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

Key data

Twenty-three months after the extraordinary call published through the Order JUS/1327/2022, of December 28, the 22 candidates who passed the free-entry competitive examination for the Judicial Assistance Corps of the Administration of Justice in Andalusia now know their final assignment. The resolution, signed on August 19, 2026 and published in the BOE of August 24, 2026, immediately activates a chain of obligations and cessations affecting both the new permanent officials and the interim officials occupying the positions.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution regulates five specific aspects that those affected must know:

• Assignment of positions: Assignments are granted in judicial offices in Andalusia to the 22 officials who passed the extraordinary selection process called by Order JUS/1327/2022. The positions are in the Judicial Assistance Corps of the Administration of Justice.
• Deadline for taking office: New officials have 20 business days counted from September 1, 2026 to take up their assignment. Failure to meet this deadline may have consequences for the appointment.
• Option for officials from other procedural bodies: Those who already belong to another procedural or procedural management body may choose to continue in it, but must expressly communicate this to the corresponding Territorial Delegation. If they do not communicate anything, it is understood that they are entering the Judicial Assistance Corps.
• Transfer restriction: Officials entering the Judicial Assistance Corps cannot participate in transfer competitions for two years from the date of this resolution (August 19, 2026), that is, until at least August 19, 2028.
• Automatic cessation of interim officials: Interim officials currently occupying the assigned positions will automatically cease on the same day the permanent official takes office. No additional procedure is required from the interim official.
• Vacant positions: Unassigned positions are declared vacant and may be incorporated into future ordinary transfer competitions.

Economic and operational impact

For the receiving Andalusian judicial offices, the resolution implies an immediate reorganization of staffing: the interim officials covering those vacancies cease to provide service at the exact moment the permanent official takes office, with no overlap period or formal transfer regulated by this resolution.

For the new officials, the most relevant operational impact is the mobility restriction: for two years they cannot compete for another assignment, which fixes their employment and geographic situation until at least August 2028. Those who prefer a different assignment than the one granted will have to wait for an ordinary competition to open once that period has elapsed.

For the displaced interim officials, cessation is automatic and without specific compensation regulated in this resolution. They must anticipate the end of their employment relationship from the moment the permanent official takes office, which can occur at any time within the 20 business days following September 1, 2026.

The positions that remain vacant (not assigned in this process) do not generate an immediate vacancy covered by an interim official: they remain in reserve for future ordinary competitions, which may prolong the situation of lack of coverage in those offices.

Who does it affect?

• 22 approved candidates in the extraordinary selection process (Order JUS/1327/2022) who receive assignments in Andalusia and must take office before the 20 business days expire from September 1, 2026.
• Interim officials currently occupying the assigned positions in Andalusian judicial offices: they automatically cease on the day the permanent official takes office.
• Officials from other procedural bodies who also passed the process and must decide whether to continue in their current body or enter the Judicial Assistance Corps, communicating this to the Territorial Delegation.
• Territorial Delegations of Justice in Andalusia: must manage communications regarding choice of body and coordinate taking office procedures.
• Andalusian judicial offices receiving the new permanent officials: must prepare for the incorporation and manage the cessation of interim officials.

Practical example

A candidate who passed the extraordinary selection process receives an assignment in a judicial office in Seville. The resolution enters into force on September 1, 2026, so they have 20 business days—approximately until September 29, 2026, excluding holidays—to take up their position.

In that same office there is an interim official covering the position. At the exact moment the permanent official signs the taking of office, the interim official automatically ceases, without need for additional notice or specific cessation resolution.

If that same candidate previously belonged to the Procedural Management Corps, they have the option to communicate to the Territorial Delegation that they prefer to continue in their original body. If they do not communicate anything, it is understood that they accept entry into the Judicial Assistance Corps and are blocked from transfer competitions until August 19, 2028.

What should those affected do now?

1. Approved candidates with assigned positions: Calculate the deadline for taking office (20 business days from September 1, 2026) and manage incorporation before that deadline. Failure to do so may compromise the appointment.
2. Officials from other procedural bodies: If you prefer to continue in your current body, expressly communicate this to the corresponding Territorial Delegation before taking office. Silence implies acceptance of entry into the Judicial Assistance Corps.
3. Interim officials in assigned positions: Prepare for cessation when the permanent official takes office. There is no fixed deadline known in advance: it can occur on any day within the 20 business days from September 1.
4. New entering officials: Keep in mind the two-year restriction for transfer competitions (until August 19, 2028) when planning future mobility.
5. Territorial Delegations: Activate procedures for receiving communications regarding choice of body and coordinate with judicial offices the management of taking office and cessation of interim officials.
