UNED convenes through open access a Group III, Level B labor personnel position at the Technology Center (CTU. New Technologies and Projects), based in Madrid. The call, published in the BOE on September 21, 2026 (reference BOE-A-2026-19588), is activated because the position was left vacant in the previous internal promotion process, as allowed by the III Collective Agreement for Technical, Management and Administration and Services Personnel (PTGAS) labor of UNED.
The process is a competitive examination, with two differentiated phases: opposition phase and competition phase. Candidates must prove Spanish nationality or equivalent, be at least 16 years old and have a High School Diploma or Vocational Training Level 2 qualification.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution convenes selective tests to fill one labor personnel position at UNED under the general open access system. The legal basis is the III Collective Agreement of PTGAS labor of UNED, which allows opening the call to open access when the position is left vacant in the internal promotion process.
The key elements of the selective process are as follows:
| Element | Detail |
|---|---|
| Selective system | Competitive examination (opposition phase + competition phase) |
| Type of access | General open access system |
| Position | Labor personnel, Group III, Level B |
| Destination | Technology Center (CTU. New Technologies and Projects), Madrid |
| Required qualification | High School Diploma or Vocational Training Level 2 |
| Nationality | Spanish or equivalent recognized |
| Minimum age | 16 years |
| Exam fee | 20 euros |
| Registration channel | Exclusively electronic, through UNED's website |
| Application deadline | 20 working days from publication in the BOE (from 21/09/2026) |
Registration is carried out exclusively electronically through UNED's official website. Paper or in-person applications are not accepted.
Economic and operational impact
From the candidate's perspective, the cost of participation is minimal: 20 euros exam fee. This is one of the lowest fees in the public sector, which reduces the entry barrier for anyone with the required qualification.
For UNED, the call represents filling a technical vacancy in its New Technologies and Projects area, a strategic center for the university's digital operation. The fact that the position was left vacant in internal promotion indicates that there were no internal candidates with the appropriate profile, which opens the door to external profiles with medium-level technical training.
Group III, Level B in the PTGAS collective agreement of UNED corresponds to qualified technical support positions, with remuneration and working conditions regulated by the current collective agreement. Selected candidates access a public employment position with the guarantees and stability inherent to the sector.
Who does it affect?
- People with High School Diploma or Vocational Training Level 2 qualification seeking stable public employment in Madrid.
- Candidates with technical or support profile in New Technologies, given the destination center (CTU. New Technologies and Projects).
- People over 16 years old with Spanish nationality or equivalent who meet the access requirements.
- People who could not access through internal promotion in previous UNED calls and wish to try through open access.
- HR advisors and consultants who guide candidates toward public employment opportunities in the university sector.
Practical example
An IT support technician with a Vocational Training Level 2 qualification in Microcomputer Systems and Networks, resident in Madrid, can apply to this call by paying 20 euros fee and registering through UNED's website within the 20 working days following September 21, 2026.
The process they will face consists of two phases: first the opposition phase (theoretical and/or practical tests) and then the competition phase (merit evaluation). If they pass both phases, they access a permanent labor personnel position at UNED's Technology Center in Madrid, with the remuneration and working conditions of Group III, Level B of the III Collective Agreement of PTGAS labor of UNED.
