INGESA Administrative Assistant Civil Service Exam 2026: Positions in Ceuta and Melilla

Key data

INGESA announces positions in the category of Administrative Function Auxiliary Group as fixed statutory personnel, intended for the territories of Ceuta and Melilla. The resolution that formalizes the process is dated April 23, 2026 and was published in the BOE on May 11, 2026.

INGESA is the body that manages public health in Ceuta and Melilla, as these are the only territories where health management has not been transferred to any autonomous community. This makes these positions a direct opportunity to access stable public employment in the state health sector.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution calls for a selective process through competitive examination under the general open access system. This means that anyone who meets the requirements can apply, without needing to belong to a specific group or prove prior status as a public employee.

The selective process is structured in two differentiated phases:

• Examination phase: Selective tests of an eliminatory or non-eliminatory nature as established in the call bases.
• Merit evaluation phase: Assessment of merits accredited by applicants (experience, training or other criteria set in the call).

Applicants must meet the qualification requirements and other conditions established in the call. Exact details are found in the resolution published in the BOE of May 11, 2026.

Economic and operational impact

Obtaining a fixed statutory personnel position at INGESA means accessing stable public employment with the remuneration conditions and labor security inherent to the statute of health personnel. Unlike temporary or interim personnel, fixed statutory staff cannot be dismissed except for disciplinary or legal cause.

For applicants residing in Ceuta or Melilla, these positions represent the possibility of consolidating their employment situation in their territory of residence. For those residing on the peninsula, it implies evaluating relocation to these territories as a condition of the position.

From the administration's perspective, the call responds to the need to fill structural positions in the administrative management of public health in these territories, reducing dependence on temporary personnel.

Who does it affect?

• People seeking stable public employment in the field of health administration.
• Residents in Ceuta and Melilla interested in accessing positions in their territory.
• Interim and temporary INGESA personnel wishing to consolidate their employment situation.
• Administrative-health sector exam candidates seeking open access positions at the state level.
• People with qualifying qualifications for the Administrative Function Auxiliary Group according to the call requirements.

Practical example

An administrator currently working as interim staff at INGESA in Melilla can apply for this call in the open access phase. In the examination phase they must pass the tests established in the bases. In the merit evaluation phase, they can provide their previous experience at INGESA and their specific training, which will give them additional scoring over other candidates without experience in the organization.

If they pass the process, they will move from having a temporary employment relationship to being fixed statutory personnel, with all the stability guarantees that entails: job security, consolidated remuneration rights and access to career advancement within the public health system.

What should applicants do now?
