98 Nursing Positions at INGESA 2026: Requirements, Vacancies and How to Apply

Key data

INGESA is putting up 98 permanent statutory personnel positions in the Nursing category, intended for its health institutions in Ceuta and Melilla. The announcement, published in the BOE on October 5, 2026 (reference BOE-A-2026-20625), activates the most relevant selection process for nurses seeking stability in the public health system of these autonomous cities.

If you are a nurse with university qualifications and meet the access requirements, this announcement opens a direct path to the status of permanent statutory personnel, with all the guarantees this implies in terms of job stability and professional career.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution announces a selective process by competitive examination to fill nursing positions at INGESA, the body that manages public health in Ceuta and Melilla. The process is governed by the Framework Statute of Statutory Personnel of Health Services.

The distribution of positions is as follows:

A relevant aspect: internal promotion positions not awarded will accumulate to open competition, which may increase the number of positions available for external applicants.

The access requirements established in the announcement are:

• Possess a Degree or Diploma in Nursing (official university qualification)
• Spanish or EU nationality (or legally equivalent cases)
• Not be disqualified from the exercise of public functions
• Pay the participation fees unless an applicable legal exemption is accredited

Economic and operational impact

For applicants, the most immediate economic impact is the payment of participation fees. The announcement establishes their mandatory nature, although it recognizes legal exemptions for certain groups (people with disabilities, registered unemployed, large families, among the most common cases in public sector announcements). The exact amount of the fees does not appear in the summary of the resolution, so it should be consulted in the full text of the BOE.

From an operational perspective, obtaining a permanent statutory personnel position means:

• Full job stability in the public health system
• Access to the professional career of INGESA in Ceuta or Melilla
• Remuneration and reconciliation rights of permanent statutory personnel
• Possibility to participate in future transfer competitions as permanent staff

For INGESA, filling these 98 positions means strengthening the structural workforce of its health institutions in both autonomous cities, reducing dependence on temporary or interim personnel.

Who does it affect?

• Nurses with a Degree or Diploma in Nursing who wish to access a permanent position in the public health system
• Nursing professionals with Spanish or EU nationality who are not disqualified from public employment
• Temporary statutory personnel of INGESA who opt for the internal promotion category
• People with disabilities equal to or greater than 33% who meet the announcement requirements (10 positions reserved)
• Nurses interested in working in Ceuta or Melilla, given that the positions are linked to INGESA health institutions in these autonomous cities

Practical example

A nurse with a Degree in Nursing, Spanish nationality and no history of disqualification from public employment decides to apply for open competition in this announcement. Her process would be as follows:

1. Verifies that she meets the requirements: university qualification in Nursing, nationality, and not being disqualified.
2. Consults the full text of the resolution (BOE-A-2026-20625) to know the amount of fees and check if she is entitled to exemption.
3. Submits her application within the established deadline, paying the corresponding fees if she does not accredit exemption.
4. Participates in the examination phase and, if she passes it, in the merit competition phase.
5. If she obtains a position, she accesses the status of permanent statutory personnel at a health institution of INGESA in Ceuta or Melilla.

If this same professional had a recognized disability equal to or greater than 33%, she could opt for one of the 10 reserved positions in the disability quota, competing in a group with fewer applicants.

What should applicants do now?

1. Read the full text of the resolution in the BOE (BOE-A-2026-20625) to know the deadline for submitting applications, the amount of fees and the complete bases of the process.
2. Verify compliance with requirements: qualification (Degree or Diploma in Nursing), Spanish or EU nationality, and not being disqualified from public employment.
3. Check if you are entitled to fee exemption: the announcement recognizes applicable legal exemptions; check if your situation (disability, unemployment, large family or other) gives you the right not to pay them.
4. Prepare supporting documentation of the merits that will be evaluated in the competition phase (professional experience, training, etc.), in accordance with the announcement bases.
5. Submit the application within the deadline established in the resolution. Submission outside the deadline implies automatic exclusion from the process.
6. If you are statutory personnel of INGESA, analyze whether it is convenient for you to compete through the internal promotion category, whose unawarded positions will accumulate to open competition.
