Two job positions in the General Sub-directorate of Assistance to Municipalities of the Community of Madrid are being offered through free appointment. They are reserved exclusively for Local Administration civil servants with national qualification, Secretary-Intervention sub-scale, and offer specific allowances of 31,585.68 € and 29,304.60 € annually. The call was published in the BOE on July 17, 2026 through a Resolution from the General Directorate of Public Service.
The provision system chosen is free appointment, which grants the calling Administration a margin of discretion in selection, always within the framework of Royal Decree 128/2018 and article 92 bis of Law 7/1985, on the Bases of Local Government.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution calls for the provision of two job positions through the free appointment system in the General Sub-directorate of Assistance to Municipalities of the Community of Madrid. The positions are reserved for civil service personnel from Local Administration with national qualification, specifically from the Secretary-Intervention sub-scale.
The economic details and conditions for each position are as follows:
| Position | Annual specific allowance | Provision system | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Position 1 | 31,585.68 € | Free appointment | General Sub-directorate of Assistance to Municipalities (Community of Madrid) |
| Position 2 | 29,304.60 € | Free appointment | General Sub-directorate of Assistance to Municipalities (Community of Madrid) |
The applicable regulatory framework is as follows:
- Article 92 bis of Law 7/1985, on the Bases of Local Government: regulates civil servants with national qualification.
- Royal Decree 128/2018: regulates the legal regime of Local Administration civil servants with national qualification.
- Article 36.2 a), b) and c) of RD 128/2018: establishes the situations that exclude a civil servant from participating in provision calls.
Against the provision resolution, a motion for reconsideration may be filed within one month or contentious-administrative appeal within two months before the Superior Court of Justice of Madrid.
Economic and operational impact
For the civil servant who obtains either of the two positions, the economic impact is significant. The specific allowance is the complementary remuneration that compensates for the particular conditions of the position (special technical difficulty, dedication, responsibility, incompatibility). In this case:
- Position 1 offers 31,585.68 € annually in specific allowance, which amounts to approximately 2,632 € gross monthly for this concept alone.
- Position 2 offers 29,304.60 € annually, equivalent to about 2,442 € gross monthly in specific allowance.
These amounts are added to the base salary, seniority bonuses and position allowance corresponding to the level of the position, making these vacancies economically attractive destinations within the national qualified civil servants scale.
From an operational perspective, the free appointment system means that the calling Administration discretionally evaluates the suitability of candidates, without following an objective scale as in merit-based competition. This requires interested parties to present a solid and well-argued candidacy.
Who does it affect?
- Local Administration civil servants with national qualification, Secretary-Intervention sub-scale, in active service.
- Excluded are those in any of the situations provided for in article 36.2 a), b) and c) of RD 128/2018 (for example, situations of suspension, voluntary leave without position reservation or other exclusion causes established by that article).
- Municipalities and local entities in the Community of Madrid that currently have these civil servants in their staffing and may see their coverage affected if any of their qualified personnel applies for and obtains the position.
Practical example
A Local Administration civil servant with national qualification in the Secretary-Intervention sub-scale who currently holds a position in a small Madrid municipality with a specific allowance of 18,000 € annually could apply for Position 1 of this call. If selected, their specific allowance would increase to 31,585.68 € annually, which represents an increase of more than 13,500 € gross per year in this remuneration concept alone.
To do so, they must submit their application to the calling corporation (General Sub-directorate of Assistance to Municipalities of the Community of Madrid) within 15 business days following July 17, 2026, certifying that they are not in any of the exclusion situations of article 36.2 a), b) and c) of RD 128/2018.
What should interested parties do now?
- Verify eligibility: Check that you belong to the Secretary-Intervention sub-scale with national qualification and that you are not in any of the situations of article 36.2 a), b) and c) of RD 128/2018.
- Calculate the deadline: The 15 business day deadline begins on July 17, 2026. Identify the exact deadline by excluding Saturdays, Sundays and official holidays in the Community of Madrid.
- Prepare the application: Draft and document the candidacy for the free appointment system, highlighting suitability for the position in the General Sub-directorate of Assistance to Municipalities.
- Submit to the calling corporation: Direct the application to the General Sub-directorate of Assistance to Municipalities of the Community of Madrid within the established deadline.
