The Valencian Institute of Culture announces three permanent staff positions

The Institut Valencià de Cultura (IVC) has announced selective access tests for permanent labor personnel to fill three job positions, through competitive examination and merit-and-examination systems, in the open access and internal promotion tracks. The call, approved by the General Directorate of the IVC via resolution dated August 11, 2026, is published in the Diari Oficial de la Generalitat Valenciana (DOGV) number 10438, dated August 27, 2026, in the Authorities and Personnel section, with the official reference DOGV-C-2026-26863.

The entity, integrated into the administrative public sector of the Generalitat, operates under Decree 5/2013, of January 4, of the Consell, which approves the Organization and Operation Regulations of CulturArts Generalitat, and Law 4/2021, of April 16, on the Valencian public service. The announced positions correspond to the public employment offer for the 2025 fiscal year, approved by resolution of the General Directorate on December 29, 2025 (DOGV 10272, of 12.31.2025). The call was negotiated with the IVC Works Council on July 7, 2026, and approved by the Board of Directors on July 28, 2026.

Announced positions and selection systems

Three positions are offered, all based in València:

• Accompanist pianist (OPE 2025, position 104), open track, competitive examination system.
• Senior procurement technician (position 258, group A), internal promotion, merit-and-examination.
• Intermediate administrative management technician (position 275, group B), internal promotion, merit-and-examination.

In the accompanist pianist category, as these are services of an artistic-musical nature, selection is carried out exclusively by competitive examination, with a maximum score of 100 points. In the remaining categories, the maximum final score is 100 points, of which 60 correspond to the examination phase and 40 to the merit phase.

Requirements, deadlines, and examination fees

The deadline for submitting applications will be twenty business days starting from the day following the publication in the DOGV. Applications shall be completed electronically on the IVC public employment platform (ivc.convoca.online), with identification via digital signature or electronic ID (DNI). For the internal promotion track, it is required to belong to the immediately lower classification group and to have provided effective services at the IVC for at least two years.

The examination fees are as follows:

• Accompanist pianist: 30 euros.
• Senior procurement technician: 30 euros.

Bonuses of 50% are foreseen for large families or single-parent families of the general category, and exemptions for people with a disability equal to or greater than 33%, large families or single-parent families of the special category, and women victims of gender-based violence.

Tests and selection bodies

The competitive phase for the accompanying pianist consists of two exercises: performance of fragments of operatic and symphonic-choral repertoire (50 points) and sight-reading (50 points). For the technician categories, the competitive phase includes a multiple-choice questionnaire and a theoretical-practical case study, with specific syllabi covering, among other subjects, public sector procurement and the functioning of the Circuit Cultural Valencià.

The technical selection bodies (OTS) will be designated by resolution of the Undersecretariat of the Conselleria of Education, Culture and Universities, and their composition will be published at least one month before the start of the tests. The calling of candidates will begin with the letter “P”, in accordance with the draw held on January 12, 2026 (DOGV 10289, of 01.27.2026).

Impact

The call for applications represents an opportunity for employment stabilization in the Valencian cultural sector, with positions for both open access and internal promotion for the IVC’s own staff. Positions not filled in the internal promotion shift will be added to the open shift, and upon completion of the process, a temporary employment pool will be established with candidates who have passed at least the first exercise, which expands the possibilities of joining the organization.
