42 Healthcare Psychologist Positions in Madrid: 2026 Call and Deadlines

Key data

The Madrid City Council is putting out to tender 42 General Healthcare Psychologist positions through civil service examination in open competition, classified in the Special Administration scale, Technical subscale. The Resolution of August 26, 2026 was published in the BOE of September 9, 2026, which activates the calculation of the application submission deadline: 20 business days from the following day, that is, from September 10, 2026.

It is one of the largest public healthcare employment calls in the municipality this year. Anyone who meets the requirements and does not submit an application within the deadline will lose the opportunity to access these positions until the next call.

What does this call establish?

The resolution from the Madrid City Council formalizes the public call to fill 42 General Healthcare Psychologist positions. The structural aspects are as follows:

The complete regulations — which include qualification requirements, syllabus, examination procedure and evaluation criteria — were published in the Official Bulletin of the Madrid City Council on March 19, 2026. It is essential to consult them directly in that municipal bulletin to know all the details of the selection process.

Subsequent announcements of the process (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results) will be published as established in the regulations themselves, not necessarily in the BOE.

Operational impact and professional opportunity

For healthcare psychology professionals, this call represents a direct route to stable public employment in Spain's largest municipality. The 42 positions in open competition mean there is no prior reserve for internal promotion: any applicant who meets the requirements can compete on equal terms.

From the perspective of the City Council's human resources management, the incorporation of 42 healthcare psychologists strengthens the capacity for mental health care and municipal social services, an area with growing demand in large cities.

For applicants, the critical operational points are:

• Application deadline: 20 business days from September 10, 2026. After that deadline, no applications are accepted.
• Regulations: published on March 19, 2026 in the Official Bulletin of the Madrid City Council. They contain the syllabus, requirements and complete procedure.
• Process monitoring: subsequent announcements (lists of admitted candidates, dates, results) will be published as provided in the regulations, not in the state BOE.

Who does this affect?

• Psychologists with a degree in General Healthcare Psychology who wish to access municipal public employment in Madrid.
• Graduates with degrees in Psychology who have obtained the qualification as General Healthcare Psychologist.
• Public and private healthcare sector professionals seeking job stability in the Madrid local administration.
• Active civil service exam candidates already preparing psychology syllabi for the Public Administration.
• Civil service exam academies and tutors who need to update their programs with this call.

Practical example

A psychologist with the General Healthcare Psychologist qualification obtained in 2023 and two years of experience in the private sector decides to apply for this call. Her roadmap would be as follows:

1. Download the complete regulations from the Official Bulletin of the Madrid City Council of March 19, 2026 to verify that she meets all qualification and access requirements.
2. Calculate the deadline: the application period starts on September 10, 2026 and lasts 20 business days. She must have the application submitted before that deadline expires.
3. Prepare the required documentation according to the regulations (qualification, ID, supporting documents as applicable) and submit the application through the channel indicated in the regulations themselves.
4. From that point on, follow the process announcements (lists of admitted candidates, exam date) in the media provided for in the regulations, not in the state BOE.

If she does not submit the application within 20 business days from September 10, 2026, she is excluded from this selection process and must wait for a new call.
