5 General Services Positions at UPNA and Court of Accounts: 2026 Call

Key data

UPNA activates the open competition route to fill 5 General Services positions level D that could not be filled through internal transfer competition. The call, published on 22 October 2026 in the BOE (reference BOE-A-2026-22004), opens the door to external candidates with a very accessible minimum qualification: the Certificate of Schooling or equivalent.

What is relevant for those seeking public employment in Navarra is that the selective process is common to UPNA and the Court of Accounts, two institutions that have articulated this joint call through an inter-administrative collaboration agreement. This means that with a single application you can apply for positions in both bodies.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution convenes selective tests in open competition for the provision of General Services positions of level D —the most basic entry level in the civil service scale— in two Navarrese public bodies. The call is issued because the positions remained vacant after previous transfer competition processes between active civil servants failed.

The essential elements of the call are as follows:

The fact that the process is common to both institutions is a relevant operational innovation: UPNA acts as the main convening body and the Court of Accounts joins through an agreement, which optimizes resources and simplifies management for applicants.

Economic and operational impact

For applicants, this call represents an opportunity to access stable public employment in Navarra with a minimum academic requirement (Certificate of Schooling), which considerably expands the universe of potential candidates.

For the convening institutions, the resolution has a clear operational impact:

• UPNA: fills 4 General Services vacancies that have been unfilled since at least one previous unfilled transfer call, meaning these positions have been vacant for an extended period.
• Court of Accounts: outsources the management of the selective process to UPNA through an agreement, reducing its own administrative costs.
• Temporary employment pool: applicants who pass some phase but do not obtain a position will remain in an active pool, facilitating coverage of future temporary needs in both bodies.

From the perspective of the Navarrese public labor market, the opening to open competition —rather than reserving positions for internal civil servants— indicates that there were not enough internal candidates or candidates with the appropriate profile to fill these positions through mobility.

Who does it affect?

• People seeking public employment in Navarra with basic qualification (Certificate of Schooling or equivalent) and who have not reached mandatory retirement age.
• Active civil service exam candidates who already participate in other selective processes in the Navarrese autonomous sphere and want to expand their options.
• Temporary workers at UPNA or the Court of Accounts who want to consolidate their situation by accessing a permanent position.
• Public employment advisors and civil service exam academies in Navarra, who must inform their students of this call and its deadline.
• HR departments of UPNA and the Court of Accounts, which must manage the process and the subsequent temporary employment pool.

Practical example

Imagine you are a resident of Navarra, you have the Certificate of Schooling and have been working as service personnel in the private sector for several years. This call allows you to take the selective tests of UPNA without needing any additional qualification.

The process is the same whether you aspire to one of the 4 UPNA positions or the 1 Court of Accounts position: you submit a single application within the 20 calendar days from 22 October 2026 (deadline approximately 11 November 2026), you participate in the common selective tests and, if you do not obtain a position but pass some phase, you are integrated into the temporary employment pool of both institutions, which opens the door to temporary contracts while you wait for a new call for permanent positions.

What should interested parties do now?

1. Verify compliance with requirements: check that you have the Certificate of Schooling (or equivalent) and that you have not reached mandatory retirement age before submitting your application.
2. Calculate the application deadline: the deadline is 20 calendar days from 22 October 2026. This places the closing approximately on 11 November 2026. Submit your application in advance to avoid last-minute technical or administrative issues.
3. Consult the complete bases of the call: access the full text published in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-22004) to know the exact content of the tests, required documentation and application submission procedure.
4. Prepare the documentation: gather your academic title or certificate, ID and any other document that the bases require to accredit participation requirements.
5. Assess the temporary employment pool: even if you do not obtain a position, participating in the process allows you to join the temporary employment pool of UPNA and the Court of Accounts, which can generate employment opportunities in the short term.
