Source-led route overview checked 2026-11-08; a recruitment page is not confirmation of a suitable open vacancy.
- Who should explore it
- The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) requires qualified teachers to register before teaching in public or private institutions and lists entry/work permits among the documents for non-Kenyans. Braeburn’s recruitment examples request a teaching degree and TSC registration or QTS at application; an employer’s acceptance of QTS does not itself replace Kenya’s registration or immigration requirements.
- Pay evidence
- No national salary, housing allowance or savings estimate is asserted. Compare a written after-deduction package against housing close to school, commuting, medical cover, flights and dependent schooling. Confirm who pays for immigration and teacher-registration costs.
- Working pattern
- Confirm classroom hours, preparation, meetings, cover and paid holidays in the written offer; no national working-week estimate is established here.
- Length of placement
- Employer-specific; confirm start date, probation, renewal and notice before accepting.
- Work permission
- The Class D employment permit is tied to specified employment with a named employer. Immigration requires skills or qualifications not available locally and an engagement that benefits Kenya; the employer’s evidence includes local recruitment efforts and a Kenyan understudy. Obtain the employer’s written permit and registration plan before travelling to start work.
- Support and benefits
- Confirm housing, flights, relocation support and medical cover in writing. These are not assumed to be included.

Documents, healthcare and remaining checks
- Professional recognition
- Match the employer’s stated criteria to your exact qualifications. Confirm any local registration or recognition separately; a UK credential does not itself grant immigration permission.
- Documents
- Confirm the authority’s current checklist and the employer’s safeguarding requirements; do not send originals or pay a recruiter until its identity and process are verified.
- Healthcare
- Obtain written evidence of cover, exclusions, emergency arrangements and any separate cover required for dependants.
- Initial costs
- Price document authentication, permit charges, travel, accommodation deposits and an arrival reserve for the actual location.
- First payment
- Not established by this overview. Confirm the first payroll date and which costs you must fund before reimbursement.
