The University of Almería announces 12 career civil servant positions in the Technical Assistant Scale (Subgroup C2) through the general free access system. The announcement, published on July 7, 2026 through the Resolution of June 30, 2026, executes the Public Employment Offers (OPE) for the years 2024, 2025 and 2026 on an accumulated basis.
The selection process is a free competitive examination, which means that any citizen who meets the requirements can apply, without needing to be previously linked to the university administration.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution announces selective tests to fill 12 career civil servant positions in the Technical Assistant Scale of the University of Almería, classified in Subgroup C2 of the public employee classification system. This subgroup corresponds to positions that require Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) or equivalent qualification.
The key aspects of the process are as follows:
| Aspect | Detail |
|---|---|
| Selection system | Competitive examination, general free access system |
| Total positions | 12 (11 free access + 1 reserved for disability ≥ 33%) |
| Subgroup | C2 |
| Required qualification | Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) title or equivalent |
| Nationality | Spanish or from a Member State of the European Union |
| Application method | Exclusively electronic, through the UAL electronic office |
| Exam fee | €35 (exempt: persons with disabilities and victims of terrorism) |
| Start of tests | No earlier than September 1, 2026 |
| OPE executed | 2024, 2025 and 2026 |
In addition to qualification and nationality requirements, candidates must not have been separated from public service by disciplinary proceedings in any administration. This requirement is mandatory in all public employment announcements.
Economic and operational impact
For candidates, the direct cost of participating in this announcement is €35 as an exam fee. This amount is exempt for two groups: persons with a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33% and victims of terrorism.
From an operational perspective, the most critical aspect is the application deadline: 20 calendar days from publication in the Official Bulletin of the Andalusian Regional Government (BOJA). Since the resolution was published in the BOE on July 7, 2026, candidates should be aware of the publication date in the BOJA to avoid missing the deadline.
The accumulation of three OPEs (2024, 2025 and 2026) in a single announcement explains the volume of 12 positions. This represents a concentrated opportunity to access public university employment in Almería, as it is not common for so many positions of the same body to be announced in a single process.
Who does it affect?
- Spanish citizens or EU nationals who wish to access as career civil servants at the University of Almería.
- Persons with ESO or equivalent qualification (Subgroup C2) seeking stability in public employment.
- Candidates with a degree of disability equal to or greater than 33%, who have 1 of the 12 positions reserved and are exempt from the exam fee.
- Victims of terrorism, who are also exempt from paying the €35 fee.
- Persons already working at UAL on a temporary basis who wish to consolidate their position as career civil servants.
Practical example
A person with Spanish nationality, qualified in ESO and with no history of separation from public service, decides to apply for this announcement. The steps they must follow are:
- Access the UAL electronic office within the 20 calendar day deadline from publication in the BOJA.
- Complete the participation application exclusively through electronic means (paper applications are not accepted).
- Pay the €35 fee at the time of application. If they had a disability degree of 40%, they would be exempt from this payment and should prove it with documentation.
- Prepare for the tests, which will not begin before September 1, 2026, leaving preparation time during the summer.
If this person obtains a position in the free access round, they would access a career civil servant position in Subgroup C2 of the University of Almería, with the job stability that entails.
What should candidates do now?
- Verify the publication date in the BOJA: the 20 calendar day deadline runs from that date, not from the BOE date (July 7, 2026). Check the exact date in the Official Bulletin of the Andalusian Regional Government.
- Access the UAL electronic office and locate the application form for this announcement before the deadline expires.
- Prepare supporting documentation: ESO title or equivalent, ID or EU citizenship documentation, and where applicable, disability certificate (≥ 33%) or accreditation as a victim of terrorism for fee exemption.
- Pay the €35 fee at the time of electronic application, unless you are entitled to exemption.
- Plan your preparation for the tests, keeping in mind that exams will not begin before September 1, 2026.
