The call is published in the BOPT, the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya, the electronic office, and the entity’s Transparency Portal.

For more information, the entity can be contacted by telephone at 977 47 32 02 or by email at ajuntament@aldover.cat.

Phases of the selection process

The selection system is a competitive examination (concurs-oposició), with a preliminary phase of knowledge of the Catalan and Spanish languages for those who have not accredited them. The examination phase, valued at a maximum of 75 points, consists of a mandatory and eliminatory practical test on the functions of the position, with a minimum of 37.5 points to pass. The merit phase (concurs), with a maximum of 25 points, evaluates merits according to the following scale:

• Personal interview: maximum 5 points.
• Work experience: maximum 15 points (0.20 points per year in local entities and 0.10 points per year in other administrations).
• Training related to the position: maximum 5 points, with scores ranging from 0.05 to 0.45 points depending on the hours, plus 1 point per higher degree.

The final score is the sum of the two phases, and the order of the list determines the priority in calling the candidates. The pool will have a validity of two years from its constitution, and the selected persons must complete a internship period.

Management and causes for exclusion

The calling of candidates will be done by telephone and email, with two calls in different time slots and one email. If the applicant cannot be contacted within a maximum period of 48 hours, their right to that call expires and the next person on the list is contacted. Causes for exclusion from the pool include, among others, failing the probationary period, being sanctioned for a serious or very serious offense, rejecting three job offers, the impossibility of location in three proposals, or falsehood in the requirements or merits alleged.

The call opens an opportunity for access to the local public service for those seeking work in the Baix Ebre region, in a small municipality where the pool becomes the ordinary way to cover temporary administrative staff needs. The process, governed by the principles of equality, merit, and capacity, allows applicants to be ranked by score and called in order of priority during the two years of the pool’s validity.
