The deadline is 10 business days starting from the day after the publication of the call in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya (DOGC).

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 previously accredited them. The examination phase, which is mandatory and eliminatory, consists of a practical test valued at a maximum of 75 points, with a minimum of 37.5 points required to pass.

The competition phase is valued at a maximum of 25 points, distributed as follows:

• Personal interview (maximum 5 points), to assess the suitability of the professional profile.
• Work experience (maximum 15 points), with 0.20 points per year in local entities and 0.10 points per year in other administrations.
• Training (maximum 5 points) related to the functions of the position.

Management and validity of the job bank

Once the pool is established, candidates will be called by telephone and email, with two calls made at different time slots. If the applicant cannot be contacted within a maximum period of 48 hours, their right to that call will expire and the next person on the list will be contacted. Rejecting the first and second appointment proposals will result in being moved to the last place in the pool.

The pool will have a validity of two years from its establishment. Grounds for exclusion include, among others, failing the probationary period, being sanctioned for a serious or very serious offense, rejecting three job offers, or the falsity of the alleged requirements or merits. The list of admitted and excluded persons will be published on the entity’s Electronic Office, indicating the day, time, and place of the tests.

This call represents an opportunity for those interested in entering the local public service in the Baix Ebre region, in a small municipality where the job pool is the usual mechanism for covering temporary administrative staff needs.
