Getxo announces 59 public positions in 2026: deadlines, requirements and how to apply

Key data

The Getxo City Council puts into play 59 public employment positions distributed across two distinct profiles: Specialist Operator and Administrative. The announcement, resolved on July 7, 2026 and published in the BOE on July 18, activates the application submission deadline starting the next day, July 19, 2026. With a total of 20 business days to register, candidates must act quickly and consult the complete bases in BOB no. 43 of March 4, 2026.

What does this announcement establish?

The resolution announces positions in two distinct categories, each framed within a different scale of Local Administration:

The selection system is the competitive exam, which combines an examination phase (elimination tests) with a competition phase (merit evaluation). The specific requirements, syllabus and development of each phase are included in the bases published in the Official Bulletin of Bizkaia (BOB) no. 43 of March 4, 2026. It is essential to consult that document before submitting your application.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, accessing one of these positions means joining the Getxo municipal workforce with the remuneration conditions and stability inherent to local public employment in Bizkaia. The Administrative positions (General Administration) typically involve remuneration linked to the corresponding classification group according to the City Council's collective agreement, with associated position and specific supplements.

For the City Council itself, filling these 59 positions represents a significant strengthening of two key areas: special services (Specialist Operator) and internal administrative management. The reservation of 5 additional positions for persons with disabilities in the Administrative profile responds to the quota obligations established in public employment regulations.

From an operational perspective, candidates must keep in mind that the deadline is strict and non-extendable: 20 business days from July 19, 2026. Submitting the application outside the deadline implies automatic exclusion from the process.

Who does it affect?

• People who wish to access permanent public employment in the Getxo City Council (Bizkaia).
• Candidates for the Specialist Operator profile (Special Administration scale, Special Services subscale): 25 positions in open competition.
• Candidates for the Administrative profile (General Administration scale, Administrative subscale): 34 positions in open competition and 5 positions in the reserved quota for persons with disabilities.
• Persons with recognized disabilities who meet the requirements to apply for the reserved quota of 5 Administrative positions.
• Labor advisors and employment counselors who accompany candidates in competitive exam processes in the Basque Country.

Practical example

A person residing in Bizkaia interested in the Administrative profile must follow these specific steps based on the announcement:

1. Download and read the complete bases published in BOB no. 43 of March 4, 2026 to verify that you meet all requirements (qualifications, nationality, age, etc.).
2. Prepare the documentation required in the bases before the deadline starts.
3. Submit your application within the 20 business days counted from July 19, 2026 (the last business day falls approximately in mid-August 2026, excluding local and national holidays).
4. If you have recognized disability, you can apply to both open competition (34 positions) and the reserved quota (5 additional Administrative positions), according to what the bases establish.

A person applying for the Specialist Operator profile will follow the same process, but competes exclusively in the open competition of the 25 positions of the Special Administration scale, Special Services subscale, with no specific disability reserved quota for this profile according to the announcement data.

What should interested parties do now?

1. Download the complete bases from BOB no. 43 (March 4, 2026) and read them in full: they contain access requirements, syllabus, competitive exam phases and the application form.
2. Verify that you meet the requirements before investing time in preparation: required qualifications, nationality, functional capacity and other specific conditions for each profile.
3. Note the application deadline: 20 business days from July 19, 2026. Calculate the exact closing date taking into account local holidays in Getxo and Bizkaia.
4. Prepare and gather the documentation required in the bases with sufficient advance notice so you don't run out of time in the final days.
5. If you have recognized disability, consider whether you want to apply for the reserved quota of 5 Administrative positions, which has less competition than open competition.
6. Submit your application within the deadline: submitting the application outside the deadline implies automatic exclusion and there is no possibility of remedying that defect.
