Trujillo announces three vacancies for local development guidance technicians

The Trujillo City Council has announced three vacancies for guidance and prospecting technicians for local development, with a full-time temporary employment contract that may not exceed June 30, 2027. The rules governing the selection process are published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Cáceres number 216, dated November 11, 2026, with official reference BOP-2026-5291. Interested parties have ten business days from the day following that publication to submit their application, a period which, according to the calendar, closes on November 25, 2026.

The call is supported by the Agreement of July 28, 2026, of the Governing Council of the Junta de Extremadura, which approves the Municipal Economic Collaboration Program for guidance and prospecting for Local Development, and the Resolution of July 31, 2026, of the Councilor for Economy, Employment, and Digital Transformation, which ordered its publication in the Official Gazette of Extremadura on August 7, 2026. The rules were signed in Trujillo on November 5, 2026, by the mayor-president, María Inés Rubio Díaz.

The contract will be formalized under the modality of improving employability and labor insertion, as provided for in the ninth additional provision of Law 3/2023, of February 28, on Employment, as a contract linked to employment activation programs. The remuneration amounts to 1,704.85 gross euros per month, including the proportional part of extraordinary payments, and the schedule will be adapted to the needs of the service, in morning and/or afternoon shifts.

Requirements, qualification, and driver’s license

Those who, as of the closing date and throughout the process, meet the following conditions may apply:

• Spanish nationality or the requirements of article 57 of the Recast Text of the Basic Statute of Public Employees.
• To have reached sixteen years of age and not exceed the maximum compulsory retirement age.
• Functional capacity for the performance of the tasks and absence of causes for incapacity or incompatibility.
• Not to have been dismissed through disciplinary proceedings from any public administration nor to be disqualified.
• A diploma, degree, or undergraduate degree.
• Class B driver’s license.
• To prove, at the start or during the program, equality training of at least 20 hours.

The documentation shall be addressed to the mayor-president and submitted at the entry registry of the Trujillo City Council or through the channels of article 16.4 of Law 39/2015. The provisional list of admitted and excluded candidates will be published on the municipal electronic office and on the notice board, with three business days for corrections.

A ten-page project and fifteen minutes of defense

The selection system combines a competitive examination-project phase, with a maximum of six points and an eliminatory nature (three points are required to pass), and a merit-based phase of up to four points. In the first phase, the applicant must present and orally defend an activity report on labor guidance and prospecting in Trujillo, including a diagnosis of the labor and social reality of the municipality and proposals for intervention techniques.

The document shall have a maximum length of ten single-sided pages, in Arial size 12 font and 1.5 spacing, and the applicant will have a maximum of fifteen minutes for the presentation before the tribunal.

Two sections are evaluated in the merit-based phase:

• Professional experience, up to 2 points: 0.10 points per full month in public administrations and 0.05 points per month in private companies or as a freelancer.
• Training related to the position, up to 2 points, at a rate of 0.02 points per accredited hour.

Tribunal, waiting list, and 24-hour notifications

The qualifying tribunal will consist of a president, three members, and a secretary, all of whom are municipal public employees, along with their corresponding substitutes, and its composition will be made public on the notice board and on the electronic headquarters. During the process, workers’ representatives may be present as observers.

Applicants who meet the requirements but are not hired will form a waiting list in order of score, valid until the end of the program, which will be used to cover substitutions for leaves of absence. Notifications will be made by telephone, and the applicant will have a maximum of 24 hours to accept or decline the position and submit the documentation; failure to appear within this period will be understood as a rejection of the offer, and the next person will be called.

The functions to be performed by the technicians are aimed at improving the employability of unemployed and employed persons registered as job seekers with the Extremeño Public Employment Service (SEXPE) and providing advice to companies and support to the productive fabric of the municipality. The call is of particular interest to university graduates with experience in active employment policies and local development, for whom this offer represents a job opportunity of slightly more than six months in the local public sector.
