membership type (e.g., Full, Associate), and renewal dates.
Active memberships and up-to-date licenses are mandatory and frequently used for vetting.
9. Define Your Duties and Competencies
Section 11 and 12 are narrative:
- In Section 11, list your current responsibilities, especially those aligned with the job you’re applying for (e.g., managing patient records, performing diagnostics, conducting public health campaigns).
- In Section 12, describe:
- Relevant skills (e.g., laboratory diagnostics, emergency care)
- Notable achievements (e.g., spearheading immunization drives)
- Motivation for applying (tie it to Narok County’s health goals and service to the community)
Be concise but compelling—these sections humanize your application beyond technical qualifications.
10. Choose Your Referees Wisely
Section 13 requires two referees:
- Choose professionals who have supervised or worked closely with you.
- Avoid relatives or personal friends.
- Provide full details: names, occupations, mobile numbers, emails, and the length of acquaintance.
Your referees may be contacted, so notify them in advance.
11. Final Declaration—Sign and Date Properly
Do not skip the declaration section on page 4. Sign it, and include the current date using the proper format (dd-mm-yyyy). Unsigned forms may be considered incomplete.
