Malpartida de Cáceres announces a vacancy for an Administrative Assistant in the open entry category

The City Council of Malpartida de Cáceres has announced the permanent filling of one Administrative position for General Administration through a competitive examination process (concurso-oposición) via the open entry system. The rules and the call for applications were approved by Mayoral Resolution no. 0525/2026, dated November 5, 2026, and are published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Cáceres no. 0214, dated November 9, 2026 (official reference BOP-2026-5212). The announcement bears the signature of the mayor-president, Alfredo Aguilera Alcántara.

The position is vacant within the civil service staff and is budgetarily funded. It belongs to the General Administration Scale, Administrative Subscale, Group C, Subgroup C1, with destination supplement 18, and entitles the holder to the basic remuneration of Subgroup C1 provided for in Article 76 of Legislative Royal Decree 5/2015, which approves the revised text of the Basic Statute of the Public Employee.

The call for applications derives from the public employment offer approved by Mayoral Resolution no. 206/2026, dated May 13, 2026, published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Cáceres no. 90, dated May 14, 2026. Subsequent announcements regarding the process will be disseminated in the provincial gazette and on the municipal electronic office, and the procedure is also governed by Law 13/2015, of April 8, on the Public Service of Extremadura.

Requirements and twenty-business-day deadline

To participate, it is necessary to meet, by the end of the application period, the requirements of Article 56 of the Basic Statute of the Public Employee:

• Spanish nationality, without prejudice to the provisions for nationals of other States.
• Functional capacity for the performance of the tasks.
• To be at least sixteen years of age and not exceed the maximum compulsory retirement age.
• Not to have been dismissed through disciplinary proceedings nor be disqualified from public employment.
• To hold, or be in a position to obtain, a High School Diploma (Bachiller), Technical degree, or equivalent qualification.

Applications shall be submitted using the model in Annex I, accessible from the municipal electronic office, at the city council registry from 8:00 to 15:00 hours, via the electronic office itself, or at any office of the ORVE Network. The deadline is twenty business days counting from the day following the publication of the call in the Official State Gazette.

The examination fee is 15 euros, with a 50% reduction for persons with a disability equal to or greater than 33% and for those who have been unemployed for at least three months. Payment is to be made to the municipal Santander account ES58 0030 5121 9003 7510 0273, and payment does not substitute the submission of the application.

Two eliminatory exercises and a merit competition

The process will be evaluated on a maximum of 10 points: the competitive examination (oposición) accounts for 90% (9 points) and the merit assessment (concurso) for 10% (1 point). The competitive examination phase consists of two mandatory and eliminatory exercises, with a minimum score of 5 points required for each.

• First exercise: a multiple-choice questionnaire of 80 questions plus 8 reserve questions, with four alternative answers and a maximum of ninety minutes; 20 questions from the common part and 60 from the specific part, at 0.125 points per correct answer.
• Second exercise: resolution of two practical cases on the subjects of Annex II, without consultation of legal texts and with a maximum of ninety minutes.

The merit assessment phase evaluates professional merits up to 0.7 points—0.02 points per month in an Administrative position in Local Administration and 0.015 in other administrations—and training up to 0.3 points, at a rate of 0.0025 points per hour and limited to the last eight calendar years.

The qualifying tribunal will have the second category of Royal Decree 462/2002 and will be composed of a president, a secretary, and three members, all with voice and vote, appointed by resolution of the Mayor’s Office along with their substitutes.

Employment pool and appeals

A waiting list will be established with the applicants declared fit in at least the first exercise who do not obtain a position, to cover temporary positions, substitutions, and non-habitual tasks. Its maximum validity will be three years from its constitution, and the unjustified refusal of a job offer will result in exclusion from the pool.

Against the call for applications, which exhausts the administrative route, an optional appeal for reversal (recurso potestativo de reposición) may be filed before the Mayor’s Office within one month, or a contentious-administrative appeal before the Contentious-Administrative Court of Cáceres within two months, both from the day following the publication in the provincial bulletin.

The call opens a route of access to local public employment in the region of Cáceres for those with a High School Diploma (Bachiller) or Technical degree, with a single position at stake and a process that combines eliminatory tests with a scale for experience and training. In addition to the permanent position, the process will generate a job pool with three years of validity, a relevant resource for covering substitutions in the city council.
