La Cerdanya announces a competitive examination to fill a permanent administrative position

The Cerdanya County Council has approved the specific bases and the call for the selection process for the civil service appointment of the administrative position at the Citizen Service Office, through a competitive examination (concurs-oposició) in a restricted internal promotion turn. The decision was adopted by Presidency Decree no. 2026-0207, of August 24, 2026 (file 1758/2026), and has been published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lleida (no. 169, edict 7465, of September 3, 2026, CVE BOP-2026_0_169_7465).

The process is based on the second transitional provision of the revised text of the Law of the Basic Statute of Public Employees, approved by Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, of October 30 (TREBEP), which allows permanent contractual staff who performed the functions of civil service staff to access the status of career civil servant. The position is included in the public employment offer for the 2026 financial year, in the wording resulting from Presidency Decree no. 2026-0168, of July 2, 2026 (file 1584/2026).

One position, administrative scale

The object of the call is a single position, assigned to the general administration scale, administrative sub-scale, group C, subgroup C1, with the following characteristics:

• Destination supplement level: 15.
• Annual specific supplement: 7,801.90 euros.
• Working day: full-time.
• Selection system: competitive examination (concurs-oposició), restricted internal promotion turn.

The position appears as created and budgetarily funded in the personnel staff list for the 2026 financial year, in the wording resulting from the modification approved by the Plenary on May 27, 2026 (file 1059/2026), and the position has been assigned a civil service legal nature in the list of job positions (file 898/2026). The functions are those typical of the administrative sub-scale, with special attention to citizen assistance regarding registration, the use of electronic means, the issuance of certified copies, and the processing of the assistance and information service.

Requirements and submission of applications

To participate, one must have the status of permanent contractual staff of the Cerdanya County Council and have performed, as of May 13, 2007, functions typical of civil service staff of the scale and sub-scale subject to the call, or have begun performing them by virtue of tests called before that date. Spanish nationality or that of a state admitted by the TREBEP, a high school diploma (batxillerat) or equivalent, functional capacity, and C1 level knowledge of Catalan are also required.

Applications shall be submitted to the general electronic registry of the corporation, within a period of twenty calendar days starting from the day after the publication of the announcement in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya. If the announcement in the Official State Gazette is published later, the period shall be calculated from the day after this latter publication.

Process phases and merit scale

The competitive examination system consists of an examination phase, with a maximum score of 20 points, and a merit phase, with a maximum of 10 points, for a total of 30. The examination phase is limited to the knowledge tests not evaluated in the process that granted access to the status of permanent contractual staff, and includes a mandatory and eliminatory practical exercise of ninety minutes, in addition to the Catalan language test for those who do not prove the required level.

The following merits, among others, are valued in the merit phase:

• Effective services rendered as permanent contractual staff at the Cerdanya County Council (0.10 points per month, maximum 5 points).
• Selective tests passed to access the status of permanent contractual staff (2 points).
• Services in other public administrations in analogous positions (0.03 points per month, maximum 1 point).
• Training courses related to the functions of the position (0.01 points per hour, maximum 1.50 points).
• Catalan C2 certificate (0.25 points) and ACTIC accreditation (up to 0.25 points).

Appointment and effects

The list of successful candidates will be published on the notice board of the corporation’s electronic headquarters, and the proposed person must prove the requirements within twenty days. The appointment will be made by resolution of the Presidency and will be published in the Official Provincial Gazette and the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya. Taking office entails the extinction of the permanent employment relationship by novation of the bond, and the contractual staff position that becomes vacant is automatically amortized from the staff list.

Participation is voluntary: those who do not participate or do not pass do not lose their status as permanent contractual staff. The process, signed by president Isidre Chia Trilles, is relevant for the permanent contractual staff of the corporation, as it opens the way to consolidate a key position in citizen service as a career civil servant, without loss of seniority or remuneration.
