Villarrobledo announces five permanent caregiver positions with a job bank

The Local Governing Board of the Villarrobledo City Council approved on October 15, 2026, the guidelines to fill five permanent positions for Multipurpose Caregiver/Facilitator, assigned to the council’s labor personnel. The call for applications is published in full in the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete, number 132, dated November 13, 2026, on pages 31 to 38, under announcement code 30.019.

Positions, working hours, and contract model

The five positions are vacant within the municipal labor staff and originate from the 2025 Public Employment Offer. The selection system will be a competitive examination-contest (concurso-oposición) and the contract will be indefinite, with the possibility of being formalized as a replacement contract linked to a partial retirement.

• One full-time position and four part-time positions.
• Category C2 of the Job Classification List (RPT), position number 114.
• The assignment of the full-time position and the highest part-time percentage will be based on the highest score in the process.
• Remuneration in accordance with the municipal RPT for that category and position.

The requirements demanded as of the closing date include Spanish nationality—or that of other States under the terms of the law—, being at least 16 years old and not exceeding the maximum compulsory retirement age, as well as a negative certificate from the Central Registry of Sexual Offenders and not being disqualified by a final judgment.

Admitted qualifications and submission of applications

The guidelines allow several access routes, which expands the pool of candidates in a region with limited offers:

• Higher Technician or Degree in Early Childhood and Primary Education.
• Higher Technician in Socio-Sports Teaching and Animation.
• Higher Technician in Sociocultural and Tourism Animation.
• Nursery and Kindergarten Assistants.
• Leisure and Free Time Monitors with an ESO degree or equivalent, provable through professional certificates in free time facilitation or management, officially recognized and exceeding 100 hours.

The application is addressed to the Mayor-President and submitted to the General Registry of the Villarrobledo City Council or through any of the channels specified in Article 16 of Law 39/2015. The deadline is 20 business days from the day following the publication of the call announcement in the Official State Gazette, and must be accompanied by a copy of the ID or passport and the required qualification.

Two eliminatory exercises and merit scale

The competitive examination phase consists of two mandatory and eliminatory tests, with a maximum of 20 points: a multiple-choice questionnaire worth 10 points, with a penalty of one-third for each error and a minimum of 5 to pass, and a practical case study based on the syllabus in the annex, also with a threshold of 5 points. The program comprises 20 topics, five from the general section and fifteen from the specific section regarding children’s and youth leisure, health education, group dynamics, and first aid.

The merit phase, which is only evaluated for those who pass the competitive examination, distributes 5 points:

• Work experience with children and youth up to 14 years old: up to 3 points, with 0.02 points per month in public administrations and 0.01 per month in private companies.
• Diploma or Degree in Early Childhood or Primary Education: 1 point.
• Complementary training in childhood, leisure, equality, and related subjects: up to 1 point, depending on the duration of each course.

The Evaluating Board will have at least five permanent members with substitutes, all of whom must be career civil servants or permanent contractual staff, and its nominal composition will be announced in the resolution approving the provisional list of admitted candidates, which will be published in the Official Gazette of the Province of Albacete and on the municipal electronic office.

Job Bank and Appeals

The process will generate a job bank to cover temporary appointments. It will be composed first of those who pass both exercises, ordered by total score, and subsequently of those who pass at least the first one. The list will remain in effect until the approval of a new job bank and will be governed by the municipal regulations for job banks.

The rules, which exhaust the administrative route, may be challenged through an optional appeal for reversal before the Local Government Board within one month, or through a contentious-administrative appeal before the Contentious-Administrative Courts of Albacete within two months.

The call for applications arrives with the calendar still open: since the date of the exams is not set until the resolution of admitted candidates, interested parties have a margin that only begins to count when the announcement appears in the Official State Gazette. For a town that suffers from a scarcity of qualified employment offers, the consolidation of five permanent positions for child and youth care adds a stable labor niche, although four of the positions are created as part-time and their coverage depends on the outcome of the process.
