The Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya has announced a major recruitment drive, unveiling 95 job opportunities across four key positions as part of its effort to strengthen Kenya’s anti-doping programme.

The application window closes on November 18, 2025, according to a notice by the agency.

ADAK's core mandate is to “protect athletes’ fundamental rights to participate in doping-free sport and thus promoting good health, fairness and equality for athletes in Kenya.”

The positions, which will be filled on an on-need basis, include Doping Control Officers, Anti-Doping Educators, Blood Collection Officers and Chaperones.

All appointments will be remunerated in line with ADAK’s approved finance policy and paid upon completion of assignment.

Under Vacancy No. ADAK/1/10/2025, the agency is seeking to recruit 35 Doping Control Officers.

These officers will be tasked with supporting ADAK’s core operations in ensuring compliance with anti-doping procedures during sporting events and related activities.

Vacancy No. ADAK/2/10/2025 invites applications for 20 Anti-Doping Educator positions.

The successful candidates will help promote awareness and understanding of anti-doping regulations among athletes and sports personnel, contributing to the broader education and prevention efforts led by the agency.

For Vacancy No. ADAK/3/10/2025, the agency is looking to hire 10 Blood Collection Officers who will play a vital role in the scientific aspect of doping control.

Like other positions, this role will be engagement-based, with payment processed after task completion in accordance with ADAK’s Finance Policy.

The final category, Vacancy No. ADAK/4/10/2025, seeks 30 Chaperones who will assist in athlete notification and sample collection procedures, ensuring that all processes adhere to international anti-doping standards.

ADAK has directed all interested candidates to visit its official website, www.adak.or.ke under the Opportunities tab, for detailed duties and qualification requirements.

This includes obtaining up-to-date clearance certificates from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA), Higher Education Loans Board (HELB), Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), Directorate of Criminal Investigation (Good Conduct) and Credit Reference Bureau (CRB).

The agency emphasised its commitment to fair hiring, noting that it is an equal opportunity employer 

"Women, persons living disability, minority groups and those from marginalised areas are encouraged to apply," the agency said.

ADAK added that only shortlisted candidates will be contacted following the close of the application period on November 18, 2025.

The recruitment is expected to bolster Kenya's capacity to maintain integrity and transparency in sports by reinforcing its anti-doping efforts to align with international best practices as outlined by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
