INGESA 2026 Examinations: Administrative Middle Graduate Positions in Ceuta and Melilla

Key data

The National Institute of Health Management announces in 2026 a selective process to fill positions in the category of Administrative Function Middle Graduate as fixed statutory personnel. The announcement, published through the Resolution of April 23, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-10064), affects exclusively the territorial scope managed by INGESA: the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla.

Unlike autonomous communities, which manage their own health personnel, INGESA is the body that assumes this function in Ceuta and Melilla. This announcement is, therefore, the access route to fixed public health-administrative employment in those territories.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces a selective process structured in two phases: competitive examination and opposition. Two differentiated access routes are offered:

The announced positions correspond to the category of Administrative Function Middle Graduate, which implies management and administration functions within the public health system managed by INGESA in Ceuta and Melilla.

Applicants must pay special attention to two critical elements: the application submission deadlines and the required documentation for each route, as they differ between open access and internal promotion.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, accessing a fixed statutory personnel position means full job stability within the public health system, with the remuneration conditions and professional career typical of INGESA statutory personnel.

For INGESA as an organization, this announcement responds to the need to fill structural positions in its administrative services in Ceuta and Melilla, strengthening health management capacity in those territories.

From an operational perspective, human resources managers of entities that may see their workforce affected by candidates opting for these positions should consider the possible impact on the availability of administrative profiles with middle-grade training in those cities.

Who does it affect?

• Middle graduates (diplomates, middle-grade graduates or equivalents) who aspire to a fixed statutory employee position in the health-administrative field.
• Statutory personnel already linked to INGESA in Ceuta or Melilla who wish to access through the internal promotion route.
• Labor and HR advisors who manage candidates or workers in those territories and need to know the conditions of the process.
• HR managers of private entities in Ceuta and Melilla who may see their supply of middle-grade administrative profiles reduced if their employees opt for these positions.
• Examination preparation academies and public employment consultancies with activity in Ceuta and Melilla.

Practical example

A graduate in Administrative Management residing in Ceuta, with several years of experience in the private sector, can apply through the open access route if they meet the qualification requirements and other conditions of the bases. They must prepare specific documentation for that route and respect the application submission deadline established in the announcement.

On the other hand, an administrative assistant who already works as temporary statutory personnel at INGESA in Melilla can opt for the internal promotion route, which allows them to compete under differentiated conditions compared to open access, with documentation and requirements specific to that route according to the announcement bases.

In both cases, the result of passing the process is obtaining the status of fixed statutory personnel in the Administrative Function Middle Graduate category, with assignment in the territorial scope of INGESA (Ceuta and Melilla).

What should interested parties do now?

1. Consult the complete bases of the announcement in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-10064) to verify the exact qualification requirements and participation conditions for each access route.
2. Identify the applicable access route: open access if you are an external candidate, internal promotion if you are already statutory personnel at INGESA.
3. Review the application submission deadline urgently, as the announcement was published on May 9, 2026 and registration deadlines are limited.
4. Prepare the required documentation for the chosen route, paying attention to the differences between open access and internal promotion established in the bases.
5. Labor and HR advisors should inform their clients with personnel likely to apply for this announcement about the implications for workforce planning.
