In all cases, the remuneration is that corresponding to the statutory personnel of the called position and the performance is temporary, subject to periodic evaluation, with the causes for termination specified in article 60 of Decree 37/2011.

Who can apply and how they are chosen

Permanent statutory staff, career civil servants, or permanent contractual staff providing services within the scope of the Aragonese Health Service in the category of nurse may participate; in the case of Alcañiz, staff from the C1 and C2 categories of Management and Services. Temporary staff who meet the requirements and are providing services within the organic staff of the convening center are also admitted.

The assessment corresponds to a Selection Commission whose composition will be established in accordance with Article 73 of Decree 37/2011 and will be published on the notice board of the Barbastro Sector, on the singularized positions website of the Aragonese Health Service, or on the Alcañiz Sector intranet, depending on the call. The proposal for the person considered most suitable may only fall to temporary staff if the non-existence of a suitable applicant among the permanent staff is justified.

Fifteen business days and six months for resolution

The deadline for submitting applications is fifteen business days from the day following the publication of each resolution in the Official Gazette of Aragon, using the model in Annex I addressed to the management of the corresponding sector. The management will issue the final resolution within a maximum period of six months and may declare the position vacant; an administrative appeal may be filed against the call before the General Management of the Aragonese Health Service within one month.

The resolutions are signed by Carmen Tosat Mancho, manager of the Barbastro Sector (also manager of the Huesca Sector by order of June 12, 2026); Luis Miguel Gómez San Martín, manager of the Zaragoza III Sector; and Pedro Manuel Eced Bellido, acting manager of the Alcañiz Sector and manager of the Teruel Sector.

The publication confirms the continuity of the renewal of middle management in Aragonese healthcare: the Zaragoza III Sector had already called for other supervisor positions in August and early October at Lozano Blesa and at the “Inocencio Jiménez” Medical Specialties Center, and on October 2, it resolved the one for the transplant unit. For the nursing and IT staff of the Aragonese Health Service, these six resolutions open seven management positions with a margin of fifteen business days to submit the application.
