Castuera rectifies the bases for four public employment positions

The Castuera City Council has rectified errors detected in the selection criteria for four positions in its 2026 public employment offer. This is done through a Mayoral decree dated October 22, 2026, published in full in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz No. 205, of October 26, 2026, under announcement number 4227/2026. The correction affects applicants in the processes already announced, who must adjust their merit scale to the new wording.

Four affected calls

The decree stems from the detection of “several errors in the selection criteria themselves and in the naming of one of the announcements.” The processes concerned are four, all corresponding to the City Council’s 2026 public employment offer:

• One position for Administrative Assistant, group C1, General Administration scale, Administrative sub-scale, assigned to the General Secretariat (BOP of October 19, 2026, announcement 4087/2026).
• Two positions for Administrative Auxiliary, group C2, assigned to the General Secretariat and Treasury (BOP of October 19, 2026, announcement 4089/2026).
• One position for General Manager of Works and Operational Services, group C1, destination supplement 19 and special working day (BOP of October 15, 2026, announcement 4035/2026).
• One position for Cleaning-Laundry Operator, equivalent to group AP, based at the Castuera nursing home (BOP of October 15, 2026, announcement 3995/2026).

The criteria for these processes had been approved by decrees on October 7, 2026, with a subsequent decree on October 8, 2026, which had already rectified an error regarding the General Manager position.

Training scale reduced tenfold

The first point of the agreement corrects the seventh base, section c, of the competition phase in the four announcements. Where the criteria previously set 0.1 point per hour of training, the new wording establishes 0.01 point per hour, maintaining the maximum of one point.

The change affects courses taught by public or official bodies or approved entities, with content related to the functions of the position, and only those exceeding 20 hours are valued. With the previous wording, a single 20-hour course exhausted the maximum of one point; with the corrected version, that maximum requires 100 accredited hours.

Adjustments to the second exercise and the status of one position

The second section amends the seventh base, section b, of the opposition phase for the Administrative Assistant and Administrative Auxiliary positions. The practical test, with a maximum of 10 points, will consist of the resolution of one or two practical cases; the correction separates into its own sentence the assessment of “clarity, conciseness, writing, and presentation of the matter” and coherence, which previously appeared linked to the content of the test.

The third point rectifies the designation of announcement 4035/2026: the position of General Manager of Works and Operational Services changes from being called “as permanent contractual staff” to “as a career civil servant,” in coherence with the rest of the first clause, which already defined it as a career civil servant position in group C1.

Legal basis and appeals

The decree is based on article 105.2 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, on the Common Administrative Procedure, and article 21.1.g of Law 7/1985, of April 2, regulating the Bases of Local Regime, which grants the Mayor’s Office the authority to approve the personnel recruitment bases. The agreement concludes the administrative route and is signed by the First Deputy acting as Mayor, Piedad Roso Núñez.

An optional appeal for reversal (recurso potestativo de reposición) may be filed before the Mayor within one month from the day following publication, or a direct challenge may be filed before the competent Contentious-Administrative Court within two months. If the appeal for reversal is chosen, the judicial route cannot be pursued until it is expressly resolved or a presumed dismissal occurs.

Why it matters

The rectification arrives with the processes already underway and the application period open: the bases establish ten business days from the publication of the call announcement in the BOE, and the competition phase is valued at a maximum of four points. Applicants who had training courses to add up to one point must recalculate their score, and those applying for the General Manager position are now competing for a career civil servant position rather than a permanent contractual staff position.
