139 Administrative Assistant Positions at Cabildo de Tenerife: Deadline and Requirements 2026

Key data

The Cabildo Insular de Tenerife launches one of the institution's most extensive public employment provision processes in 2026: 139 Administrative Assistant positions will be filled through a merit-based competition, without an examination phase. The announcement was published in the BOE on September 28, 2026 (reference BOE-A-2026-20041), although the regulatory bases had already been published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, no. 114, of September 23, 2026.

The merit-based competition system means that selection is based exclusively on the evaluation of merits accredited by each candidate: experience, training, and other criteria included in the merit scale of the regulations. There is no examination or elimination test.

What does this announcement establish?

The resolution of the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife announces the provision of 139 job positions in the category of Administrative Assistant, classified in the General Administration scale, Assistant subscale. The chosen system is merit-based competition, which means there is no examination phase: the allocation of positions is determined solely by the score obtained in the merit scale.

The key elements of the announcement are as follows:

• Positions: 139 Administrative Assistant positions.
• Selection system: Merit-based competition (without examination).
• Scale: General Administration, Assistant subscale.
• Regulatory bases: Published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, no. 114, of September 23, 2026. They detail the participation requirements, the merit scale, and the required documentation.
• Application deadline: 15 business days counted from the day following publication in the BOE (that is, from September 29, 2026).
• Subsequent announcements: Process announcements (lists of admitted candidates, resolution, etc.) will be published as provided in the announcement's own regulations.

To learn about the merit scale, participation requirements, and required documentation, it is essential to consult the regulations in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, no. 114, of September 23, 2026.

Operational impact for candidates and HR managers

For active civil servants who aspire to improve their position or consolidate their status, this competition represents a direct opportunity: 139 positions is a significant volume for an institution the size of the Cabildo de Tenerife.

For the HR departments of the Cabildo, managing a process with 139 positions involves significant administrative burden: merit review, resolution of claims, and communication of results. The process timelines will be determined by the regulations published in the provincial bulletin.

For external applicants or civil servants from other administrations, access depends on the specific requirements included in the regulations: it is essential to verify whether the announcement is open to personnel from other administrations or only to civil servants of the Cabildo itself.

Who does it affect?

• Civil servants of the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife who want to participate in the merit-based competition to fill one of the 139 positions.
• Civil servants from other public administrations who meet the requirements established in the regulations to participate in the competition.
• Applicants for public employment interested in joining the Cabildo de Tenerife in the Administrative Assistant category.
• Human Resources departments of the Cabildo Insular de Tenerife, responsible for managing the selection process.
• Advisors and public employment managers who assist candidates in preparing and submitting applications.
