The Spanish Parliament is offering 40 positions for the Body of Ushers through public opposition, with access through the open category and disability category. The joint Resolution from the Presidencies of the Congress of Deputies and the Senate, published on July 23, 2026 in the Official State Gazette, activates a selection process governed by constitutional principles of equality, merit and capacity, as well as by the Equality Law.
The most urgent fact for any candidate: the application submission deadline begins on July 24, 2026 and extends for 15 business days. After that deadline, there is no second opportunity in this call.
What does this regulation establish?
The resolution convenes an opposition process to fill 40 positions in the Body of Ushers of the Spanish Parliament, distributed in two differentiated categories:
| Category | Positions | Required condition |
|---|---|---|
| Open category | 36 | No additional special condition |
| Disability category | 4 | Disability equal to or greater than 33% |
Positions in the disability category that remain unfilled are not lost: they automatically pass to the open category, thus guaranteeing maximum coverage of the 40 positions offered.
The access requirements established in the call are:
- Spanish nationality
- Legal age
- Secondary Education Certificate (ESO) or equivalent
- Not to have been separated from public service through disciplinary proceedings
The selection board must have a minimum of 6 members to be validly constituted and will resolve matters raised by majority vote.
Application submission is exclusively electronic, through the official websites of the Congress of Deputies or the Senate. Paper applications or submissions through other channels are not accepted.
Economic and operational impact
For candidates, this call represents an opportunity to access parliamentary public service, one of the sectors with the greatest job stability in Spain. The Body of Ushers of the Spanish Parliament is part of the parliamentary administration, with remuneration conditions and career development typical of public service bodies.
From an operational perspective, the critical aspects to consider are:
- Very tight deadline: 15 business days from July 24. In August, with holidays and non-business days, the actual margin may be less than it appears. It is advisable to calculate the exact deadline from the first day.
- Single application channel: Only electronic (Congress or Senate website). Anyone without an active digital certificate or cl@ve must obtain it before attempting to register.
- Disability accreditation: Candidates for the disability category must accredit a degree equal to or greater than 33% at the time of application.
Who does it affect?
This call directly affects:
- Spanish citizens of legal age with a Secondary Education Certificate or equivalent who want to access parliamentary public service
- People with recognized disabilities equal to or greater than 33% seeking stable public employment with a reserved position
- Candidates who have already participated in previous calls for the Body of Ushers and want to try again
- Public employment advisors, opposition preparation academies and job counselors working with these profiles
- HR departments of entities managing pools of public employment candidates
Practical example
A 28-year-old person with a Secondary Education Certificate, Spanish nationality and no history of separation from public service wants to apply for this opposition. These are the specific steps they must follow according to the call:
- Verify that they meet all requirements: Spanish nationality, legal age, Secondary Education Certificate or equivalent, no separation from public service.
- Access the Congress of Deputies or Senate website to locate the electronic application form.
- Submit the application within 15 business days from July 24, 2026. Since July and August include holidays, it is advisable to calculate the exact deadline with a business days calendar.
- Keep the electronic receipt of application submission as proof of registration.
If that same candidate had a recognized disability of 40%, they could apply for the disability category (4 positions), with less competition than the open category (36 positions), which statistically improves their chances of access.
What should candidates do now?
- Calculate the registration deadline: count 15 business days from July 24, 2026, excluding national and local holidays. Do not wait until the last day.
- Verify compliance with requirements: Spanish nationality, legal age, Secondary Education Certificate or equivalent and absence of separation from public service through disciplinary proceedings.
- Activate the digital certificate or cl@ve if you do not have it, since the application is exclusively electronic through the Congress or Senate websites.
- Gather supporting documentation: especially the Secondary Education Certificate and, in the case of the disability category, the official certificate proving a degree equal to or greater than 33%.
- Submit the electronic application through the website of the Congress of Deputies or the Senate within the established deadline.
- Save the submission receipt as proof of registration in the selection process.
