New Judicial Assistance Officials in Andalusia: Assignments and Key Deadlines 2026

Key data

Candidates who passed the selection process for the Judicial Assistance Corps of the Administration of Justice in Andalusia—called by Order JUS/1288/2022, of December 22—now know their final assignments. The Resolution of July 8, 2026, published in the BOE of July 21, 2026, sets the start of the deadline for taking office on September 1, 2026.

For the awardees, this moment marks the formal beginning of their career as permanent officials. For the interim officials currently occupying those positions, it means automatic cessation. And for those who already belong to other Justice bodies, it requires making a decision with long-term consequences.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution regulates five fundamental aspects for new officials and for receiving judicial offices:

The resolution is part of the process of consolidating public employment in the Administration of Justice in Andalusia, completing the cycle initiated with the 2022 call.

Economic and operational impact

Although this resolution does not generate direct costs for private companies, it has relevant operational consequences for judicial offices and the officials affected:

• For receiving judicial offices: they must prepare for the incorporation of new permanent officials and manage the simultaneous cessation of interim officials occupying those positions. This may generate a brief transition period that affects case processing.
• For affected interim officials: cessation is automatic and immediate at the moment the permanent official takes office, without need for additional notice. They must plan their employment situation in advance.
• For new officials with dual membership: the decision to choose between bodies has implications for salary, career, and long-term mobility. The possibility of requesting voluntary leave offers room for maneuver, but requires prior analysis.
• Mobility restriction: the prohibition on participating in transfer competitions for two years from the resolution (that is, until approximately July 2028) limits the ability of new officials to change assignments during that period.
• Vacant positions: unassigned positions do not remain permanently vacant, but will be incorporated into future transfer competitions, which may create mobility opportunities for officials already in service.

Who does it affect?

• Approved candidates of the Judicial Assistance Corps in Andalusia who passed the selection process of Order JUS/1288/2022 (open access): must take office within the established deadline.
• Interim officials currently occupying assigned positions: will automatically cease on the day the permanent official takes office.
• Officials of the Procedural Management and Procedural Processing Bodies who have also passed the Judicial Assistance opposition: must exercise their right to choose between bodies or request voluntary leave.
• Human resources managers of Andalusian judicial offices: must manage the incorporations and cessations resulting from this resolution.
• Active officials aspiring to positions in Andalusia: vacant positions may be offered in future transfer competitions.

Practical example

Let's imagine the case of a candidate who passed the JUS/1288/2022 call and who also already belongs to the Procedural Processing Body in a judicial office in Seville. The resolution assigns him a position in the Court of First Instance in Málaga as a Judicial Assistance official.

This official faces a decision with two paths:

• Option A — Join Judicial Assistance: takes office in Málaga before the 20 business day deadline from September 1, 2026 expires. From that moment on, he will not be able to request a transfer until approximately July 2028. He must assess whether the assigned position compensates him compared to his current situation in Seville.
• Option B — Continue in Procedural Processing: renounces the Judicial Assistance position and remains in his current body and assignment. He may also request voluntary leave if he wants to keep open the possibility of returning later.

Meanwhile, the interim official occupying the Málaga position must know that, as soon as the permanent official takes office, his employment relationship ceases automatically, without need for additional communication from the administration.

What should those affected do now?

1. Verify the assigned position in the resolution published in the BOE of July 21, 2026 and confirm the destination judicial office.
2. Calculate the exact deadline for taking office: 20 business days from September 1, 2026. Take into account local and regional holidays in Andalusia to avoid delays.
3. Decide on the body option if you simultaneously belong to the Procedural Management or Procedural Processing Body: assess compensation, career development, and mobility before choosing. Consult with a public service advisor if there are doubts.
4. Request voluntary leave if you wish to maintain the link with your original body without definitively renouncing the Judicial Assistance position.
5. Plan the logistical transition: change of residence if the assignment involves geographic relocation, keeping in mind that the two-year restriction prevents requesting a transfer until approximately July 2028.
6. Interim officials in assigned positions: anticipate cessation and manage the employment situation (registration in employment pools, search for new substitutions) before the permanent official takes office.
