The Levante Almeriense Firefighters Consortium announces 79 vacancies

The Fire Extinction and Rescue Consortium of the Almerian Levante has announced 79 Firefighter positions through internal promotion and competitive examination. The call and its guidelines are published in the Official Gazette of the Junta de Andalucía (BOJA) no. 207, dated October 26, 2026, with reference PP. 2003/2026 and text no. 13827. It is the largest local public employment offer in that edition of the gazette.

The announcement is dated October 19, 2026, and appears in the section for competitive examinations, contests, and other calls of the gazette, under the heading of Provincial Councils, which encompasses supra-municipal local entities. The text occupies one page of the issue and refers to the guidelines governing the selection process, which are published alongside the call.

The Fire Extinction and Rescue Consortium of the Almerian Levante is the entity that groups the municipalities of the coast and the eastern interior of the province of Almería for the provision of fire extinction and rescue services. The call is processed through two simultaneous channels, internal promotion and competitive examination, allowing positions to be filled by both personnel already integrated into the structure and new applicants.

Call details

• Calling body: Fire Extinction and Rescue Consortium of the Almerian Levante.
• Positions announced: 79, in the category of Firefighter.
• Selection systems: internal promotion and competitive examination.
• Announcement date: October 19, 2026.
• Publication: BOJA no. 207, dated October 26, 2026.
• Official reference: PP. 2003/2026, text no. 13827.

Reinforcement also in the command scale

In the same issue of the gazette, the Almerian consortium publishes a second call, dated October 20, 2026, for the provision through internal promotion by competitive examination of one Inspector position and three Sub-inspector positions, the latter belonging to Group B. That announcement carries the reference PP. 2013/2026 and text no. 13883.

The two calls, processed by the same internal promotion procedure, affect the complete structure of the service: the operational scale, with the 79 Firefighter positions, and the command scale, with the four Inspector and Sub-inspector posts. The consortium thus concentrates its largest personnel recruitment package of recent years into a single administrative week.

The largest local offer of the edition

The volume of the call stands out from the other local selection processes published that day. In the same issue of the BOJA, among others, are the 55 positions for Home Help Assistant of the Maracena City Council (PP. 1957/2026, text no. 13504), the eight positions for Multiple Services Operator of the same council (PP. 1998/2026, text no. 13788) and the two positions for Technical Architect of the Ronda City Council (PP. 1889/2026, text no. 12838).

None of the other local calls in this edition approach the 79 positions of the Almería consortium, which are furthermore published in a single announcement and with a single administrative reference. This offer is added to other firefighter calls already published in the bulletin during previous weeks, such as the 25 Firefighter positions of the Alcalá de Guadaíra City Council (PP. 1810/2026, text no. 12185) and the seven Firefighter-Driver positions of the Martos City Council (PP. 1880/2026, text no. 12785).

What this means for applicants

The call opens two different doors to the same professional category: those who already serve in the consortium may apply through internal promotion, while the competitive examination (concurso-oposición) allows for the entry of new personnel. The rules published alongside the announcement are the document that establishes the participation requirements and the development of the tests, so consulting them in the official text is essential before submitting any application.

For the municipalities of the Almería Levante, the incorporation of 79 personnel and four commanders represents a significant expansion of the staff of an emergency service that covers a territory with strong seasonal pressure. For applicants, the calendar and specific conditions are set in BOJA no. 207, of October 26, 2026, which is the official reference that must guide any procedure.
