Chief of Oncological Radiotherapy Bilbao-Basurto 2026: requirements and deadlines

Key data

The position of Chief of Oncological Radiotherapy Service at Bilbao-Basurto Hospital is vacant and the Integrated Healthcare Organization (OSI) Bilbao-Basurto has published the formal call to fill it through a merit-based competition. Resolution 2424/2026, of March 20, establishes the complete procedure: access requirements, evaluation phases, minimum scores and composition of the evaluation committee.

This is a high-level clinical and management healthcare service chief position, which means that the process is not limited to demonstrating clinical experience: the candidate must also demonstrate management capacity through a management project that is defended in a public session.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution convenes a merit-based competition to fill the Chief position of the Oncological Radiotherapy Service, currently vacant at OSI Bilbao-Basurto. The process is structured in two differentiated phases:

To be appointed to the position, the candidate must exceed both thresholds simultaneously: half of the maximum total score of the competition and half of the maximum score of the management project section.

The access requirements are as follows:

• Be permanent statutory staff, civil servant or permanent employee.
• Belong to group A1.
• Possess the required qualification and specialty for the position (Oncological Radiotherapy).
• Demonstrate a minimum of 4 years of experience in the specialty.

The evaluation committee will include a member designated by IVAP (Basque Institute of Public Administration) and its composition will respect the principle of gender parity.

Economic and operational impact

From an operational perspective, this call has direct consequences for the management of the Oncological Radiotherapy Service at Bilbao-Basurto Hospital:

• Active vacancy: the position is currently unfilled, which may mean that service management falls provisionally to another professional or to the OSI management itself.
• Competitive process with double threshold: the requirement to exceed 50% in the management project and 50% in the total score raises the level of demand compared to merit competitions that only evaluate curriculum records.
• Tight deadline: 15 business days from the last publication in official bulletins is a short period to prepare and submit documentation, especially the management project.
• National scope: candidates from any autonomous community who meet the requirements for permanent statutory employment can apply, which expands the competitive pool beyond the OSI's own staff.

Who does it affect?

• Medical specialists in Oncological Radiotherapy with permanent statutory, civil service or permanent employment status in any Spanish public healthcare administration.
• Group A1 staff with at least 4 years of accredited experience in the specialty.
• Professionals currently at OSI Bilbao-Basurto or in other integrated healthcare organizations in the Basque Country (Osakidetza).
• Specialists from other autonomous communities who meet the required employment and qualification requirements.

Practical example

A medical specialist in Oncological Radiotherapy with a permanent statutory position in group A1 at a public hospital in another autonomous community, with 6 years of experience in the specialty, meets the access requirements and can submit their candidacy within the 15 business day deadline.

To apply for the position, they must:

1. Prepare and submit a management project for the Oncological Radiotherapy Service, which they must defend publicly before the evaluation committee.
2. Compile and accredit their curriculum merits according to the competition scale (training, publications, previous positions, teaching activity, etc.).
3. Obtain in the defense of the management project a score equal to or greater than 50% of the maximum score for that phase. If they do not reach that threshold, they are excluded even if they have an excellent curriculum record.
4. Also reach 50% of the maximum total score of the competition by adding both phases.

If no candidates are presented who exceed both thresholds, the position could remain vacant and the OSI would have to convene a new process.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify compliance with requirements: confirm that you have permanent statutory or civil service employment in group A1 and that you have at least 4 years of experience in Oncological Radiotherapy.
2. Calculate the exact deadline: identify the date of the last publication in the corresponding official bulletins (BOE and the Basque Country autonomous bulletin) to determine the last business day for submitting applications.
3. Prepare the management project: this document is the differentiating element of the process. It must reflect a strategic and operational vision of the service. Given the tight deadline (15 business days), it is advisable to begin its preparation immediately.
4. Compile supporting documentation of merits: gather certificates of training, publications, teaching activity, previous positions and any merit assessable according to the competition scale.
5. Submit the application in time and form: follow the submission procedure indicated in the resolution, respecting the required channel and format to avoid exclusions due to formal defects.
6. Consult the complete resolution in the BOE: verify the details of the scale, the composition of the committee and any additional requirements not summarized in this article. Access directly at BOE-A-2026-13229.
