Key data

The Ministry of Health announces 8 fixed-term labor positions within the framework of the Public Employment Offers for 2023 and 2024, published through the Resolution of July 3, 2026 from the Undersecretary (BOE-A-2026-14792). This is a limited call, with very specific profiles and an application deadline that begins on the same day of publication.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces a selection process for admission as fixed-term labor personnel in the Ministry of Health, under two access modalities: open competition and internal promotion. The positions are distributed between two professional groups of the IV Single Collective Agreement for labor personnel of the General State Administration:

The call is part of the Public Employment Offers for 2023 and 2024, which indicates that these positions have been pending coverage for some time. The applicable regulation is the IV Single Collective Agreement for labor personnel of the General State Administration, which regulates the working conditions of these groups.

Regarding equality, the call applies the principle of gender equality in accordance with Organic Law 3/2007. The complete bases are published on the Ministry of Health website and on the Funciona Portal, which is the official human resources channel of the AGE.

Economic and operational impact

For applicants, obtaining one of these positions means accessing a fixed job in the General State Administration, with the remuneration and stability conditions established by the IV Single Collective Agreement. The resolution does not publish specific salary amounts, which are governed by the agreement's tables.

From an operational perspective, the critical aspects are:

• Tight deadline: 20 business days from July 8, 2026. In summer, with holidays and vacation periods, this deadline can be shortened in practice.
• Exclusively electronic submission: Paper applications are not accepted. It is essential to have a digital certificate or cl@ve to complete form 790.
• Dual access route: Both external applicants (open competition) and public employees who meet requirements (internal promotion) can apply.
• Position reserve for disability: 1 of the 2 Psychology positions and 1 of the 6 Maintenance positions are reserved for people with recognized disabilities.

Who does it affect?

• Psychologists who aspire to a fixed-term labor position in the General State Administration (group M3).
• General maintenance technicians and operators seeking job stability in the public sector (group M1).
• Labor personnel already employed in the AGE who wish to access these professional groups in the Ministry of Health through internal promotion.
• People with recognized disabilities who meet the requirements of the announced profiles, given that there is a specific reserve of 1 position per group.
• HR advisors and personnel managers in public organizations who must inform their teams about this call.

Practical example

A psychologist with experience in the private sector who wants to access a fixed position in the Administration can apply to the open competition of group M3. She has 20 business days from July 8, 2026 to do so. The process is:

1. Access the Ministry of Health website or the Funciona Portal to download the complete bases of the call.
2. Complete form 790 electronically (requires digital certificate or cl@ve).
3. Submit the application within the deadline. If the deadline falls in August, she must take into account that business days exclude national and local holidays.
4. If she has a recognized disability, she can apply for the reserved position within group M3 (1 of the 2 total positions).

A maintenance technician who already works in the AGE can apply through internal promotion to group M1, competing in a differentiated round from open access.

What should applicants do now?

1. Consult the complete bases on the official Ministry of Health website and on the Funciona Portal before submitting the application. The bases contain the specific requirements for each professional group.
2. Verify compliance with requirements for the group you aspire to: M3 (Psychology) or M1 (General Maintenance), and for the chosen route (open competition or internal promotion).
3. Prepare the digital certificate or cl@ve in advance, as the application is submitted exclusively by electronic means via form 790. Without valid digital identification it is not possible to process the application.
4. Calculate the actual deadline: 20 business days from July 8, 2026. Identify the exact deadline date taking into account national and local holidays during the summer period.
5. Assess the disability reserve: if you have a recognized disability, check if you meet the requirements to apply for the reserved position in the corresponding group.
6. Follow updates of the call in the BOE and on the Funciona Portal, where lists of admitted applicants, exam dates and other communications of the selection process will be published.
