| BOE Publication | May 9, 2026 |
| Effective date | April 23, 2026 |
| Position category | Senior Technician in Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine |

INGESA convenes a competitive exam process to fill fixed positions in the category of Senior Technician in Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine. The resolution, dated April 23, 2026 and published in the BOE on May 9, 2026, opens an opportunity for job stabilization in the territories of Ceuta and Melilla, the only territories directly managed by INGESA in Spain.
This call is relevant both for external professionals seeking to access public healthcare employment and for employees already providing services at INGESA who want to consolidate their position through the internal promotion route.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution regulates a selective process with two differentiated access routes:
| Access route | Directed to | Resulting condition |
|---|---|---|
| General open access system | External professionals who meet the qualification requirements and other conditions of the call | Fixed statutory personnel |
| Internal promotion | Employees already linked to INGESA who meet the established requirements | Fixed statutory personnel |
The selection system is the competitive exam, which combines an exam phase (knowledge tests) with a competition phase (merit evaluation). Candidates selected through either of the two routes will acquire the status of fixed statutory personnel, with all the rights and obligations that this entails under the Framework Statute of statutory personnel in health services.
The specific qualification requirements and other participation conditions are detailed in the full text of the call published in the BOE.
Economic and operational impact
For the professionals affected, the main impact is the possibility of accessing a fixed position in the public health system with the job stability, remuneration, and professional career development that this entails. Fixed statutory personnel enjoy regulated remuneration conditions, access to professional development, and employment stability compared to other forms of employment.
For INGESA, this call responds to the need to fill structural positions in diagnostic imaging and nuclear medicine services in Ceuta and Melilla, territories where the organization directly manages healthcare without intermediation by an autonomous community.
From an operational perspective, INGESA healthcare centers in Ceuta and Melilla will be able to strengthen their imaging technician staffing with fixed personnel, reducing dependence on temporary contracts or interim positions.
Who does it affect?
- Senior Technicians in Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine who wish to access a fixed position in the public health system managed by INGESA.
- Professionals with the required qualifications who want to work in Ceuta or Melilla in the field of diagnostic imaging.
- INGESA employees with temporary contracts or in other categories who meet the requirements to access through the internal promotion route.
- Human resources managers of INGESA healthcare centers in Ceuta and Melilla, who must plan position coverage during the selective process.
- Advisors and consultants in public healthcare employment who support candidates in preparing for the process.
Practical example
A Senior Technician in Diagnostic Imaging and Nuclear Medicine currently working as a temporary employee at Ceuta Hospital under INGESA management can apply to this selective process through the internal promotion route. If they pass the competitive exam, they will consolidate their position as fixed statutory personnel, moving from a temporary situation to a structural position with all associated rights: employment stability, professional development, regulated remuneration, and access to statutory personnel mobility mechanisms.
An external professional with the required qualifications who resides outside Ceuta or Melilla can opt for the open access route. If they obtain a position, they must relocate to one of the two territories managed by INGESA, as the positions announced correspond exclusively to these destinations.
What should candidates do now?
- Consult the full text of the call in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-10070) to verify qualification requirements, participation conditions, application deadlines, and required documentation.
- Determine the appropriate access route: open access if you are an external professional, or internal promotion if you already have a link with INGESA and meet the specific requirements of this route.
- Gather supporting documentation of qualifications and other merits that can be evaluated in the competition phase before the application submission period opens.
- Submit the application within the deadline established in the call. Deadlines are non-extendable in public employment selective processes.
- Prepare for the exam phase tests based on the syllabus and program contained in the official call.
- INGESA HR managers: plan temporary coverage of the announced positions during the period the selective process lasts, which may extend several months.
