The hiring of temporary labor personnel will be carried out under the Basic Statute of the Public Employee and applicable labor legislation, in order to meet personnel recruitment needs generated within the consortium.

Applications shall be addressed to the president of the consortium and submitted in person at San Torcuato Street, No. 43, Zamora, or through the channels provided for in article 16.4 of Law 39/2015, of October 1. They must be accompanied by a photocopy of the DNI or equivalent document, copies of the required degrees, documentation accrediting merits, and proof of experience. The submission period is twenty business days from the day following the insertion of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province.

A two-phase process: competitive examination and merit assessment

The selection procedure consists of a competitive examination phase, with a maximum of 6.00 points, and a merit assessment phase, with a maximum of 4.00 points, representing 40% of the total score. The competitive examination includes four mandatory and eliminatory exercises, with a minimum of 5 points required for each:

Reading comprehension and use of English through seven texts: 90 minutes.
Listening comprehension through four audio files: 40 minutes.
Written expression through two essays: 90 minutes.
Oral interview in English: 15 minutes.

The required level corresponds to C2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, with tests based on the C2 Proficiency exam from Cambridge Assessment English. In the competition phase, academic training and certifications are valued up to 2.00 points, and professional experience up to 2.00 points. Merits include the C2 English certificate (1.00 point), the C1 (0.50 points, not cumulative with the former), TEFL, TESOL, CELTA, or DELTA methodological degrees (0.50 points per degree), and accredited teaching in English (0.20 points per full year).

Grading Board and Validity of the Talent Pool

The grading board will be chaired by the director of the language consortium, with a secretary from the public administration staff and three members from the consortium’s permanent staff, all with a qualification equal to or higher than the one required. It may include expert advisors in the language subject of the call.

The talent pool will have an initial validity of two years from the publication of the final constitution resolution, extendable for one additional year without exceeding three years in total. The consortium may render it void or call for a new process before its expiration for reasons of public interest or organizational or teaching needs.

Call-ups, Withdrawals, and Appeals

Call-ups will be made by email with read confirmation or by telephone, following the order of precedence of the pool. The candidate will have three business days to accept or withdraw in writing; a lack of response or an unjustified withdrawal will result in automatically moving to the last place on the list. Justified causes include leave for birth or adoption, temporary disability, having a current employment contract, or performing political, union, or social representation functions.

Against the call, which ends the administrative route, an optional appeal for reversal may be filed within one month, or a contentious-administrative appeal before the contentious-administrative section of the Court of First Instance of Zamora within two months.

The call opens a temporary employment access route for English teachers and candidates for civil service exams in the province, who will have an ordered list of candidates for a maximum of three years. Inclusion in the pool does not generate a right to employment, but rather an expectation conditioned by the teaching needs of the Language Center Consortium of Zamora.
