Positions in Algeciras and Huelva for Procedural Processing Candidates: 10 Business Days Deadline

Key data

Those approved on the supplementary lists of the selective process for the Body of Procedural and Administrative Processing of the Administration of Justice now have a concrete window of opportunity: the Andalusian Regional Government has published the vacant positions in its territory and the deadline to request them is only 10 business days. The regulatory reference is the Resolution of October 22, 2026 (BOE-A-2026-23202), published on November 5, 2026.

Failing to act is equivalent to losing the ability to choose: the regulation expressly establishes that whoever does not submit an application or does not request sufficient positions will receive a forced position assigned by alphabetical order of municipalities.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution publishes the positions that have remained vacant in Andalusia following the main selective process called by the Order JUS/1288/2022, of December 22, and makes them available to applicants who appear on the supplementary lists of that same process.

The available positions and their characteristics are as follows:

The rules of the allocation procedure are as follows:

• Application deadline: 10 business days from publication in the Official Gazette (from November 5, 2026).
• Preferred method: electronic submission of the position request.
• Forced position: if no application is submitted or insufficient positions are requested, a position is assigned by alphabetical order of municipalities.
• Definitive nature: the assigned position is definitive.
• Mobility restriction: civil servants will not be able to compete until two years have elapsed since the assignment of the position.

Economic and operational impact

For the approved candidate, the impact of this resolution is direct and immediate. The most relevant operational consequences are:

• Definitive position: the assigned post is not provisional. It implies actual transfer, potential change of residence and job stability in that municipality for at least two years.
• Cost of inaction: not submitting an application within the 10 business days means losing the ability to choose between Algeciras and Huelva. The forced position is assigned by alphabetical order, which may result in the least convenient municipality for the candidate.
• Mobility freeze for two years: once the position is assigned, the civil servant is excluded from any transfer competition for 24 months. This has direct implications for personal and family planning.
• Specific functions: both positions correspond to civil and criminal enforcement, which defines the work profile from day one.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates who passed the selective process called by the Order JUS/1288/2022 and appear on the supplementary lists for the territorial scope of Andalusia.
• Applicants to the Body of Procedural and Administrative Processing of the Administration of Justice through the general open access system.
• Professionals who were waiting for a position in Andalusia and did not obtain a post in the main allocation.

This resolution does not affect candidates from other autonomous communities, nor those who participated in selective processes other than the one called by Order JUS/1288/2022.

Practical example

Suppose a candidate appears on the supplementary lists and has their usual residence in Seville. When this resolution is published on November 5, 2026, they have 10 business days to submit their position request.

If they submit an application indicating a preference for Huelva (due to geographical proximity to Seville), they have real options to obtain that position. If they do not submit any application within the deadline, the regulation establishes that they will be assigned a forced position by alphabetical order of municipalities: in this case, Algeciras would come before Huelva in alphabetical order, so they could end up assigned to Algeciras without having been able to express any preference.

Once the position is assigned—whether Algeciras or Huelva—the civil servant will not be able to participate in any transfer competition until two full years have elapsed since that assignment.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify if you are on the supplementary lists of the selective process called by Order JUS/1288/2022 for the scope of Andalusia. If you are not certain, consult the official resolution in the Official Gazette.
2. Calculate the exact deadline: the 10 business days begin on November 5, 2026. Subtract Saturdays, Sundays and official holidays to know the exact deadline for submission.
3. Prepare and submit your position request electronically, which is the preferred method established in the resolution. Indicate your preference between Algeciras (Cádiz) and Huelva.
4. Request both positions if you have doubts about which you prefer: it is better to rank them by preference than not to request any and risk a forced position by alphabetical order.
5. Plan your mobility: remember that the assigned position is definitive and you will not be able to compete for transfers for the following two years. Consider the personal, family and economic implications before ordering your preferences.
