The announcement was resolved on July 27, 2026 and published in the BOE on August 3, 2026.

The application submission deadline starts on August 4, 2026 (the day after publication in the BOE) and extends for 20 working days. After that deadline, no new applications will be accepted.

What does this announcement establish?

The resolution from the Viladecans City Council announces a selection process to fill 12 positions on the General Administration scale, Administrative subscale. The chosen system is the competitive examination in open competition, which means that any citizen who meets the requirements can apply, without needing to be a previous public employee of the city council.

The key elements of the process are:

• Positions: 12 Administrative positions.
• Scale: General Administration, Administrative subscale.
• Selection system: Competitive examination (examination phase + merit competition phase).
• Competition: Open (access available to all applicants who meet requirements).
• Complete bases: Published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Barcelona (BOPB) on July 27, 2026. They include participation requirements, syllabus, process phases and evaluation criteria.
• Subsequent announcements: Announcements of process development (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, etc.) will be published as provided in the bases themselves.

To learn about the specific requirements for qualifications, age, nationality, syllabus and merit scoring, it is essential to consult the complete bases in the BOPB (Official Bulletin of the Province of Barcelona), published on July 27, 2026.

Economic and operational impact

For applicants, obtaining an Administrative position in a city council means joining the local public service with the compensation and stability conditions inherent to public employment. The specific compensation for the announced positions is not detailed in the resolution published in the BOE; to learn about it, you must consult the complete bases in the BOPB.

From an operational perspective, the aspects to consider are:

• The 20 working day deadline is strict: once closed, applications are not accepted outside the deadline.
• The process is in open competition, so you compete with all external applicants who meet the requirements.
• The competitive examination system means that, in addition to passing the examination phase exercises, merits (experience, training, etc.) will be evaluated in the competition phase. The weight of each phase is defined in the BOPB bases.
• Process announcements (admitted candidates, dates, results) will be published according to the bases, so it is advisable to monitor the official channels of the Viladecans City Council and the BOPB.

Who does this affect?

• People who wish to access public administrative employment at the Viladecans City Council (Barcelona).
• Competitive examination candidates and applicants for General Administration scale positions in Catalan local administration.
• Professionals with administrative experience who want to consolidate their position in the public sector.
• Citizens who are unemployed or seeking job stability in the public sector.
• Academies and competitive examination preparators working with candidates in the Barcelona metropolitan area.

Practical example

A candidate residing in the Barcelona metropolitan area, with a high school diploma or equivalent qualification (usual requirement for the Administrative subscale, to be confirmed in the BOPB bases), decides to apply for the 12 positions announced by Viladecans.

Their roadmap would be as follows:

1. Download the complete bases from the BOPB (published on July 27, 2026) to verify that you meet all qualification, nationality and other requirements.
2. Submit your application within the 20 working days from August 4, 2026, before the official deadline closes.
3. Prepare both the examination phase (theoretical and/or practical exercises according to the syllabus in the bases) and the competition phase (gather merit documentation: experience in public administration, training, etc.).
4. Periodically check the BOPB and the Viladecans City Council website to follow the process development (list of admitted candidates, exam date, results).

Since this involves 12 positions in open competition, competition can be high. The sooner merit documents are prepared and requirements verified, the better positioned the candidate will be.
