Sarria calls for two permanent nursing positions at the elderly residence

The Autonomous Body Nursing Home Nosa Señora do Carme, dependent on the Sarria City Council, announces two vacancies for ATS/DUE (Nursing Technician/Graduate Nurse) as permanent labor staff, included in the Public Employment Offer (OPE) for the year 2023. The bases were approved by the president of the body, Claudio M. Garrido Martínez, through Resolution 20260529, dated October 16, 2026, and were published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Lugo in issue number 242, on Thursday, October 22, 2026, with reference R. 2857.

The call will be carried out through a competitive examination system (concurso-oposición) in the open turn and affects two vacant positions assigned to post 02.02.04, framed within contribution group 2. The contracting modality is that provided for in article 15 of the revised text of the Workers’ Statute Law, provided there is justification and appropriate credit. The required profile is that of personnel with the corresponding qualification and legal capacity to practice the profession.

The process is part of a series of calls that the body is closing to exhaust the 2023 offer. The bases for seven geriatric auxiliary positions have already been approved, through Resolution 2026-0500, dated October 2, 2026, published in the BOP on October 8.

Urgent processing to meet deadlines

The mayor of Sarria signed Decree 2026-0530, dated October 16, 2026, declaring the urgent processing of the selective processes of the autonomous body’s OPE 2023, including that of these two nursing positions. The measure responds to the need to complete the processes within the non-extendable period of three years established by article 48.4 of Law 2/2015, on public employment in Galicia.

This decree reduces the ordinary processing deadlines by half, with two exceptions: the deadline for submitting applications and the deadlines for filing administrative or judicial appeals. No appeal may be filed against the urgency agreement, although its opposition may be alleged in the resolution that closes the procedure.

Requirements and twenty days to submit applications

Applicants must meet the following conditions:

• Hold Spanish nationality, without prejudice to the provisions of article 57 of the Basic Statute of the Public Employee.
• Possess the functional capacity for the performance of the tasks.
• Be at least sixteen years old and not exceed the maximum age of compulsory retirement.
• Not be separated by disciplinary proceedings nor disqualified from public employment.
• Be in possession of a Diploma or Degree in Nursing, or an equivalent qualification recognized in Spain.
• Accredit Celga 4 or equivalent, unless the option to take the Galician language test is chosen.

Applications shall be addressed to the president of the body, adjusted to the model in Annex I, and submitted by any of the means specified in article 16.4 of Law 39/2015. The deadline is 20 calendar days counting from the day following the publication of the call announcement in the Official State Gazette. Along with the application, a copy of the DNI, a responsible declaration of compliance with requirements, qualification, documentation of merits and, if applicable, the disability certificate for adaptations must be attached.

Three eliminatory exercises and twenty merit points

The opposition phase is worth a maximum of 30 points and consists of three mandatory and eliminatory exercises:

• First exercise: written exposition of two topics, to be chosen from three drawn at random from Block I of the syllabus, with one and a half hours. Maximum 10 points and minimum 5 to pass.
• Second exercise: multiple-choice questionnaire of 40 questions plus 5 reserve questions, with four alternative answers and 60 minutes. Each correct answer is worth 0.25 points and each error subtracts 0.05; the minimum is 5 points.
• Third exercise: practical case on blocks II and III, with a maximum of 10 points and a minimum of 5.
• Galician test: 30-minute written translation, qualified as fit or unfit, from which persons with Celga 4 are exempt.

The competition phase values up to 20 merit points. For services rendered in local Administration or in dependent autonomous bodies in ATS/DUE positions, 0.30 points are granted per full month, with a maximum of 5; for services in any Public Administration in the same category, 0.10 points per month, up to 4; and for positions linked to the care of people, 0.02 points per month, up to 1. Training and improvement courses add up to 10 points, depending on their duration.

The final qualification results from the sum of both phases, provided that the opposition is passed with a minimum of 15 points. Ties are resolved by the higher score in the first exercise, then in the second and third, then by service merits and, as a last resort, by draw.

Tribunal, electronic office and employment exchange

The qualifying tribunal will be designated by the presidency and will have a presidency, three memberships, and a secretariat, the latter being in the charge of the Secretary of the City Council or whoever legally replaces them. Its composition will be announced together with the definitive list of admitted persons and must aim for parity between men and women.

The rules and subsequent announcements are published on the electronic office https://residenciamaioresnosasradocarme.sedelectronica.gal. Once the application period has ended, the presidency will issue a resolution within 10 calendar days with the provisional list of admitted and excluded persons and will open 5 calendar days for claims or amendments.

The process will also generate a job pool that will be added to the one currently in effect within the organization, consisting of individuals who pass any of the exercises and ordered first by those who pass all three tests. Calls are made via three telephone calls separated by half an hour, and the pool allows for the statuses of available, occupied, suspension of calls, excluded, and unreachable.

The call for applications comes at a time of pressure on the healthcare personnel of the region’s residences, and it does so through a stable access route: two permanent nursing positions to be resolved by a competitive examination (concurso-oposición) which, furthermore, feed the center’s temporary hiring list. For personnel already working in the residence, merits for services rendered in the local Administration become the decisive factor in the competition phase.
