Court Management Competition Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés 2026: positions with over €13,000 in allowances

Key data

Civil servants in the Administration of Justice in Asturias have a concrete opportunity for horizontal promotion with enhanced remuneration. The Resolution of August 24, 2026 from the Department of Treasury, Justice and European Affairs convenes a specific merit competition to fill specialized team management positions in the Judicial Offices of the three main Asturian judicial districts: Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés.

The context is relevant: these positions arise directly from the judicial reorganization resulting from the establishment of the Courts of First Instance in late 2025, which transformed the structure of judicial offices in Asturias and generated the need to fill coordination and team management positions.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution convenes a specific merit competition for the provision of specialized work positions, that is, positions with a defined profile that are not filled through the ordinary general competition system, but through a detailed assessment of specific competencies and experience.

The positions announced are for team management in the Judicial Offices of the judicial districts of Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés. The selection is based on the assessment of the following criteria:

• Procedural legal knowledge accredited by candidates.
• Experience in specific jurisdictional areas (civil, criminal, administrative, labor, etc.).
• Team management and coordination in judicial office environments.
• Handling of specific judicial computer applications of the procedural management system.

The positions belong to the following bodies of the Administration of Justice:

Regarding appeals against the resolution, the regulation establishes two channels:

• Administrative litigation appeal: two-month period from publication.
• Optional reconsideration appeal: one-month period from publication.

Economic and operational impact

The most relevant economic data for candidates is the specific allowance exceeding €13,000 annually. This remuneration allowance is added to the civil servant's base salary and corresponding seniority bonuses, which represents a significant increase in remuneration compared to an ordinary position in the same body.

From an operational perspective, the creation of these positions responds to a structural transformation of the Asturian judicial system: the establishment of the Courts of First Instance in late 2025 involved the merger and reorganization of courts, generating new work units that require internal coordination. The selected team managers will assume supervisory responsibilities, work distribution and liaison with judicial bodies.

For the Administration, filling these positions through specific competition—rather than by free appointment—ensures that those selected demonstrate real technical experience in the judicial environment, which reduces operational risk in high-workload offices such as those in Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés.

Who does it affect?

• Civil servants of the Court Procedure and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice in active service.
• Civil servants of the Judicial Assistance Body of the Administration of Justice in active service.
• Civil servants assigned or with the possibility of competing for positions in the judicial districts of Oviedo, Gijón and Avilés.
• Human resources managers of the Department of Treasury, Justice and European Affairs of the Principality of Asturias, responsible for managing the selection process.

It does not affect private companies or self-employed individuals. It is a call exclusively aimed at active civil servants from the mentioned bodies.

Practical example

A civil servant of the Court Procedure and Administrative Body currently assigned to the Court of First Instance of Oviedo, with accredited experience in the civil area and in handling the corresponding judicial computer application, may apply for the competition to opt for a team management position in the Judicial Office of Oviedo.

If selected, their remuneration will increase with a specific allowance exceeding €13,000 annually, which is added to their base salary and seniority bonuses. Additionally, they will assume team management functions, coordinating the distribution of cases and supervising the work of their staff within the framework of the new Court of First Instance established in late 2025.

If you disagree with any aspect of the competition resolution, you have one month to file a reconsideration appeal or two months to pursue administrative litigation, both periods counted from September 1, 2026.

What should civil servants do now?

1. Verify if you belong to the authorized bodies: only active civil servants of the Court Procedure and Administrative Body or the Judicial Assistance Body of the Administration of Justice may compete.
2. Review the assessment criteria: the selection weighs procedural legal knowledge, experience in specific jurisdictional areas, team management capacity and handling of judicial computer applications. Prepare the supporting documentation for each one.
3. Consult the complete call in the BOE to know the exact deadline for submitting applications, the official form and required documentation: BOE-A-2026-18388.
4. Identify your preferred judicial district (Oviedo, Gijón or Avilés) and ensure you meet the specific requirements for that position.
5. Act within the appeal deadlines if applicable: reconsideration appeal within one month or administrative litigation appeal within two months from September 1, 2026, if you believe the call violates any right.
