Valencia Provincial Council Competitive Examinations 2026: positions, requirements and deadlines

Key data

The Valencia Provincial Council is opening a new public employment call in 2026 to fill several positions through the corresponding selection procedures. The resolution, published in the Official Gazette on 18 April 2026 with reference BOE-A-2026-8519, establishes the general rules governing the selection process.

This call is part of the provincial corporation's public employment offer for 2026. It does not generate obligations for private companies or self-employed workers, but it is relevant for anyone wishing to join the Valencian provincial administration.

What does this regulation establish?

The resolution of the Valencia Provincial Council establishes the rules that will govern the selection process to fill several positions in its workforce. The key elements of the call are as follows:

The specific selection system applicable to each position depends on its nature. The competitive examination evaluates knowledge through elimination tests; the competitive examination with merit assessment combines tests with merit assessment; and merit-based selection exclusively assesses the candidate's professional and educational background.

Economic and operational impact

This call does not generate direct costs for private companies. Its impact is relevant in two areas:

• For applicants: It represents an opportunity to access stable public employment in the Valencia provincial administration, with the remuneration and stability conditions typical of local public employment.
• For companies: In sectors with high demand for technical or administrative profiles, the opening of selection processes in the administration can generate rotation of qualified personnel who opt for the stability of the public sector.

The resolution does not specify the exact number of positions called or the associated remuneration levels. These specific details are contained in the specific rules for each position, published in the Official Gazette and in the provincial bulletin.

Who does it affect?

• Citizens seeking public employment who wish to join the Valencia Provincial Council.
• Private sector professionals who meet the qualification and nationality requirements set out in the specific rules.
• Active candidates who are already preparing for access to the Valencian local administration.
• Public employees from other administrations who wish to apply for positions at the Valencia Provincial Council through merit-based selection or competitive examination with merit assessment.

This regulation does not affect private companies, self-employed workers or SMEs in terms of obligations or costs. There are no sanctions or compliance requirements for the private sector arising from this resolution.

Practical example

A technician with a university degree who wishes to access a position at the Valencia Provincial Council must follow this process according to the call:

1. Consult the specific rules published in the Official Gazette and in the Valencia provincial bulletin to learn about the number of positions, the required level and the required qualifications.
2. Verify that you meet the qualification and nationality requirements established in these rules.
3. Identify the selection system applicable to your position: if it is a competitive examination, you will need to prepare for knowledge tests; if it is merit-based selection, you will need to document your experience and training.
4. Submit your application within the deadline published in the Official Gazette and provincial bulletin, without waiting until the last moment to avoid technical or administrative problems.

Failure to meet the application submission deadline results in automatic exclusion from the selection process, with no possibility of correction in most public calls.
