Requirements and examination fees

The required qualification is a Degree or Diploma in Social Education, or to be a University Diploma/Degree holder provided that the qualification to practice as a Social Educator is held, issued by an Official College of Educators of national scope. Exceptionally, personnel with temporary contracts who have provided at least three years of service in the category within the scope of the Cabildo may apply with a qualification as a Social Worker, Teacher, Primary School Teacher (EGB) or equivalent.

Phases of the selection process

The competitive examination phase consists of three eliminatory exercises, two theoretical and one practical, scored from 0 to 10 points. The first exercise is a 60-question multiple-choice test to be completed in 80 minutes; the second, the written development of eight headings chosen from twelve topics in two and a half hours; and the third, two practical cases to be chosen from four in three hours. The theoretical part accounts for 40% and the practical part for 60% of the final examination grade.

The merit phase, which is non-eliminatory, evaluates professional experience (50%), official qualifications (20%), training courses received and taught (20%), and other merits (10%). Applicants who pass this phase must provide documentary evidence of the merits held as of the closing date for the submission of applications.

Job Functions

The Educator will carry out their work in the Cabildo’s child care centers, with functions including tutoring, programming educational and leisure activities, maintaining relationships with families, coordinating with multidisciplinary teams and social services, and supervising and accompanying minors in their daily lives. Hiring will require a negative certificate from the Central Registry of Sexual Offenders, in accordance with Law 26/2015, as this is a position with regular contact with minors.

The call for applications, which affects hundreds of applicants on the island, represents a significant opportunity to consolidate public employment in the field of social and educational intervention in Gran Canaria, in a sector with high demand for qualified professionals for child and adolescent care.
