The Miguel Hernández University of Elche announces 5 career civil servant positions through open competition, published in the BOE of October 19, 2026. All positions are filled by replacement rate and in open competition, meaning they are open to any candidate who meets the requirements, without internal quota reservation.

The complete rules of the announcement were published in the Official Gazette of the Valencian Community (DOGV) on September 30 and October 1, 2026.

Economic and operational impact
For candidates, accessing a career civil servant position at UMH means job stability, compensation linked to the professional classification subgroups of public employment, and rights inherent to civil servant status.
- Subgroup A1 (Senior Legal Technician): requires university degree or equivalent qualification. It is the highest compensation subgroup of those announced.
- Subgroup A2 (Middle Technician and Middle Technician in Statistics): requires university degree or equivalent short-cycle qualification. Intermediate compensation level.
- Subgroup C1 (Basic Sports): requires high school diploma or equivalent. Entry-level compensation.
From an operational perspective, UMH fills these positions by replacement rate, which means they respond to vacancies generated by permanent departures (retirements, resignations, etc.) and do not represent a net increase in staff. The process is open competition, with no access restrictions based on internal origin.
Who does it affect?
- Law graduates or degree holders in other legal qualifications who want to access public employment in universities (A1 positions).
- Diploma holders or university graduates interested in technical management or statistics positions in university administration (A2 positions).
- People with high school diploma or equivalent with a sports profile seeking stable public employment (C1 position).
- Active civil service exam candidates preparing for access to public administration in the Valencian Community university sector.
- Temporary or interim workers at UMH itself who wish to consolidate their situation through open competition.
