The Castroverde City Council announces a vacancy for a school janitor and other municipal facilities, which will be filled as a career civil servant through an open competitive examination. The Local Government Board approved the rules and the call for applications in the ordinary session of October 21, 2026, and the full announcement was published in the BOP Lugo number 260, dated November 12, 2026, with the official reference R. 3085.

The call responds to the fifth agreement of that collegiate body, adopted by the four councilors who legally compose it, for the definitive filling of a vacant position in the civil servant staff.

The local government justifies the open competitive examination system based on the principles of equality, merit, capacity, and publicity, in accordance with Article 103.1 of the Spanish Constitution, and refers the procedure to the Basic Statute of the Public Employee, Law 2/2015 on public employment in Galicia, Law 7/1985 on the Bases of the Local Regime, and Royal Decree 896/1991.

Two eliminatory tests and job bank

The process consists of two eliminatory tests. The first has a theoretical part of 50 multiple-choice questions with three alternative answers during 60 minutes, with a minimum of 5 points out of 10, and a practical part of another 60 minutes with the same minimum. The second is a Galician language knowledge test of 30 minutes, qualified as fit or unfit, which will consist of the translation of a text between Spanish and Galician.

The qualifying tribunal will be composed of five permanent members and five substitutes and will be of the third category. For those who pass the process without obtaining a position, a job bank will be formulated, ordered by score, valid for three years and extendable, which will be used for substitutions and interim appointments of concierges in the council; the call will be made by telephone, with three attempts between 9:00 and 14:00 hours, and the summoned person will have two hours to accept or reject the proposal.

The publication in the BOP Lugo opens an opportunity for stable public employment in the Terra Chá region for a profile with low academic requirements, although the actual registration period will only begin to count when the announcement appears in the BOE. The agreement of the Local Government Board ends the administrative route and may be challenged through an appeal for reversal within one month or a contentious-administrative appeal within two months.
