Amer announces a vacancy for a youth assistant for the 2026-2027 academic year

The Amer City Council has announced a vacancy for an interim civil servant position as an assistant for the Youth Space (Espai Jove) to execute the management program of the youth facility during the 2026-2027 school year, and has created a job bank to cover future needs for this category. The rules and the call for applications were approved by the Local Governing Board in an ordinary session on October 7, 2026, and are published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Girona no. 199, of October 15, 2026 (edict 8883, CVE BOP-2026_0_199_8883, pp. 1-21). The announcement is signed by the mayor-president, M. Rosa Vila Juanhuix, with an electronic signature date of October 14, 2026.

The process is framed within article 94 of Decree 214/1990, of July 20, which approves the Regulations for personnel in the service of local entities, and is processed under file X2026000975. The position belongs to the special administration scale, special services sub-scale, special commissions class, subgroup C2, and the first interim appointment will cover the entire 2026-2027 school year.

A pilot program for the direct management of the Youth Space

The program is justified because during the 2025-2026 school year, the council launched a new municipal Youth Space, the management of which was initially entrusted to an external company. Once the launch of the service was consolidated, the council wishes to analyze the viability of a direct management model with its own staff, complemented by technical support in youth matters from the Selva County Council through the corresponding collaboration agreement.

The stated objectives of the temporary program are:

• To implement the direct management of the Youth Space on a pilot basis.
• To guarantee the ordinary opening and correct functioning of the facility.
• To analyze the demand and use of the service by the users.
• To assess the organizational and human resource needs of the direct management model.
• To obtain sufficient information to determine the most appropriate management model for future years.

The functions of the position include the opening and closing of the facility, the custody and surveillance of the installations, attention to users and the issuance of cards, support in communication on social networks under the supervision of the youth technician, basic maintenance and cleaning, and support for ordinary activities. The syllabus in the annex includes a specific topic on the La Teranyina Youth Space of Amer, its purposes, services, and operating rules.

Dedication, schedule, and remuneration

The position requires a dedication of 22.5 hours per week, equivalent to 60% of the working day, with a schedule from Monday to Friday from 2:30 PM to 7:00 PM. The planned remuneration for the first interim appointment is:

• Basic remuneration: corresponding to subgroup C2.
• Destination supplement: corresponding to level 14.
• Specific supplement: 368.40 euros per month based on a full-time workday.
• Total for full-time: 1,499.55 euros per month.
• Total for 60% workday: 899.73 euros per month.

Requirements, deadlines and selection process

The deadline for submitting applications is ten business days starting from the day after the publication of the call in the BOP of Girona. Applications may be submitted preferably through the municipal electronic registry or in person at the General Registry of the Amer City Council (Plaça de la Vila, 30), from Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 14:00 hours.

The main requirements for applicants are:

• To have Spanish nationality or that of a member state of the European Union under current legal terms.
• To possess the functional capacity to carry out the tasks.
• To have reached sixteen years of age and not exceed the maximum compulsory retirement age.
• Not to have been dismissed through disciplinary proceedings nor be disqualified from holding public office.
• To provide a C1 level certificate in Catalan or an equivalent qualification.
• To possess a school graduate degree, ESO, or first-level vocational training or equivalent.

The selection system is by competitive examination (oposición), with a preliminary phase of knowledge of the Catalan and Spanish languages for those who do not certify them. The examination phase consists of a theoretical-practical multiple-choice test, which is mandatory and eliminatory, with a maximum of 30 points and a minimum of 15 to pass, and a personal interview on professional competencies valued with a maximum of 5 points. Selected persons must complete a two-month internship period.

The job bank will be valid for two years from its establishment and will be governed by the order of the score obtained. The call will be made by telephone and email, with two calls in different time slots and one email; if the applicant cannot be contacted within 48 hours, their right to that call expires. The rejection of the first and second appointment proposals results in moving to the last place in the job bank.

The call is published in the BOP of Girona, on the municipal e-Notice Board, and on the Transparency Portal of the Amer City Council, and the remaining publications of the process will be made on the municipal e-Notice Board. An optional appeal for reversal may be filed against the resolution approving the bases within one month, or a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Tarragona within two months.

This call opens a path to stable public employment in the municipality and, at the same time, marks the transition from outsourced management to direct management of the Espai Jove, a service aimed at the youth population of Amer. For interested persons, the schedule is tight: the ten-working-day deadline begins the day after publication in the BOP of Girona, meaning that the preparation of documentation and merits must be resolved quickly.
