INGESA 2026 Competitive Exams: Fixed Positions for Senior Administrator in Healthcare Administration

Key data

INGESA announces fixed statutory personnel positions in the category of Senior Administrator in Healthcare Administration, published in the Official Gazette on May 9, 2026 through the Resolution of April 23, 2026. This is an opportunity to access permanent public employment in the healthcare system of Ceuta and Melilla, with two differentiated routes: open access and internal promotion.

The process is through competitive exam-oposition, which combines selective tests with merit evaluation. This modality expands the possibilities for candidates with accumulated experience compared to pure opposition processes.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces a selective process to fill permanent positions within INGESA, the body of the General Administration of the State that manages public healthcare in the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla.

The structural elements of the process are as follows:

The competitive exam-oposition means that applicants must pass the tests established in the call bases and accredit the required merits. The exact weighting of each phase is included in the official bases published in the Official Gazette.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, passing this process means accessing a fixed statutory personnel position, the most stable figure in public healthcare employment. This implies:

• Permanent employment relationship with INGESA, not subject to temporary contracts or renewals.
• Access to the remuneration conditions and professional career of statutory personnel in the National Health System.
• Destination in Ceuta or Melilla, which may involve specific supplements for residence in autonomous cities.

For INGESA, the call responds to the need to fill structural positions with fixed personnel, in line with the stabilization processes of public healthcare employment promoted in recent years.

The dual access route—open and internal promotion—has relevant operational impact: INGESA employees in interim situations or with temporary positions can opt to consolidate their position without competing on equal terms with external candidates, since internal promotion is resolved in a separate process.

Who does it affect?

• University graduates with administrative-healthcare profile seeking to access public healthcare employment through open access.
• INGESA employees who meet the requirements to compete through internal promotion and want to consolidate or improve their professional situation.
• Interim and temporary INGESA personnel in Ceuta and Melilla aspiring to a fixed position.
• Advisors and HR managers of healthcare entities who must inform their staff about this call.

Practical example

A university graduate in Business Administration and Management with specialization in healthcare management, currently working as interim staff at INGESA in Ceuta, can apply to this process through the internal promotion route. By competing through this route, they compete only with other INGESA employees who meet the requirements, without facing the full number of external candidates from open access.

If they pass the opposition phase tests and accredit the merits required in the competition phase—such as previous experience at INGESA, specific training or other valuable merits according to the bases—they would obtain a fixed statutory personnel position in the category of Senior Administrator in Healthcare Administration, with destination in Ceuta or Melilla and with all the rights of fixed statutory personnel in the National Health System.

What should interested parties do now?

1. Consult the call bases published in the Official Gazette (BOE-A-2026-10063) to verify the requirements for qualifications, experience and documentation required in each access route.
2. Determine the applicable access route: if you are an INGESA employee, analyze whether you meet the internal promotion requirements; if you are an external candidate, verify that your qualification fits the profile of Senior Administrator in Healthcare Administration.
3. Prepare merit documentation from now on, since the competitive exam-oposition includes a merit evaluation phase that can be decisive in the final result.
4. Monitor application submission deadlines, which will be included in the official bases. Failure to meet the deadline results in automatic exclusion from the process.
5. Inform affected personnel if you are responsible for HR in an entity linked to INGESA, especially those who may opt for internal promotion.
