Requirements, fees, and submission of applications

Applicants must be at least 16 years old, hold a school certificate or equivalent qualification, possess the functional capacity for the position, and hold a class B driver’s license. For the operator and tractor driver processes, Celga 1 or equivalent is required; for the tourist information officer, Celga 4. For the two tourism positions, qualifications such as higher technician in tourist information and marketing, higher technician in tourist guiding, information and assistance, technician in tourist enterprises and activities, a degree or diploma in tourism, a professional certificate in local tourism promotion, or directly related university degrees are accepted.

The examination fee amounts to 12.00 euros for the operator and tractor driver processes and 24.00 euros for the tourist information officer, to be deposited into the municipal account ES4320800143363110000018. Along with the application, a copy of the DNI, a responsible declaration of compliance with requirements, a list of merits with supporting documents, academic qualification and, depending on the case, a driver’s license and Galician language certificate must be provided.

Two phases, thirty points and employment pools

The opposition phase is worth a maximum of 30 points and consists of a multiple-choice questionnaire of 20 questions plus three reserve questions, with a duration of 30 minutes, in which each correct answer adds 0.75 points and each error subtracts 0.05. This is followed by a practical content test valued at 15 points and a Galician language exercise qualified as fit or unfit, from which those who prove the corresponding Celga are exempt. To pass the opposition, 15 points must be achieved between the first and second exercises.

The competition phase values up to 20 points: services provided in local administration in the same position score 0.30 per month (maximum 5), those provided in other administrations in the same category 0.10 per month (maximum 4), and those performed in any position 0.02 per month (maximum 1). Specific training courses provide up to 9 points and those in related subjects up to 1. Each process also creates an employment pool to cover interim positions, with three telephone calls spaced half an hour apart and publication of movements on the electronic headquarters.

The closing of the application period will open a calendar of provisional lists, amendments of ten business days, and the constitution of tribunals that will extend over the coming months. For Sarria, the call consolidates sensitive municipal services —maintenance of neighborhood roads, gardens, and tourist assistance in a municipality crossed by the Camino de Santiago— and represents one of the largest local public employment offers of the year in the south of the province of Lugo.
