8 Judicial Assistance Positions in Cantabria: Destinations and Deadlines for Candidates 2026

Key data

Candidates who passed the extraordinary selection process for access to the Judicial Assistance Corps of the Administration of Justice—called by Order JUS/1327/2022, of December 28—now have the opportunity to request a position in Cantabria. Order PRE/56/2026 publishes 8 vacant positions in three municipalities of the autonomous community, with an application deadline of 10 business days from its publication in the BOE on June 5, 2026.

The process is strictly electronic and requires electronic signature. Understanding the details of the procedure—and the risks of not complying correctly—is crucial to obtaining the desired position.

What does this regulation establish?

Order PRE/56/2026 publishes the list of positions in the Judicial Assistance Corps of the Administration of Justice corresponding to Cantabria that remained vacant in the extraordinary selection process called by Order JUS/1327/2022. These positions are now offered to candidates approved in that process so they can choose their final destination.

The available positions are distributed among the following municipalities:

The rules of the application procedure are as follows:

• Deadline: 10 business days from publication in the BOE (June 5, 2026).
• Channel: Electronic application through the Electronic Registry of the Government of Cantabria, with mandatory electronic signature.
• Minimum positions to request: Each candidate must include in their application at least as many positions as their assigned candidate number.
• Risk for non-compliance: If a candidate does not request the required minimum, they will be assigned a position forcibly by alphabetical order.
• Nature of the position: The assigned position is final. Officials will not be able to participate in transfer competitions until two years have elapsed since assignment.

Economic and operational impact

For approved candidates, this call represents the final step toward effective incorporation into the Judicial Assistance Corps. The position assigned in this process is final, which implies very specific practical consequences:

• Mobility blocked for 2 years: Once the position is assigned, the official will not be able to request a transfer until two years have elapsed. This directly affects personal and family planning.
• Risk of unwanted position: Failing to request the minimum number of positions equivalent to your candidate number results in forced assignment by alphabetical order, without possibility of choice.
• Limited opportunity window: The 10 business day deadline is strict. Failing to submit the application on time and in proper form may result in losing the position or receiving an unpreferred destination.
• Operational cost of the procedure: The application requires a valid electronic signature certificate and access to the Electronic Registry of the Government of Cantabria. Candidates who do not have these means must obtain them before the deadline expires.

Who does it affect?

• Candidates who passed the extraordinary selection process for access to the Judicial Assistance Corps of the Administration of Justice called by Order JUS/1327/2022, of December 28.
• Applicants with an assigned candidate number in that process who do not yet have a final position assigned in Cantabria.
• Officials awaiting position assignment who wish to apply for positions in Santoña, Castro Urdiales or Santander.

Practical example

A candidate approved in the JUS/1327/2022 process has been assigned candidate number 5. According to the regulation, they must include in their electronic application a minimum of 5 positions out of the 8 available in Cantabria (Santoña, Castro Urdiales and Santander). If they only request 3 positions—below their candidate number—the administration will assign them a position forcibly following alphabetical order of surnames, without taking their preferences into account.

If the application is submitted correctly within the 10 business days and they are assigned, for example, a position in Santoña, that position will be final and they will not be able to request a transfer until at least June 2028.

What should candidates do now?

1. Verify your assigned candidate number in the JUS/1327/2022 selection process, as it determines the minimum number of positions you must include in your application.
2. Check that you have a valid electronic signature (DNIe, digital certificate or Cl@ve) before the deadline expires. Without it, you will not be able to submit your application.
3. Access the Electronic Registry of the Government of Cantabria and complete the position request form including at least as many positions as your candidate number.
4. Submit the application within 10 business days from June 5, 2026. Do not wait until the last day: technical problems with electronic signature are frequent.
5. Save the submission receipt from the Electronic Registry as proof that the application was delivered on time and in proper form.
6. Plan long-term mobility keeping in mind that the assigned position will be final and you will not be able to participate in transfer competitions for the two years following assignment.
