The offer consists of one laborer position with a six-month full-time contract.

The call is issued under Order 46/2026, of April 7, of the Ministry of Economy, Business and Employment, which regulates the bases for the granting of subsidies for the implementation of the Active Employment Support Program.

Applications shall be submitted to the General Registry of the City Council or through the channels provided for in Article 16.4 of Law 39/2015, of October 1, addressed to the mayor-president according to the model in Annex I.

The mandatory documents are the DNI (ID card), the job seeker card, the phytosanitary certificate, the driver’s license, and the report of registration periods as a job seeker. The absence of any of these implies automatic exclusion from the process. The authorization in Annex II is also required to consult data in other agencies.

Scoring scale and selection committee

The evaluation of merits combines the length of unemployment (0.1 points for every three-month period, up to a maximum of 2), family per capita income (from 0 to 5 points), family responsibilities (0.7 points per dependent member), degree of disability (from 0.5 to 2 points), social exclusion status certified by Social Welfare (1 point), work experience in maintenance positions (0.1 points per month, maximum 5), and related training (1 point per course over 50 hours, maximum 5).

The Local Selection Committee will be composed of a president who is a career civil servant or permanent labor staff, three members, and the secretary of the corporation, and may incorporate specialist advisors. In the event of a tie, preference will be given to those who were not hired in the last call and, among priority groups, persons over 50 years of age.

The publication of the rules opens an opportunity for direct labor insertion for the unemployed of the municipality, who will have slightly more than two weeks to formalize their application and prove the merits of the scoring scale. The process is furthermore subject to data protection regulations in the publication of the list of proposed persons.
