Health Department and unions modify the temporary employment pact of the Sescam

The Official Gazette of Castilla-La Mancha publishes this Wednesday, November 11, in issue 216, the modification of the Pact on the Selection of Temporary Personnel of Sescam, agreed upon by the representation of the health Administration and the trade union organizations in the Sectoral Table of Health Institutions on October 13, 2026. The General Directorate of Freelancers, Labor and Social Economy accepts the deposit of the agreement and orders its publication through the Resolution of 10/29/2026, with official reference 2026/7974. The text alters the regime of the job bank of the Health Service of Castilla-La Mancha and creates a specific list of operating room orderlies.

The original pact was signed on March 3, 2014, between the representation of Sescam and the unions, and was published through the Resolution of April 9, 2014, of the General Directorate of Labor Relations and Occupational Health and Safety (DOCM no. 82, of May 2, 2014). It is now modified with code number 77100042172014 (MO_EB18Wt16) and the signature of the director general of Freelancers, Labor and Social Economy, Ana María Carmona Duque.

The official deposit and its regulatory support

The resolution of the Ministry of Economy, Business and Employment is based on the second additional provision of Royal Decree 713/2010, of May 28, on the registration and deposit of collective agreements and accords; on article 38.6 of Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, of October 30, which approves the revised text of the Law of the Basic Statute of the Public Employee; on article 152.4 of Law 4/2011, of March 10, on Public Employment of Castilla-La Mancha; and on Decree 64/2025, of September 9, regarding the organic structure of the Ministry.

The agreement was negotiated in accordance with article 80 of Law 55/2003, of December 16, of the Framework Statute of statutory personnel of health services, and articles 37 and 38 of the revised text of the Basic Statute of the Public Employee. The processing includes the communication of the deposit to the negotiating commission.

What changes in the job bank

The agreement, which appears as the first point of the published text, introduces two specific modifications to the current pact:

• A new paragraph e) is added to section 15, within the specific lists by category and service, with the wording “Orderly: operating room”.
• The first paragraph of section 17.4, which determines who remains in a non-available status in the job bank, is rewritten.

Regarding this second point, the new text establishes that those who “maintain a temporary appointment in force in the Sescam, or in other Health Services, or in the Administration of the Junta de Comunidades de Castilla-La Mancha” shall remain in a non-available status, provided there is correspondence with the classification group or subgroup, the professional category, and the functional content of the category being applied for.

Background and application calendar

The modification comes after the Central Monitoring Commission of the pact addressed various issues in its meeting on October 2, 2026, in exercise of the powers under section 20.1 of the pact itself, and after the Sectoral Table dealt with the matter in item 4 of its agenda.

The immediate context of the Sescam pools includes the publication, on October 22, 2026 (DOCM no. 203), of the notice regarding the final lists of the job pool for the extraordinary process for new applications for temporary personnel in certain categories, approved by Resolution of 05/22/2026 and issued by the Management Directorate of the organization on October 13, 2026.

The agreement empowers the holder of the Sescam Management Directorate to issue the necessary provisions for development and execution. Its effects unfold “from the day following its publication” in the Official Gazette, that is, from November 12, 2026.

Impact for temporary staff

The published regulation conditions the position of temporary professionals within a mechanism that organizes temporary hiring across the regional health service: anyone who already has a current temporary appointment in the Sescam, in another health service, or in the regional Administration will be marked as non-available when their category coincides with the position they are aspiring to. Furthermore, the recognition of the operating room orderly as a specific list adds a differentiated selection criterion for that category.
