What does this regulation establish?

The resolution from Almería City Council formally announces the selection process to fill 5 Psychologist positions. The structural aspects of the call are as follows:

The complete bases —which include qualification requirements, merits assessable in the competitive phase and the full development of the selection process phases— were published in the Official Bulletin of the Province of Almería no. 172, of September 7, 2026. It is essential to consult them before submitting the application, as the BOE resolution only formalizes the call and refers to that provincial bulletin for all details.

Subsequent announcements of the process (lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results) will be published as provided in the regulatory bases themselves.

Economic and operational impact

For applicants, obtaining a Psychologist position in the Senior Technical scale of a city council implies remuneration linked to the corresponding qualification group (usually Group A, Subgroup A1 in the classification of the Basic Statute of Public Employees), with the specific salary conditions set by Almería City Council in its job classification.

From an operational perspective, the process has two differentiated phases:

• Examination phase: objective tests that evaluate the knowledge and competencies required for the position.
• Competitive phase: assessment of merits (experience, training, etc.) according to the criteria established in the bases of BOP Almería no. 172.

The direct cost for the applicant includes the participation fee (whose specific amount appears in the provincial bases) and preparation expenses. Since this is open competition, there is no reservation of positions for internal promotion, which expands competition but also access.

• Qualified Psychologists seeking stable employment in local public administration.
• Active Psychologists in the private sector who want to move to public employment.
• Public employees from other administrations who wish to change location (open competition, no origin restriction).
• Recently qualified Psychology graduates who meet the qualification requirements established in the bases.
• Academies and competitive examination preparation centers in the healthcare and social sector, which must update their training offerings.
