Quiroga calls for five health posts for the Early Attention service

The Quiroga City Council has approved the regulatory bases for the selection process and subsequent appointment of five health positions for the shared management Early Intervention Service, based in the Lugo locality. The call, signed by the mayor-president José Luis Rivera Castro on October 1, 2026, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lugo no. 230, of October 8, 2026, under reference R. 2683. The appointments will be temporary as interim civil servant personnel by program and may extend until October 31, 2028.

Regulatory framework and territorial scope

The call derives from the Order of July 22, 2026, which establishes the regulatory bases for the granting of subsidies to local entities of the Autonomous Community of Galicia for the provision of services within the framework of the Galician Early Intervention Network for the years 2026 to 2028, co-financed by the European Union under the ESF+ Galicia 2021-2027 program. The order, processed with procedure code BS700A, was published in the Official Gazette of Galicia no. 149, of August 10, 2026, with a correction of errors in no. 155, of August 18, 2026.

The service will be provided jointly across eight municipalities:

• Quiroga
• Ribas de Sil
• Folgoso do Courel
• Bóveda
• Sober
• O Saviñao
• Pantón
• A Pobra de Brollón

Five positions and labor conditions

The announced positions are divided among three professional categories, all part-time:

• Two positions for a psychopedagogue or psychologist, one at 35 hours per week and another at 30 hours.
• Two positions for a speech therapist, one at 35 hours per week and another at 32 hours.
• One position for an occupational therapist at 25 hours per week.

The contracting modality is that of an interim civil servant for the execution of temporary programs, under Article 10 of Legislative Royal Decree 5/2015, of October 30, which approves the recast text of the Law of the Basic Statute of the Public Employee. The service will be carried out during morning hours from Monday to Friday and, a minimum of four days a week, during afternoon hours starting from 3:30 PM, with a minimum of three hours each afternoon, traveling to the different councils integrated into the program.

The reference gross annual remunerations are as follows:

• Psychologist or psychopedagogue at 35 hours: 24,419.00 euros.
• Psychologist or psychopedagogue at 30 hours: 20,930.28 euros.
• Speech therapist at 35 hours: 24,419.00 euros.
• Speech therapist at 32 hours: 22,325.88 euros.
• Occupational therapist at 25 hours: 17,443.03 euros.

Appointments are expected to begin on November 1, 2026, and will be linked to the execution of the program and its financing, with a maximum duration until October 31, 2028.

Requirements, tests, and application deadline

Among the requirements, Spanish nationality is demanded, having reached sixteen years of age without exceeding the maximum compulsory retirement age, functional capacity, lack of records in the Central Registry of Sexual Offenders, and possession of a type B driver’s license. The required qualification is a diploma or degree in Speech Therapy, Occupational Therapy, Psychology, or Psychopedagogy, with specialization or experience in child development and early intervention and/or family support. Knowledge of Galician is accredited with Celga 4 or equivalent; in the absence of certification, there will be a written test.

The process consists of an opposition phase, with a multiple-choice questionnaire of 40 questions plus four reserve questions to be answered in 90 minutes, and a merit competition phase. The opposition scores up to 10 points and the competition up to 5, with a total maximum of 15. The deadline for submitting applications is 10 calendar days from the day following the publication of the rules in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lugo, using the official form at the General Registry of the City Council of Quiroga or through the means provided for in article 16.4 of Law 39/2015.

Job bank and appeals

The rules create a job bank with a validity of three years, which will be accessed by order of score for future temporary appointments. Against the resolution, which ends the administrative route, an appeal for reversal may be filed within one month or a contentious-administrative appeal within two months.

The call responds to the need to provide stable personnel for the early intervention service that serves the children of eight municipalities in the mountains and the south of Lugo, a key health and social benefit for the early detection of developmental disorders. The filling of these five positions will allow the program to be maintained until 2028 with European funding.
