Administrative Assistant Position at UNIA (Málaga): Requirements, Deadlines and How to Apply in 2026

Key data

The International University of Andalusia opens an opportunity for access to university public employment in Málaga with an Administrative Assistant position classified in subgroup C2. The call, published in the BOE of July 8, 2026, is based on the Public Employment Offer of 2024 and has prior authorization from the Junta de Andalucía.

The process is structured as a competitive examination in open competition, which means that any candidate who meets the minimum requirements can participate, without reserved positions for internal promotion. The process management is entirely digital: from the application to official communications.

What does this call establish?

The resolution regulates the selection process to fill a position in the Administrative Assistant Scale of UNIA, assigned to the Technological Headquarters in Málaga. The key aspects are as follows:

The minimum requirements to participate are:

• Secondary Education Certificate (ESO) or equivalent.
• Spanish nationality or nationality of a Member State of the European Union (or equivalent cases).
• Not to have been dismissed from any Public Administration through disciplinary proceedings.

A critical point of the procedure: merits for the competition phase must be submitted at the same time as submitting the application. The call does not allow adding them in a later phase, which requires preparing all supporting documentation before sending the application.

Economic and operational impact

For the candidate, accessing a subgroup C2 position in a public university means joining a salary scale regulated by the collective agreement for labor personnel or the corresponding civil service regime, with the stability and benefits inherent to public employment (seniority bonuses, supplements, administrative career).

From an operational perspective, the aspects that most condition participation are:

• Very tight deadline: 15 business days from July 8, 2026. Depending on the work calendar, the deadline ends approximately at the end of July 2026. It is essential to act from day one.
• Irrecoverable merit documentation: If a candidate forgets to attach any merit (training, experience, languages), they will not be able to correct it later. The loss of points in the competition phase can be decisive in a call with only one position.
• 100% digital management: It is necessary to have a digital certificate or Cl@ve to access UNIA's electronic headquarters and complete the application.

Who does it affect?

• People with a Secondary Education Certificate or equivalent seeking stable public employment in Málaga.
• Candidates with administrative experience who want to consolidate their position in the public university sector.
• People with Spanish or EU nationality who have not been dismissed from public service through disciplinary proceedings.
• Applicants who already have their documented merits prepared (training, experience, certificates) and can submit them immediately.
• Administrative professionals in Andalusia interested in UNIA's Málaga headquarters.

Practical example

Imagine you are a person with a Secondary Education Certificate, several years of experience in administrative tasks in the private sector, and a B2 level English certificate. This call directly affects you.

The process would be as follows:

1. You access UNIA's electronic headquarters with your digital certificate or Cl@ve before the 15 business day deadline from July 8, 2026 expires.
2. You fill out the participation application and attach at that same moment all documents that prove your merits: employment contract that justifies experience, English certificate diploma, training course certificates, etc.
3. Once the deadline closes, the panel evaluates the examination phase and, subsequently, the competition phase with the submitted merits.
4. All communications (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results) are published on the TOUNIA (Official Board of UNIA). The final appointment will appear in the BOUNIA.

If you forgot to attach, for example, the English certificate at the time of application, that merit could not be evaluated in the competition phase. In a call with only one position, that difference in points can be decisive.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify minimum requirements immediately: Check that you have the Secondary Education Certificate or equivalent, the required nationality, and that there is no disqualification for the exercise of public functions.
2. Gather all merit documentation before submitting the application: Professional experience (contracts, company certificates), additional training (diplomas, certificates), languages, and any other valuable merit. There is no possibility to add them later.
3. Obtain or renew your digital certificate or Cl@ve: Submission is exclusively online through UNIA's electronic headquarters. Without valid digital identification, it is not possible to participate.
4. Calculate the exact deadline: The 15 business day deadline starts on July 8, 2026. Deduct local and national holidays to avoid reaching the limit in a rush.
5. Activate alerts on TOUNIA: All process communications (admission, exam dates, results) will be published on the Official Board of UNIA. The final appointment will appear in BOUNIA. It is advisable to review them periodically.
