Social Welfare announces six discretionary appointments in three provinces

The Department of Social Welfare of the Regional Government of Castilla-La Mancha has opened the provision, via the free appointment procedure (LD BS 1/2026), of six vacant and budget-funded job positions: three of them are service head positions in the central services of Toledo and the other three are in the provinces of Albacete, Ciudad Real, and Toledo. The call is published in the Official Gazette of Castilla-La Mancha no. 216, dated November 11, 2026, in section II (Authorities and Personnel), with the official reference 2026/8014. Career civil servants aspiring to these posts will have fifteen business days to submit their application.

Regulatory framework and issuing body

The call is formalized by a resolution dated November 3, 2026, from the Department of Social Welfare, issued in exercise of the competence attributed by Article 20 of Decree 74/2002, of May 14, on the Provision of Job Positions, and in accordance with Articles 70 and 71 of Law 4/2011, of March 10, on Public Employment of Castilla-La Mancha.

The call is resolved by a resolution of the head of the Department, following a reasoned proposal from the body to which the position is assigned.

The six offered positions, according to the annex of the resolution, are as follows:

• 14204 — Head of the Service for the Management of Residences and Resources, group A1, level 28, specific supplement of 27,525.60 euros per year; Directorate General for the Elderly, Toledo.

Who can participate and under what obligation

Career civil servants serving the Administration of the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha who meet the requirements of the annex may apply. Career civil servants from the General State Administration, other autonomous communities, local corporations with bodies of analogous functions, and the Cortes de Castilla-La Mancha may also apply, in accordance with Article 82 of Law 4/2011. The bodies and scales of Article 2 of Decree 161/1989, of December 28, are excluded, except for positions whose coverage is open to those keys.

The resolution imposes two relevant obligations: those holding a position of free appointment included in the annex under provisional assignment must participate, as must those holding it under a service commission, with the warning that non-compliance entails voluntary leave for private interest or the termination of the commission, respectively.

Deadline, processing, and effects

Applications are submitted electronically with an electronic signature via the Junta’s electronic office, addressed to the General Secretariat of the Ministry of Social Welfare, including a curriculum vitae and documentation accrediting merits. The deadline is fifteen business days from the day following publication, which places the closing around December 2, 2026. The Ministry may call for interviews and request additional documentation before resolving within a maximum period of two months.

The assigned destination is non-waivable and does not generate a right to compensation for transfer or change of residence; termination occurs the day following the publication of the resolution, and the assumption of office, the day following termination. Against the resolution, which exhausts the administrative route, a contentious-administrative appeal may be filed within two months and, optionally, a motion for reconsideration within one month.

The call is of particular interest to career civil servants of the Junta seeking positions of trust in the social area, a field with significant weight in regional spending, and offers six positions ranging from the management of residences and agreements to child protection and the economic control of the Ministry.
