The competitive examination system combines an examination phase (eliminatory knowledge tests) with a competition phase (merit evaluation: experience, training, etc.).

It is essential to consult those bases before preparing your application.
Economic and operational impact
For the Barakaldo City Council, filling this position means incorporating a Senior-level healthcare professional into its Special Administration staff, with the budgetary implications inherent to a position of this nature in the Basque Country Local Administration.
For candidates, access to a Senior Class civil service position in a city council like Barakaldo implies job stability, remuneration linked to the salary tables of the City Council's collective agreement and the benefits inherent to public employment (seniority bonuses, supplements, administrative career progression).
Open competition is relevant from a competitive standpoint: there is no reservation for internal promotion or for temporary staff of the City Council itself, which opens the call to the maximum number of external applicants and increases the level of competition.
Who does it affect?
- Active doctors or those seeking public employment who wish to consolidate their position in the Basque Country Local Administration.
- Temporary or interim doctors from the Barakaldo City Council itself who want to stabilize their position via competitive examination in open competition.
- Applicants for public healthcare employment who are preparing for Local Administration calls in the Basque Country.
- HR managers of healthcare entities who need to know about public employment offers in the Bizkaia area.
- Labor advisors and competitive exam academies who guide candidates in Local Administration selection processes.

A doctor with several years of experience in primary care and postgraduate training who wants to access public local employment in Bizkaia must act quickly. The 20 working days deadline from November 3, 2026 is the available margin to prepare and submit the application.
