The Municipality of Cornellà de Llobregat opens 11 stable public employment positions in educational and childcare services. The call, published in the BOE on August 4, 2026, refers to the complete bases of the DOGC no. 9716 of July 27, 2026 for all details on requirements, syllabi and scoring criteria.
The selection system is competitive examination in open competition, which implies an examination phase (tests) and a competition phase (merits). All positions are permanent: some as permanent staff and some as civil servants of Special Administration.
What does this call establish?
The resolution convenes three different types of positions, with different legal nature and number of vacancies. Below is the complete breakdown:
| Position category | Number of positions | Nature |
|---|---|---|
| Early Childhood Educator (civil servant) | 6 | Civil servant — Special Administration |
| Early Childhood Educator (staff) | 1 | Permanent staff |
| Specialized Educator | 2 | Permanent staff |

The complete bases —including qualification requirements, syllabi, scoring criteria for the competition phase and application form— were published in the DOGC no. 9716 of July 27, 2026. It is essential to consult that document to know the exact conditions of each position, as they may differ between categories.
Open competition means that anyone who meets the requirements can apply, without prior reservation for internal promotion or specific groups.
Operational impact and professional opportunity
This call responds to real needs of the educational and childcare services of the Barcelona municipality. The 11 positions are permanent, which implies long-term job stability for those who obtain them.
- 7 Early Childhood Educator positions: the majority of the call. 6 of them have civil servant status (Special Administration), with the guarantees and remuneration regime of Catalan local civil servants. 1 is permanent staff.
- 2 Specialized Educator positions: profile oriented to care for minors with specific needs or in vulnerable situations, as permanent staff.
- 2 Childcare Assistant positions: support category in early childhood education settings, also as permanent staff.
The open competition call opens the door to candidates external to the municipality, which significantly expands the universe of potential applicants in the Barcelona metropolitan area.
Who does it affect?
- People with qualifications in early childhood education, social education or related disciplines seeking stable public employment in the Barcelona area.
- Social educators or specialists with experience in childcare for vulnerable populations.
- Auxiliaries and assistants in early childhood education centers who want to consolidate their employment situation in the public sector.
- Candidates residing in Cornellà de Llobregat or municipalities in Baix Llobregat interested in local public employment.
- Private sector professionals who value the stability of public employment over private sector precariousness.
Practical example
An early childhood educator with a qualification in Higher Technician in Early Childhood Education and three years of experience in a private nursery school in Baix Llobregat can apply for the 6 civil servant Early Childhood Educator positions and the 1 permanent staff position in the same category, provided they meet the qualification requirements set by the DOGC no. 9716 bases.
In the competition phase, their three years of experience in the sector could count as merit according to the scoring criteria established in the bases. The deadline for submitting the application expires at 20 business days from July 27, 2026, so they must act quickly to gather and submit the required documentation.
If they obtain one of the civil servant positions, they will be integrated into the Special Administration of the Municipality of Cornellà with the remuneration conditions and stability of local civil servants.
What should applicants do now?
- Consult the complete bases in DOGC no. 9716 (July 27, 2026): this is the document that sets the qualification requirements, experience, syllabus and merit scoring for each of the three position categories.
- Calculate the exact submission deadline: the deadline is 20 business days from July 27, 2026. Subtract local and national holidays to avoid missing the deadline.
- Prepare supporting documentation: qualifications, professional experience, complementary training and any other merit that can score in the competition phase according to the scoring criteria in the bases.
- Verify the official application form: the DOGC bases will indicate the form and submission channel (in-person, electronic headquarters of the Municipality of Cornellà, etc.).
- Identify the correct category: the three categories (Early Childhood Educator, Specialized Educator and Childcare Assistant) may have different qualification requirements. Make sure you apply for the one that matches your profile.
