Villanueva de la Serena calls for two interim positions for Administrative and Auxiliary staff

The City Council of Villanueva de la Serena has announced selective tests for the interim provision of one Administrative position and one Administrative Assistant position, temporarily vacant in its civil service staff. The call, approved by mayoral resolution, is published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Badajoz number 173, dated September 10, 2026, under announcement 3548/2026.

The process is handled through a competitive examination system, in the open category, and interested parties will have a period of seven calendar days to submit their application, counting from the day following the publication of the announcement in the provincial gazette. The call is governed by Royal Legislative Decree 5/2015, the Basic Statute of Public Employees, and the local regime and entry regulations of the Autonomous Community of Extremadura.

Vacancies and Remuneration

The two positions belong to the General Administration scale, Administrative sub-scale, and are endowed with the basic remuneration of their subgroup plus the supplements assigned to each post:

• Administrative (subgroup C1): destination supplement level 22 and a specific supplement of 6,583.93 euros.
• Administrative Assistant (subgroup C2): destination supplement level 18 and a specific supplement of 6,090.75 euros.

Appointment entails assignment to the corresponding workstations, and the termination of interim officials will occur, among other causes, when the permanent holders return.

Requirements and Submission of Applications

To participate, it is necessary to meet the general conditions for access to public employment and the qualification required for each position:

• For Administrative: High School Diploma (Bachiller) or Technician, or equivalent degree (group C1).
• For Administrative Assistant: Compulsory Secondary Education graduate or equivalent (group C2).

Applications, addressed to the mayor, shall be submitted at the general registry of the City Council or through the channels of article 16.4 of Law 39/2015, and the examination fees must be paid: 20 euros for Administrative and 10 euros for Administrative Assistant, via deposit into the ABANCA account indicated in the rules.

Selection Process

The competitive examination consists of two mandatory exercises:

• First exercise (theoretical): a multiple-choice questionnaire of 100 questions, plus 10 reserve questions, with a duration of 130 minutes and a minimum grade of 5 points.
• Second exercise (practical): written development of 3 general questions, chosen from 5 proposed by the Tribunal, in a maximum of 2 hours.

The qualifying tribunals will be composed of a presidency, three members, and a secretariat, with one member representing the Autonomous Community of Extremadura, and they will ensure the impartiality and anonymity of the applicants. A job bank will be created for future calls for those approved candidates who do not obtain a position.

The call, signed by the Acting General Secretary, Amelia Parejo Rodríguez, represents an opportunity for those seeking public employment in the region of La Serena, with two positions for access to the local public service and an agile process consisting of only two exercises.
