Judicial Offices Position Competition 2026: Key Information for Case Management and Judicial Assistance Officials

Key data

Career officials of the Case Management and Administrative and Judicial Assistance Bodies of the Administration of Justice have a new opportunity to access management positions in Andalusia. The Resolution of 23 September 2026, from the General Directorate of Judicial Infrastructure and Human Resources, announces a specific competition to fill singularized positions in five judicial districts of the region.

The deadline is short and the documentary requirement is demanding: without a submitted project memorandum, no candidacy is possible. Here is all the information you need to decide whether to apply and how to do so.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces a specific competition for the provision of singularized management positions in Judicial Offices located in the following judicial districts:

• Arcos de la Frontera
• Jerez de la Frontera
• La Línea de la Concepción
• La Palma del Condado
• Utrera

The selection process is structured in two assessment phases, with a maximum total score of 100 points:

A critical element of the process is the project memorandum: one must be submitted for each position applied for, with a maximum length of five pages. Its absence implies automatic exclusion of the candidacy for that position. It is not an optional or secondary document: it is a sine qua non condition to participate.

Applications are processed exclusively by electronic means, with no possibility of paper submission. The deadline is 10 business days counted from publication in the BOJA (19/10/2026).

The Assessment Commission that will evaluate the merits will be composed of representatives from the Administration and the unions CSIF, STAJ and SPJ-USO.

Economic and operational impact

For interested officials, the main impact is professional and financial in nature: accessing a singularized management position means, in the Administration of Justice, an improvement in level and, therefore, in specific and destination allowances. These management positions in Judicial Offices typically entail a higher salary level than the base positions of the bodies announced.

From an operational perspective, candidates should consider:

• Opportunity cost of the deadline: with only 10 business days, preparation of the project memorandum must begin immediately after publication.
• Documentary burden: each position applied for requires an independent project memorandum of up to 5 pages, which multiplies the effort if applying for several positions simultaneously.
• Weight of seniority: with up to 60 points in general merits (seniority), officials with longer tenure start with structural advantage in total scoring.
• Union representation on the commission: the presence of CSIF, STAJ and SPJ-USO ensures parity control of the process, which provides transparency but also means that assessment criteria are subject to prior collective bargaining.

Who does it affect?

• Career officials of the Case Management and Administrative Body of the Administration of Justice, from any territorial scope (not only Andalusia).
• Career officials of the Judicial Assistance Body of the Administration of Justice, also from any territorial scope.
• Unions CSIF, STAJ and SPJ-USO, which participate in the Assessment Commission.
• Judicial bodies of the five affected judicial districts, which will have their vacant management positions filled.

It is relevant that the announcement is open to officials from any territorial scope, not only those currently assigned in Andalusia. This significantly expands the universe of potential candidates.

Practical example

A career official of the Case Management and Administrative Body currently assigned in Madrid, with 20 years of seniority, wishes to apply for two management positions: one in Jerez de la Frontera and another in Utrera.

What they must do within the 10 business days from 19/10/2026:

1. Prepare two independent project memoranda, one for each position applied for, of maximum 5 pages each.
2. Gather the documentation proving their general merits (seniority, which may earn them up to 60 points) and their specific merits (up to 40 additional points).
3. Submit the application exclusively by electronic means before the deadline expires.

If they submit both memoranda correctly, their candidacy will be evaluated by the Assessment Commission composed of representatives from the Administration and CSIF, STAJ and SPJ-USO. If they omit the memorandum for one of the positions, their candidacy for that specific position will be automatically excluded, although the other position's candidacy will continue.

What should officials do now?

1. Verify eligibility immediately: confirm that you belong to the Case Management and Administrative Body or the Judicial Assistance Body with career official status. Your current territorial assignment is not a limiting factor.
2. Identify positions of interest: consult the complete resolution in the official BOE to learn about the specific positions announced in each of the five judicial districts.
3. Draft the project memorandum without delay: it is the critical document. One must be prepared for each position applied for, with a maximum of 5 pages. Without it, the candidacy is automatically excluded.
4. Gather merit documentation: prove seniority (up to 60 points in general merits) and any specific merit that can be valued (up to 40 additional points).
5. Submit the application by electronic means: there is no other valid method. Ensure you have a digital certificate or operational electronic identification system before the 10 business day deadline from 19/10/2026 expires.
6. Keep proof of submission: retain the electronic receipt as proof of timely submission.
