Reus announces three administrative positions via open competitive examination

The Reus City Council announces three administrative positions for the civil servant staff through a competitive examination system (concurs oposició) for open entry. The specific rules governing the process were approved by Decree no. 2026024728, dated November 3, 2026, and published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Tarragona on November 9, 2026 (CVE 2026-10396). The three positions are included in the Public Employment Offer of the Reus City Council for the year 2024.

The process is framed within the general rules of the city council’s 2024 public employment offer selection processes, which establish the common requirements, the submission deadline, and the regulations for the job bank. The document, consisting of fourteen pages and electronically signed on November 4, 2026, by the deputy secretary Luis Martin Montull, includes the complete syllabus of the annex and the merit scale for the competition phase. The call is processed under the urgency procedure provided for in Article 33 of Law 39/2015, with a reduction in administrative deadlines.

Characteristics of the positions and functions

The announced positions have the following characteristics:

• Designation in the staff list: administrative officer, civil servant status.
• Number of positions: three, by competitive examination and open entry.
• Entry in the Job Position List (RLT): number 26.
• Classification: group C, subgroup C1.
• Destination supplement: 20; specific supplement: 408 points (20.97 euros per point or the current rate).

The holder will be assigned to an administrative position with functions involving the processing and monitoring of administrative files and contact with third parties, classification and management of information and documents in the field, preparation of databases and working documents, external and internal information for the service, occupational risk prevention, and all general functions assigned to them.

Requirements, fee, and submission of applications

Applicants must meet the following qualification and language requirements by the final day of submission:

• High school diploma (LOGSE or BUP), higher technician in higher-level vocational training cycles, second-degree professional training, or have passed the university entrance exams for those over 25 years old.
• Alternatively, civil servants with ten years of seniority as an administrative assistant, or five years and a specific course from the School of Public Administration of Catalonia.
• Catalan language certificate of proficiency level (C1); those who do not prove this will take a mandatory and eliminatory test graded as pass or fail.
• Catalan and Spanish: the Spanish test (level B2) only affects applicants without Spanish nationality.

Examination fees are set at 30.43 euros, in accordance with Fiscal Ordinance No. 13 regulating the fee for the issuance of administrative documents. Incomplete or unproven payment will result in exclusion, which may be rectified within five business days. Applications, accompanied by a signed curriculum vitae, degree, proof of fee payment, Catalan certificate, and accreditation of merits, must be submitted via the municipal electronic office www.reus.cat, addressed to the mayor. The period begins the day after publication in the provincial bulletin and ends twenty calendar days from the day after the publication of the extract in the Official State Gazette.

Four exercises, merit competition, and internships

The start of the selection tests will take place during the first quarter of 2027. The opposition phase consists of four exercises:

• Questionnaire of 50 questions with four alternative answers, 60 minutes, graded from 0 to 10 points with a minimum of 5 to pass.
• Practical test on scenarios related to the syllabus and the functions of the position, up to two hours, from 0 to 15 points with a minimum of 7.5.
• Language proficiency: Catalan C1 and, if applicable, Spanish B2 for non-national applicants.
• Structured interview on five competencies (motivation, resilience, communication skills, service orientation, and quality orientation), from 0 to 5 points and non-eliminatory.

Those who pass the opposition move to the competition phase, which is non-eliminatory and has a maximum of 15 points, with the following scale: professional experience up to 5 points, services rendered up to 4 points, specialization courses up to 4 points, and other merits (ACTIC, specific Catalan, languages, and risk prevention) up to 2 points. The qualifying tribunal will be composed of a president and four members, one of whom will be the secretary, appointed by the mayor or delegated councillor. The process concludes with a mandatory and eliminatory internship period of four months of actual work.

Appeals

The call and the rules may be optionally challenged through an appeal for reversal before the mayor within one month, or directly through the contentious-administrative route before the contentious-administrative courts of Tarragona within two months. The provisional list of admitted and excluded persons will be published within five business days in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya, on the electronic notice board, and on the municipal website, and replaces individual notification.

With this call, Reus activates three new civil servant positions in subgroup C1 and opens a stable access route to municipal public employment for those with higher vocational degrees and baccalaureate. Applicants have a few weeks to prepare the documentation and the fee, and the calendar sets the tests for the first quarter of 2027, meaning that effective incorporation will not occur before the second half of that year, once the internship period has been completed.
