The University of Alcalá opens the door to 2 permanent public employment positions in the audiovisual field. These are permanent labor positions, Specialist Technician category, Audiovisual specialty, classified in group C, salary level C1. The call was published in the BOE on July 16, 2026, the date from which all deadlines for the process are calculated.
The chosen system is competitive examination, with two differentiated rounds: internal promotion (for employees of the university itself) and open access (for external candidates). Positions not filled by the internal promotion round are automatically accumulated to the open round, maximizing coverage opportunities.
What does this call establish?
The resolution regulates the selective process to fill the 2 Audiovisual Specialist Technician positions at UAH. The key aspects are as follows:
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Type of position | Permanent labor position |
| Specialty | Audiovisual |
| Classification group | Group C |
| Salary level | C1 |
| Selection system | Competitive examination |
| Internal promotion round | Yes, with priority over the open round |

| Minimum qualification | High School Diploma or Higher Vocational Training |

| Accommodations for disability | Available for applicants with disability equal to or greater than 33% |
| Start of deadline calculation | July 16, 2026 (date of publication in BOE) |
The fact that professional experience can replace academic qualification is a relevant element: those with 4 or more years of work in the audiovisual sector can apply even if they do not have a High School Diploma or Higher Vocational Training.
Economic and operational impact
From the candidate's perspective, the positions offer job stability as permanent staff of a public university, with the remuneration conditions associated with group C, level C1 of the collective agreement for labor personnel in public universities.
For the University of Alcalá, filling these positions means consolidating technical capabilities in audiovisual production and management, an increasingly strategic area in the university environment (class recording, events, institutional communication, digital platforms).
The competitive examination system means that selection combines an examination phase (knowledge tests and/or practical exercises) with a competition phase (merit assessment: experience, training, etc.). The exact weighting of each phase will be detailed in the specific bases of the call.
Who does it affect?
- People with High School Diploma or Higher Vocational Training interested in public employment in the audiovisual field.
- Audiovisual sector professionals with 4 or more years of accredited experience, even if they do not have the required academic qualification.
- Current labor personnel of the University of Alcalá who meet the requirements and want to apply for the internal promotion round.
- People with disability equal to or greater than 33% who can request accommodations in the selective tests.
- Audiovisual technicians, camera operators, sound and lighting technicians, video editors and similar profiles in the sector.
Practical example
A freelance audiovisual technician with 6 years of experience in corporate video production and events, but without a High School Diploma or Higher Vocational Training degree, can apply to the open round of this call. By exceeding the 4 years of accredited experience in the audiovisual field, they meet the alternative access requirement to academic qualification.
If one of the 2 positions is not filled in the internal promotion round (for example, because no internal employee passes the tests or there are not enough internal candidates), that position automatically passes to the open round, increasing options for external candidates.
On the other hand, a UAH employee in another category who has been working in the audiovisual field for years can apply to the internal promotion round, thus consolidating their position at the university with a permanent position in a higher category.
