19 Social Educator Positions in Mallorca: 2026 Call

Key data

The Mallorcan Institute of Social Affairs (IMAS) announces 19 Social Educator positions through competitive examination, published in the BOE of June 18, 2026 (reference BOE-A-2026-13243). It is one of the most relevant public employment calls in the social field in Mallorca for this year, with positions distributed among open competition, internal promotion and reserve for people with disabilities.

What does this call establish?

The resolution of the Consell Insular de Mallorca announces a selection process to fill 19 Social Educator positions belonging to the Special Administration scale, Technical subscale, Middle class. The distribution of positions by category is as follows:

The selection system is competitive examination in all three categories. This means the final score combines an examination phase (eliminatory tests) and a competition phase (assessment of merits such as professional experience, complementary training, etc.). The exact details of each phase, syllabi, merit scales and qualification requirements are found in the complete bases published in the Official Bulletin of Illes Balears (BOIB) no. 72, June 9, 2026.

Economic and operational impact

For candidates, accessing one of these positions means joining the local public service of Mallorca with the remuneration conditions and stability inherent to the Special Administration scale, Technical subscale, Middle class. Although the call does not detail the destination supplement level or exact remuneration, the Middle Technical category in Balearic local administration typically implies salary conditions regulated by the collective agreement of the Consell Insular de Mallorca.

For IMAS, the incorporation of 19 social educators strengthens the operational capacity of island social services, filling positions that may have been occupied temporarily or on an interim basis. The call also responds to public employment stabilization obligations derived from state regulations on reducing temporary employment.

Who does it affect?

• Social Education graduates wishing to access local public service in Mallorca through open competition.
• Active civil servants of IMAS or the Consell Insular de Mallorca seeking internal promotion (2 reserved positions).
• People with recognized disabilities with Social Education qualifications applying for the 3 reserved positions.
• Entities and organizations of the social third sector in Mallorca competing with public administration for qualified social educator profiles.
• Social services professionals currently working as temporary or interim staff at IMAS who may have their situation regularized.

Practical example

A social educator with three years of experience in municipal social services in Mallorca and a university degree in Social Education can apply to the open competition, which concentrates 14 of the 19 positions. If she also has a recognized disability equal to or greater than 33%, she can simultaneously apply to the disability reserve category (3 positions), which expands her access opportunities.

A career civil servant at IMAS currently holding a lower category position can apply to the 2 internal promotion positions, competing only with other active civil servants and with a merit scale adapted to internal trajectory. In all cases, the process is competitive examination: passing the eliminatory tests is a necessary condition before merits are assessed.

The application submission deadline is 20 calendar days from June 19, 2026, placing the approximate final date around July 8, 2026 (subject to confirmation according to exact calendar day calculation).

1. Consult the complete bases in BOIB no. 72 (June 9, 2026) to verify qualification requirements, assessable merits in the competition phase and the application submission procedure.
