Vila-seca announces the opening for the position of Head of Governance and Internal Regime

The City Council of Vila-seca has opened the definitive provision of the job position of Head of the Area of Governance and Internal Regime, subgroup A1, through the inter-administrative mobility system. The Local Governing Board approved the regulatory bases in an ordinary session on September 28, 2026, and the Official Gazette of the Province of Tarragona (BOPT) publishes them this October 5, with reference CVE 2026-09036 and file 2026 11106. The text, signed by the general secretary Ignacio Río Santos, occupies eight pages of section I of the gazette.

The call is governed by the General Bases of the selection processes of the Vila-seca City Council, initially approved by the Plenary in the session of May 27, 2022 (Exp. 4317110007-2022-0001211) and published in the BOPT on July 7, 2022, with CVE-202205826. The position, identified with job code 5, is assigned as vacant and is filled under the civil servant regime, with a status of secondment (commission of services).

Additionally, the holder must assume the immediate legal advisory for the Information Commission of General Services, Security and Civility, the legal advisory for the Local Police, and the administrative coordination of the Local Security Board and the municipal Civil Protection Commission.

Applications are submitted by electronic means to the municipal electronic office within a non-extendable period of twenty calendar days, counted from the day after the publication of the call in the BOPT.

Merit competition and evaluation commission

The provision procedure is a merit competition, with a total score of 100 points distributed as follows:

• Services provided in any public administration as a civil servant of subgroup A1: up to 40 points (0.20 points per full month).
• Functions exercised in general secretariats or equivalents: up to 35 points (0.15 points per full month).
• Consolidated personal grade: up to 20 points (20 points for levels 26 to 30 and 10 points for levels 20 to 25).
• Training and professional development courses: 5 points.

The Evaluation Commission shall be collegiate and composed of a president, a secretary, and three members, with principals and substitutes, and must respect the principles of impartiality and professionalism and strive for parity between women and men. The commission will propose only the candidate with the highest score.

Publicity and appeals

The full rules and the call for applications are published on the notice board of the electronic headquarters of the Vila-seca City Council, and an extract will be disseminated in the Official Gazette of the Generalitat de Catalunya (DOGC) and the Official State Gazette (BOE). An appeal for reversal may be filed against the call within one month before the Mayor’s Office or, directly, a contentious-administrative appeal within two months before the contentious-administrative court of Tarragona.

The filling of this position is relevant because it defines the administrative direction of an area that concentrates governance, internal regime, municipal management, social services, equality, and health, and because the process is open to career civil servants from any public administration, which expands the range of candidacies beyond the council itself.
