New Judicial Assistance Positions Valencia 2026: deadlines and key information for civil servants

Key data

Candidates who passed the selection process for the Judicial Assistance Corps called by the Order JUS/1288/2022, of December 22, now have their assignment in the Valencian Community. The Resolution of July 8, 2026, from the General Directorate of Justice and Self-Government, sets September 1, 2026 as the start date for counting the deadline to take office, with a maximum period of 20 business days.

This resolution not only affects new civil servants: it also has direct and immediate consequences for interim staff currently occupying those positions, and opens a relevant decision for those who already belong to other judicial bodies.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution regulates four key aspects that all affected parties must know:

The exclusive channel for taking office procedures is the citizen portal, which eliminates the possibility of in-person or paper management. It is essential that those affected have an active digital certificate or Cl@ve before September 1.

Economic and operational impact

Although this resolution does not establish direct economic amounts, its operational impact is significant on several fronts:

• Interim staff at risk of cessation: Interim staff occupying assigned positions lose their position on August 31, 2026, regardless of their seniority in that specific position. Additionally, those who have been in a vacant position for more than three years also cease on that same date, even if the position has not been assigned to a new civil servant.
• New civil servants with forced assignment: During the first two years from the resolution (until approximately July 2028), new civil servants cannot request a transfer. They must remain in the assigned position, which affects their personal and family planning.
• Strategic decision for dual-body civil servants: Those who simultaneously belong to Procedural Processing or Procedural Management must decide whether to choose to continue in those bodies (moving to voluntary leave in Judicial Assistance) or take up the assigned position. This decision has implications for career, compensation, and future mobility.
• Mandatory digitalization of the procedure: Taking office is exclusively electronic. Judicial offices and civil servants themselves must ensure that digital means are operational before the deadline begins.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates approved in the selection process for the Judicial Assistance Corps called by Order JUS/1288/2022, with assignment in the Valencian Community.
• Interim staff currently occupying positions assigned by this resolution in judicial offices of the Valencian Community.
• Interim staff who have been occupying a vacant position for more than three years in the Valencian Community, even if the position has not been assigned to a new civil servant.
• Civil servants from Procedural Processing or Procedural Management who have also passed the Judicial Assistance opposition and must choose which body to continue in.
• Human resources managers of judicial offices in the Valencian Community, who must manage staffing changes before September 1, 2026.

Practical example

Let's suppose the case of an interim civil servant who has been covering a vacant position in a Valencia court for four years. Having exceeded the three-year threshold in a vacant position, her cessation occurs on August 31, 2026, regardless of whether the position has been assigned or not to a new civil servant by this resolution.

On the other hand, a candidate approved in the JUS/1288/2022 call who receives an assignment in a court in Alicante must initiate the procedures to take office through the citizen portal starting September 1, 2026, with a maximum deadline of 20 business days. If he also belongs to the Procedural Processing Corps, he must decide before that date whether to choose to continue in Procedural Processing (remaining in voluntary leave in Judicial Assistance) or take up the new assigned position. This decision affects his career for at least the next two years, as he will not be able to request a transfer until July 2028.

What should those affected do now?

1. Verify the assigned position: Check the resolution published on July 21, 2026 to confirm the position and judicial office assigned. Source: BOE-A-2026-15875.
2. Activate digital identification means: Taking office is exclusively electronic through the citizen portal. Make sure you have an active digital certificate or Cl@ve before September 1, 2026.
3. Decide on the body option (if applicable): If you belong to the Procedural Processing Corps or Procedural Management Corps, evaluate before September 1 whether you are interested in continuing in that body (voluntary leave in Judicial Assistance) or taking up the assigned position. Consult with a public service advisor about the compensation and career implications.
4. Manage the taking office procedure within the deadline: Complete taking office within 20 business days from September 1, 2026. Failing to do so within the deadline may have consequences on the validity of the appointment.
5. Interim staff: plan for cessation on August 31: If you are interim staff in an assigned position or have been in a vacant position for more than three years, prepare for the employment transition. Cessation is on August 31, 2026, with no possibility of extension.
6. HR managers in judicial offices: Update staffing charts before September 1, managing both the departures of interim staff and the arrivals of new permanent civil servants.
