Job pool and appeals

A job pool will be formed with those who pass the competitive examination, ordered by the sum of the scores from both phases, which will be approved by the presidency and will govern call-ups for two years, with priority over previous pools. Against the call for applications, which exhausts the administrative route, a motion for reconsideration may be filed with the County Council within one month and, subsequently, an administrative contentious appeal before the Administrative Contentious Court of Teruel.

The call strengthens the staff of one of the districts with the greatest municipal presence in the province of Teruel and opens a stable route for higher-degree graduates to access local public employment: both through the permanent position and through the job pool, which will allow substitutions and temporary needs to be covered swiftly over the next two years.
