Logroño announces six social worker vacancies in Social Services

The Logroño City Council has announced a competition to fill six positions in the Special Administration Scale, Group A, Subgroup A2: one section head position and five social worker positions assigned to the area of Family Policies, Social Services, and Disability. The call was approved by the Local Government Board in its session on October 28, 2026, and is published in the Official Gazette of La Rioja number 216, dated November 9, 2026, with reference BOR-A-20261109-II–1251 (file 825/2026). Interested civil servants will have a period of 15 business days to submit their applications.

The agreement, signed by Mayor Conrado Escobar Las Heras, exhausts the administrative route and is based on the General Bases for the provision of vacant positions in the municipal Catalog through public competition, approved by the Local Government Board agreement of March 23, 2022. The call is addressed to career civil servants, both from the City Council itself and from other public administrations when specified by the Catalog or the List of Job Positions.

The announced positions

The annex to the agreement details two distinct positions, both within the Special Administration class, subgroup A2, with an assigned destination supplement:

• Head of First Care and Employment Section, code 100165, one position, destination supplement level 25 and a specific supplement of 19,720.44 euros per year.
• Social Worker, code 306, five positions, destination supplement level 23 and a specific supplement of 17,760.84 euros per year.

Both destinations depend on the Family Policies, Social Services, and Disability unit and are listed as DOT 1 and DOT 23, respectively, with provision by competition.

Deadline, requirements, and submission

Applications shall be addressed to the Mayor and submitted within 15 business days starting from the day following the publication of the call in the Official Gazette of La Rioja. Career civil servants who meet the required requirements on the closing date of the period may participate, with the following particularities:

• Civil servants on leave for private interest may only compete if they have been in that situation for more than two years and there is a budgetary vacancy.
• Those occupying non-permanent positions must participate mandatorily.
• Active civil servants with a permanent destination require that two years have passed since taking possession of their last destination obtained by competition.
• Newly appointed career civil servants may not compete until two years have passed since taking possession of their post.

Submission may be made at the General Registry of the Logroño City Council and at the Auxiliary Registry of the General Directorate of Knowledge and Professional Competencies, both located in the City Hall (Avenida de la Paz, 11), from 9:00 to 14:00 hours on business days, or via the municipal electronic office. If the application does not meet the requirements, 10 days will be granted to rectify the deficiencies.

Scale, commission, and calendar

The minimum score to obtain an award is set at 5.00 points for general merits and 2.00 points in the practical test of specific merits. Applicants may request, in order of preference, as many vacancies as are included or result from the awards.

The Evaluation Commission will be chaired by Jesús Esteban López, with Silvia González Flores as substitute, and will include as full members Cristina Estenaga Glera, María Luisa Ruiz de Escudero, Valentín Bento Aransay, José María Iglesias Alvés, Patricia Sevilla Domenech, and María Moral Astola. The substitute members are Ana Campos Leza, Ida Belén Rodríguez Ugalde, Carlos Terroba García, and Manel Raimí Lozano. The secretariat is held by Pilar Latorre Martínez, with Marta Cañas Aceña as substitute.

The maximum period for resolution is two months from the day following the closing of the submission of applications, extendable by up to two more months in exceptional cases. The list of admitted and excluded candidates will be drawn up within a maximum of 20 days after the deadline closes, with five days to file objections. An administrative appeal may be filed against the agreement before the Contentious-Administrative Section of the Court of First Instance of Logroño within two months, or an optional appeal for reversal within one month.

Impact on the municipal service

The call reinforces the staff of the area managing family policies, social services, and disability care in the municipality, with five permanent positions and one section head that until now had to be covered through other means. Furthermore, the competition comes with a closed calendar—15 days to apply, two months to resolve—and with the composition of the commission already fixed, providing certainty to the civil servants aspiring to a definitive destination in these services.
