The University of Granada opens an opportunity for access to public civil service employment for people with intellectual disabilities: 3 positions in the General Services Assistant Scale (subgroup C2, Facilities Assistant position), announced through the Resolution of October 5, 2026 and published in the BOE of October 12, 2026.
Access is through the general open access system, reserved entirely for people with intellectual disabilities recognized equal to or greater than 33%. This is not a quota within a general announcement: it is a specific and exclusive announcement for this group.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution announces a selective process by open competition to fill 3 career civil service positions in the General Services Assistant Scale of the University of Granada. The essential conditions are:
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Access system | Open competition (general system) |
| Exclusive group | People with intellectual disabilities ≥33% |
| Classification subgroup | C2 |
| Position name | Facilities Assistant |
| Minimum qualification | Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) or equivalent |
| Exclusion | Not already a career civil servant of this scale at UGR |
| Adaptations | Adaptations of time and means can be requested, accredited through technical report |
| Fees | Full exemption from participation fees |
| Start of tests | No earlier than March 1, 2027 |
The possibility of requesting adaptations of time and means is a key element: applicants who need special conditions to take the tests must accredit this through a technical report at the time of application, not afterwards.
Economic and operational impact
For applicants, the immediate economic impact is positive: the full exemption from fees eliminates the usual economic barrier in public employment selection processes. There is no registration cost.
In terms of job stability, accessing a career civil service position in subgroup C2 means:
- Indefinite employment with civil service status, with the stability guarantees inherent to the public sector.
- Compensation linked to subgroup C2 of the administration and services personnel agreement of Andalusian public universities.
- Access to rights such as continuous training, career development and work-life balance regulated by the Basic Statute of Public Employees.
For entities and associations that support the labor insertion of people with intellectual disabilities, this announcement represents a concrete opportunity that they must communicate to their users with maximum urgency, given the deadline of only 15 business days.
Who does it affect?
- People with recognized intellectual disabilities equal to or greater than 33% who want to access university public employment.
- Applicants who have the ESO or equivalent title as minimum qualification.
- People who are not already career civil servants of the General Services Assistant Scale at the University of Granada.
- Associations, foundations and entities supporting people with intellectual disabilities (FEAPS/Plena Inclusión and associated entities) that must inform their users.
- Families and legal guardians of people with intellectual disabilities of working age who can meet the requirements.
- Labor counselors and employment services specialized in disability.
Practical example
A 28-year-old person with Down syndrome, with a recognized degree of intellectual disability of 45% and in possession of the ESO title, resident in Granada, can submit their application for these 3 Facilities Assistant positions at UGR.
The process would be as follows:
- Submit their application within the 15 business days from October 12, 2026 (without paying fees).
- In the same application, attach the technical report that accredits the adaptations of time and means they need to take the tests.
- Wait for the tests to be announced, knowing that they will not begin before March 1, 2027.
- If they pass the selective process, they will be admitted as a career civil servant in subgroup C2 of UGR with all the guarantees of public employment.
This person does not compete with other applicants from general announcements: the process is exclusive for people with intellectual disabilities, which concentrates competition within the specific group.
What should applicants do now?
- Verify the recognized disability degree: Check that the official certificate accredits intellectual disability equal to or greater than 33%. If it is not up to date, manage it urgently.
- Confirm the qualification: Have the ESO title or equivalent on hand, as it is an essential requirement to participate.
- Calculate the application deadline: The deadline is 15 business days from October 12, 2026. Do not wait until the last day: remote submission systems can become overloaded.
- Prepare the technical report if adaptations are needed: If the applicant requires more time or special means for the tests, they must obtain the technical report before submitting the application, not afterwards.
- Verify exclusion by incompatibility: Confirm that you are not already a career civil servant of the General Services Assistant Scale at UGR, as in that case you cannot participate.
- Support entities: Associations and labor counselors must communicate this announcement to their users immediately, given the extremely short deadline.
