The Ministry of Culture is offering 382 fixed labor positions in a call published on July 9, 2026 in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-14911). The Under-Secretariat Resolution activates the public employment offers from 2023 and 2024 under the umbrella of the IV Single Collective Agreement of the General State Administration. The deadline for registration is 20 business days and registration is mandatory electronic. Those who do not act in time lose the opportunity until the next call.
What does this regulation establish?
The Resolution calls a selective process of open access and internal promotion to fill fixed labor positions in five professional groups of the IV Single Collective Agreement of the AGE. The positions cover very diverse specialties, from technical-scientific profiles to cultural trades and public service roles.
Professional groups called
| Professional group | Qualification level |
|---|---|
| M3 | Superior (equivalent to higher university degree) |
| M2 | Medium (equivalent to medium university degree) |
| M1 | Basic university |
| E2 | Specialist technician / Higher vocational training |
| E1 | Technician / Medium vocational training or equivalent |
Specialties included in the call
- Biology
- Physics
- Conservation of cultural assets
- Choir singers
- Tour guides
- Lighting technicians
- Sound technicians
- Museum room attendants
The complete rules, with the exact breakdown of positions by specialty and group, will be published on cultura.gob.es. Registration is carried out exclusively through form 790 available on administracion.gob.es.
Economic and operational impact
For candidates, the most relevant impact is the job stability that comes with a fixed labor position in the General State Administration: indefinite contract, remuneration regulated by the IV Single Collective Agreement and full career development rights.
For cultural organizations and HR departments in the public sector, this call means filling vacancies that, in many cases, have gone unfilled for years due to OEP 2023 and 2024 restrictions. The incorporation of specialized technical profiles (conservation, sound, lighting, biology) strengthens the operational capacity of museums, theaters and cultural centers dependent on the Ministry.
The direct cost for the candidate is the registration fee associated with form 790, the exact amount of which is shown in the rules published on cultura.gob.es. Failure to submit the application on time results in automatic exclusion from the process, with no possibility of correction afterwards.
Who does it affect?
- Citizens in general who wish to access fixed public employment at the Ministry of Culture through open competition (187 positions available).
- AGE labor public employees who meet internal promotion requirements (180 positions + 15 reserved for intellectual disability).
- People with intellectual disabilities who are in internal promotion status, with 15 positions specifically reserved.
- Professionals in cultural and technical fields: biologists, physicists, conservators, choir singers, tour guides, lighting and sound technicians, and museum attendance staff.
- HR advisors and public employment consultancies that manage selective processes for their clients.
Practical example
Imagine you are a sound technician and have been working as temporary staff in a theater dependent on the Ministry of Culture for several years. This call opens the path of internal promotion to consolidate your position as fixed labor personnel, within the professional group corresponding to your specialty (E2 or E1 depending on qualifications).
The process would be as follows:
- You access administracion.gob.es and complete form 790 before the 20 business day deadline expires from July 9, 2026.
- You consult the complete rules on cultura.gob.es to verify the specific requirements for your specialty and professional group.
- You submit the electronic application with the required documentation and proof of payment of the fee (form 790).
- You participate in the selective process according to the tests established in the rules for the internal promotion round.
If instead you access through open competition as a biologist or physicist, the procedure is identical, but you compete in the block of 187 open access positions, without needing to be a previous public employee.
What should candidates do now?
- Calculate the registration deadline: the 20 business day period starts on July 9, 2026. Identify the exact deadline by counting business days (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays).
- Check the complete rules on cultura.gob.es: verify the qualification, experience and documentation requirements for your specialty and professional group (M3, M2, M1, E2 or E1).
- Prepare electronic registration: access administracion.gob.es, locate form 790 and have your digital certificate or Cl@ve ready to complete the process.
- Pay the fee: form 790 includes payment of the registration fee. Keep the receipt as part of your application.
- Verify the correct round: if you are an AGE public employee, check if you meet the internal promotion requirements (180 positions) or if you must compete through open competition (187 positions).
- Stay alert for the resolution of admitted candidates: once the deadline closes, the Ministry will publish provisional lists of admitted and excluded candidates. Review your status and submit objections if you detect errors.
