The Móstoles City Council opens 7 stable public employment positions for professionals in three very different profiles: agricultural technical engineering, journalism and psychology. The call, published in the BOE of July 2, 2026 through the Resolution of June 23, 2026, activates the application period starting the next day: July 3, 2026.
These are fixed-term labor positions, which implies full job stability once the selection process is completed. The system chosen is the competitive examination in open competition, open to any candidate who meets the requirements established in the bases.
What does this call establish?
The resolution convenes a selective process of competitive examination in open competition to fill 7 fixed-term labor positions in the Móstoles City Council. The regulatory bases governing the process were previously published in the Official Gazette of the Community of Madrid (BOCM) number 146, of June 22, 2026.
These bases include the specific qualification requirements, the merits assessable in the competitive phase and other participation conditions for each of the categories convened. Subsequent announcements of the selection process—lists of admitted candidates, exam dates, results—will be published in accordance with what is established in the bases themselves.
| Professional category | Number of positions | Type of position | Selection system |
|---|---|---|---|
| Agricultural Technical Engineer | 1 | Fixed-term labor position | Competitive examination, open competition |
| Journalist | 2 | Fixed-term labor position | Competitive examination, open competition |
| Psychologist | 4 | Fixed-term labor position | Competitive examination, open competition |
Positions convened: complete detail
The distribution of the 7 positions shows a clear commitment by the Móstoles City Council to strengthen its psychological and social care services, with 4 of the 7 positions intended for psychologists (57% of the total convened). The 2 journalist positions point to strengthening municipal institutional communication, and the agricultural technical engineer position covers needs in green space management or environmental services.
From the candidate's perspective, the nature of fixed-term labor positions implies access to an indefinite contract with all the guarantees of public employment: stability, labor rights under the applicable collective agreement and access to career advancement in the local sphere.
The competitive examination process combines an examination phase (theoretical and/or practical tests) with a competitive phase (merit assessment: experience, training, etc.). The weights of each phase and the specific criteria are detailed in the bases published in the BOCM no. 146, of June 22, 2026.
Who does it affect?
- Agricultural technical engineers who wish to access stable public employment in the Madrid local administration.
- Journalists and communicators with qualifying qualifications seeking a permanent position in a city council.
- Qualified psychologists who want to develop their careers in the municipal public sector (4 available positions, the largest block of the call).
- Candidates in open competition: any person who meets the qualification requirements and other conditions set in the BOCM bases, without restriction of internal access.
- Public employment advisors and civil service preparation academies that prepare candidates for local administration positions in the Community of Madrid.
Practical example
A licensed psychologist with three years of experience in municipal social services decides to apply for one of the 4 Psychologist positions convened. The application period starts on July 3, 2026 and lasts 20 calendar days, so the approximate deadline for submitting applications would be July 22, 2026 (without prejudice to the last day falling on a holiday or weekend, in which case it would be extended to the next business day according to the bases).
Before submitting the application, you must consult the complete bases published in the BOCM no. 146, of June 22, 2026 to verify: the required qualifications, the merits that will be assessed in the competitive phase (previous experience, specific training, languages, etc.) and the official application form.
