Madrid announces 33 public employment positions in 2026: technicians and sports medicine doctors

Key data

The Madrid City Council announces in September 2026 a total of 33 public employment positions through competitive examination in open competition, distributed across two different profiles. The announcement, published in the BOE on September 23, 2026 under reference BOE-A-2026-19727, activates the application deadline starting the following day, September 24, 2026.

If you are considering applying or advising candidates, the first step is to locate the complete bases in the Official Bulletin of the Madrid City Council (BOAM), number 10173, published on July 21, 2026. There you will find access requirements, syllabi and phases of the selection process.

What does this regulation establish?

The Resolution of September 8, 2026 from the Madrid City Council announces two groups of positions with different characteristics within the Special Administration scale:

The selection process is through competitive examination in open competition, which means that any citizen who meets the requirements established in the bases can apply, without any quota reserved for internal promotion in this specific announcement.

The regulatory bases that govern the entire process —qualification requirements, syllabi, examination phases, scoring and tiebreaker criteria— were published in advance in the BOAM no. 10173 of July 21, 2026. Subsequent announcements of the process (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, etc.) will be published as provided in those same bases.

Economic and operational impact

For the Madrid City Council, this announcement means the incorporation of up to 33 personnel in specialized technical and health positions, meeting needs in special administration and municipal sports medicine.

For candidates, the impact is immediate: the application deadline is only 20 business days from September 24, 2026, leaving a tight margin to gather documentation, verify requirements and submit the application. After that deadline, no late applications will be accepted.

From an operational perspective, companies and advisory firms that manage public employment applications should note that:

• The 20 business day deadline excludes Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, so the effective deadline falls approximately at the end of October 2026 (subject to Madrid's official holiday calendar).
• The specific qualification requirements and other conditions are in BOAM no. 10173 and must be verified before submitting the application.
• Subsequent announcements of the process (provisional lists, exam dates) will be published as provided in the bases themselves, so active monitoring is necessary.

Who does it affect?

• Graduates and degree holders in administration, law, economics or related fields who meet the requirements of the Special Services subscale and aspire to the 30 Senior Administration Technician positions.
• Medical doctors specializing in Sports Medicine or with the required qualifications for the 3 Sports Medicine Doctor positions in the Technical subscale.
• Competitive examination academies and preparatory instructors who must update their preparation programs for these positions.
• HR advisors and public selection consulting firms that manage applications for the Madrid local public sector.
• Active public employees who want to improve their position or change their civil service body through open competition.

Practical example

Imagine you are a Law graduate with several years of experience in public administration and want to apply for one of the 30 Senior Administration Technician positions at the Madrid City Council.

The process would be as follows:

1. Consult the bases in BOAM no. 10173 (published on July 21, 2026) to confirm that your qualifications and other requirements match the announcement.
2. Submit your application within the 20 business day deadline that starts on September 24, 2026. Don't wait until the last day: gathering supporting documentation takes time.
3. Monitor subsequent announcements (lists of admitted candidates, date and place of the first exercise) that will be published according to the bases themselves, both in the BOAM and, where applicable, in the BOE.

The same scheme applies for candidates to the 3 Sports Medicine Doctor positions, with the difference that they must provide proof of medical qualifications and the specialization required according to the Technical subscale.

What should candidates do now?

1. Download and read the complete bases in BOAM no. 10173 (July 21, 2026): there you will find the qualification requirements, the syllabus, the process phases and the evaluation criteria. Without reading the bases, you cannot know if you meet the requirements.
2. Verify that you meet all access requirements before submitting your application: qualifications, nationality, functional capacity and any other required in the bases.
3. Submit your application within the 20 business day deadline from September 24, 2026. Calculate the exact deadline taking into account Madrid's official holidays and don't wait until the last moment.
4. Set up monitoring alerts for the BOAM and BOE: subsequent announcements of the process (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results) will be published in the media provided for in the bases themselves.
5. If you advise candidates, inform them immediately about the deadline and provide access to BOAM no. 10173 so that each person can verify their specific requirements.
