The Provincial Council calls for a senior official for International Relations

The Diputació de Barcelona has announced the filling, via the free appointment system, of the position of senior official secretary level 1 assigned to the Directorate of International Relations, under reference L-42/26. The announcement is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Barcelona on November 5, 2026, with the official code CVE 202610164378. The process is internal: only career civil servants of the same corporation may apply.

The call is deployed under the Regulation for the filling of job positions of the Diputació de Barcelona, approved by the Corporate Plenary on January 26, 1995, and published in the BOPB no. 110 - Annex I, on May 9, 1995. The announcement bears the classification code 1476 - Filling of job positions by free appointment and occupies pages 1 to 3 of the gazette. The text is signed by Maria Dolores Miró Folgado, Director of Human Resources Services, with an act date of November 2, 2026, three days prior to publication.

A position reserved for career civil servants

The rules establish five access conditions, all of which must be verifiable before the submission of the application:

• Be a career civil servant of the Diputació de Barcelona.
• Be in active service or in any other administrative situation that, according to current regulations, allows participation in the call.
• Hold the category in ownership or belong, as a career civil servant, to the classification subgroup specified in the rules.
• Prove a minimum seniority of two years in the position currently held within the corporation, with the exceptions detailed in the Regulation for the filling of job positions.
• Possess the functional capacity necessary for the proper development of the basic and specific functions of the position.

The document does not detail the specific subgroup nor the remuneration of the position: these elements are referred to the full rules, displayed on the Notice Board of the Diputació and in the Provision section of the Human Resources Electronic Office.

Fifteen business days and electronic application

The deadline for submitting applications is fifteen business days starting from the day after the publication of the announcement in the provincial gazette. Submission outside the deadline will result in the exclusion of the interested person, and only the experience and merits provided within this period will be evaluated.

The application is addressed to the presidency of the Diputació de Barcelona and is processed electronically through the Electronic Office, with identification via idCAT, DNIe, or Cl@ve. The following must be attached:

• The numbered curriculum vitae.
• The numbered supporting documentation that must accompany it.
• The application in the standardized model provided in the rules.

Submitting the application in a format other than the one established or through an unforeseen channel will result in inadmissibility, an anomaly that can only be corrected with a new application within the deadline. Applicants are responsible for the accuracy of the data provided, and the Administration may require reliable accreditation of any document.

Three positions open in International Relations in less than two months

The position of senior official is added to two previous calls from the same directorate, both published on September 14, 2026:

• L-30/26, for the position of head of the Municipal Support Service in the areas of Europe, Cooperation, and Internationalization.
• L-31/26, for the position of advisory technician for the promotion of strategic international relations projects.

All three are freely appointable and affect the same unit, which thus concentrates the renewal of a good part of its management team in just over seven weeks. The model has also been replicated in other areas: on October 7, 2026, call L-34/26 was published for an equivalent position of level 1 senior official supporting the Directorate of Training Services.

The call arrives with the corporate mandate already underway and leaves the appointment calendar in the hands of the process result: once the fifteen-working-day deadline has closed, the assessment of merits and the awarding of the position will correspond to the competent Human Resources bodies of the Provincial Council.
