Picassent approves its public employment offer for the 2026 fiscal year

The Picassent City Council has approved its public employment offer (OEP) for the 2026 fiscal year, a key step for filling municipal positions and stabilizing its workforce. The decision was made public through an announcement in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia, number 168, dated September 2, 2026, within the Municipalities section, under official reference 2026/10794.

The publication of the announcement marks the formal start of the administrative procedure that will allow applicants to learn about the called positions and, subsequently, apply for the corresponding selection processes. The public employment offer is the instrument through which the municipal corporation annually plans personnel needs, both for new hires and internal promotion.

Regulatory Framework and Scope of the OEP

The public employment offer is framed within state public service regulations, which require administrations to annually approve their human resources plan and publish it in the corresponding official gazette to ensure publicity and transparency in the process. In the case of Valencian municipalities, the publication is carried out in the Official Gazette of the Province of Valencia, edited by the Provincial Council of Valencia.

The 2026 OEP of Picassent joins the trend of recent years, in which city councils have prioritized the stabilization of temporary employment and the consolidation of structural positions. This type of call is especially relevant for applicants to local administration positions, who find in these announcements the first official reference to the positions that will be filled.

Positions and Selection Processes

Although the details of the specific positions and selection systems will be developed in the specific rules of each call, the approval of the OEP sets the general framework for the positions the council intends to fill during the fiscal year. Selection processes may be organized through different systems:

• Competitive examination (Oposición), for filling new entry positions.
• Competitive merit-based examination (Concurso-oposición), which combines the assessment of merits with selection tests.
• Merit competition (Concurso de méritos), common in temporary employment stabilization processes.

The publication of the announcement in the official gazette initiates the legal deadlines for interested parties to consult the full content of the offer and, if applicable, submit allegations or appeals under the terms provided by the regulations.
