New Court Procedure Officer Positions Valencia 2026: Deadlines and Key Points

Key data

Those approved in the competitive examination of open competition for the Court Procedure and Administrative Body convened by the Order JUS/1327/2022, of December 28, now have permanent assignment in the Valencian Community. The Resolution of July 31, 2026 from the General Directorate of Justice and Self-Government sets September 1, 2026 as the reference date for the start of the deadline to take office. From that day, the appointees have 20 business days to report to their respective court offices.

This resolution closes the extraordinary selection process initiated with the 2022 call and has immediate consequences for both new officials and interim staff currently occupying the allocated positions.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution regulates the allocation of permanent positions to officials of the Court Procedure and Administrative Body who passed the extraordinary selection process convened by Order JUS/1327/2022. This is a competitive examination of open competition held in the Valencian Community.

The essential points established by the resolution are as follows:

• Taking office: Appointees have 20 business days counted from September 1, 2026 to report to their assigned positions in the court offices.
• Option for officials from another body: Those who already belong to another body of the Administration of Justice may choose to continue in it, entering a situation of voluntary leave in the newly allocated body.
• Interim staff cessation: Interim staff occupying allocated positions or vacant positions offered with more than three years seniority will cease on August 31, 2026, that is, the day before the deadline to take office begins.
• Mobility restriction: New officials will not be able to participate in transfer competitions for the two years following the date of this resolution.
• Vacant positions: Unallocated positions remain vacant and may be offered in future ordinary transfer competitions.

Economic and operational impact

For the court offices of the Valencian Community, this resolution represents a significant workforce renewal. The cessation of interim staff with more than three years seniority in allocated or vacant positions offered implies a personnel transition that must be managed with precision before August 31, 2026.

From an operational perspective, court office managers must anticipate:

• The definitive departure of interim staff from affected positions before the end of August.
• The incorporation of new career officials within a maximum of 20 business days from September 1.
• The possible existence of positions that remain vacant if an appointee chooses voluntary leave due to already belonging to another body of the Administration of Justice.
• Workload planning during the transition period, especially if there are overlaps or coverage gaps between interim cessation and career official taking office.

Positions that remain vacant do not generate immediate coverage: they must wait for future ordinary transfer competitions, which may prolong the vacancy situation for months.

Who does it affect?

• Officials approved in JUS/1327/2022: All those who passed the extraordinary selection process of open competition and have received assignment in the Valencian Community. They must take office within the established deadline.
• Interim staff from Valencian court offices: Those occupying allocated positions in this resolution or vacant positions offered with more than three years seniority. Their cessation is August 31, 2026.
• Officials from another body of the Administration of Justice: Those who already belong to another body and have obtained assignment in this process must decide whether to choose to continue in their current body (entering voluntary leave in the new one) or report to the allocated position.
• Managers and administrators of Valencian court offices: Must plan the workforce transition and manage administrative procedures associated with interim cessation and new officials taking office.

Practical example

An interim official of the Court Procedure and Administrative Body who has been covering a vacant position in a Valencia court for four years and whose position has been allocated in this resolution, ceases their position on August 31, 2026. They cannot extend their situation or request an extension: cessation is automatic by mandate of the resolution.

The new career official appointed to that position has until the last business day of the 20 business days counted from September 1, 2026 to present themselves and take office. If they do not do so within that deadline without justified cause, they could lose the allocated position. Once incorporated, they will not be able to request a transfer to another position for the two years following the resolution date (July 31, 2026), that is, until at least July 31, 2028.

If that same official already belonged to another body of the Administration of Justice, they must formally communicate whether they choose to continue in their original body, in which case they will enter a situation of voluntary leave in the Court Procedure and Administrative Body.

What should those affected do now?

1. Officials approved in JUS/1327/2022: Confirm the allocated position in the resolution and prepare the necessary documentation to take office. The 20 business day deadline from September 1, 2026 is non-extendable except for justified cause.
2. Officials belonging to another body of the Administration of Justice: Decide urgently whether to choose to continue in their current body or report to the new position. This decision has consequences for their administrative status (voluntary leave).
3. Affected interim staff: Accept that cessation is August 31, 2026 and manage discharge procedures, salary settlement and possible rights derived from cessation. Verify whether the position they occupy is included in the allocated or vacant positions offered with more than three years seniority.
4. Court office managers: Identify which positions in their office are affected by this resolution, plan personnel transition and communicate changes internally before August 31, 2026.
5. HR managers of the Valencian Administration of Justice: Process interim cessations, manage timely taking of office and record voluntary leave situations that occur. Identify positions that remain vacant for inclusion in future ordinary competitions.
