21 Administrative Assistant Positions at the University of Almería: Requirements, Fees and Deadlines

Key data

The University of Almería announces 21 career civil service positions in the Administrative Assistant Scale through open competitive examination, in execution of the Public Employment Offers of 2024, 2025 and 2026. The announcement is published through the Resolution of June 30, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-14723) and enters into force on the same day of its publication, July 7, 2026.

This is an opportunity to access university public service with a very short registration window: 20 calendar days from publication in the Official Bulletin of the Andalusian Regional Government (BOJA). Anyone who does not submit the application within the deadline is automatically excluded from the process.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces selective tests to fill 21 positions in the Administrative Assistant Scale of the University of Almería, classified in Subgroup C2 of the Spanish civil service. Access is through the general open access system via the competitive examination procedure.

The positions are part of the cumulative execution of the Public Employment Offers for the fiscal years 2024, 2025 and 2026, which explains the relatively high number of positions in a single announcement.

The requirements for participation are as follows:

• Nationality: Spanish or from a Member State of the European Union (or other cases provided for in civil service regulations).
• Qualifications: Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) diploma or equivalent.
• Age: at least 16 years old and not having reached mandatory retirement age.

The application must be submitted exclusively electronically through the UAL electronic office. Paper applications or submissions through other channels will not be accepted. The exam fee is 35 euros, with full exemption for persons with disability equal to or greater than 33% and for victims of terrorism.

The selective tests will not begin before September 1, 2026, which provides a preparation period of at least two months from the close of the registration deadline.

Economic and operational impact

From the candidate's perspective, the direct cost of participating in this selective process is low: 35 euros exam fee, with exemption for groups with recognized disability (equal to or greater than 33%) and victims of terrorism. No other mandatory costs are expected in the registration phase.

From the University of Almería's perspective, this announcement represents the coverage of administrative personnel needs accumulated over three budget years (2024, 2025 and 2026), reflecting a commitment to consolidate staff in Subgroup C2.

For selected candidates, the positions imply access to the status of career civil servant, with job stability, remuneration rights and social protection inherent to university public employment in Andalusia.

Who does it affect?

• Persons wishing to access university public service at the University of Almería as career civil servants.
• Spanish or EU citizens with ESO diploma or equivalent and between 16 years old and mandatory retirement age.
• Persons with recognized disability equal to or greater than 33%, who have 1 of the 21 positions reserved and are exempt from paying the fee.
• Victims of terrorism, who are also exempt from paying the exam fee.
• Labor advisors and human resources managers who advise candidates on university public employment processes in Andalusia.

Practical example

A 28-year-old person with an ESO diploma, Spanish nationality and no recognized disability decides to apply for this announcement. The process they must follow is as follows:

1. Accesses the UAL electronic office within the 20 calendar days from publication of the announcement in the BOJA (reference date: July 7, 2026).
2. Completes the application electronically and pays the 35 euro fee.
3. Waits for publication of the lists of admitted candidates and the specific date of the tests, which will not be held before September 1, 2026.
4. If they pass the competitive examination process, they gain access to a career civil service position in the Administrative Assistant Scale (Subgroup C2) of the UAL.

If that same person had a recognized disability of 40%, they could apply for the position reserved for persons with disability and would be exempt from paying the 35 euros fee.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify the exact deadline in the BOJA: the 20-day calendar period is counted from publication in the Official Bulletin of the Andalusian Regional Government, not from the BOE. Confirm the publication date in the BOJA to calculate the last day of registration.
2. Prepare documentation and electronic signature: the application is exclusively electronic through the UAL office. Make sure you have a digital certificate or Cl@ve operational before the deadline expires.
3. Pay the 35 euro fee: unless you are a person with disability (equal to or greater than 33%) or a victim of terrorism, in which case the fee is exempt.
4. Prove the ESO diploma or equivalent: have the documentation ready that proves the minimum qualifications required for the requirements verification phase.
5. Plan preparation for September: the tests will not begin before September 1, 2026, leaving a preparation period of at least two months from the close of the application deadline.
