The Arrecife City Council is currently implementing its largest public employment offer in history, with approximately 50 new positions aimed at reinforcing public services with more technicians. The Department of Human Resources, led by Eli Merino, published this Friday in the Official Provincial Gazette (BOP) the list of admitted candidates, the members of the Examination Tribunal, and the exam schedule for over 100 applicants.
One of the objectives set by Mayor Yonathan de León for this term is to incorporate more professionals to enhance public assistance and services. The Social Services Department of the City Council will soon be strengthened with 6 new social workers, as part of this extensive public employment offer.
The official publication in the BOP, signed by councilwoman Eli Merino, calls for the first examination for candidates aspiring to fill these 6 Social Worker positions. Admitted candidates are summoned for the first exercise, which will take place on November 20.
These positions were initially advertised through the Official State Gazette (BOE) last summer and are part of a comprehensive plan to modernize and reinforce all public services offered by the Arrecife City Council.
Mayor Yonathan de León and Human Resources councilwoman Eli Merino have coordinated with various Municipal Departments to identify the need for technicians to address staffing shortages. "Public administrations in Spain have been hampered by the absence of State Budgets for several consecutive years, and the inability of Local Corporations to access new avenues for increasing their workforces due to the non-abolition of the so-called replacement rate," emphasized Eli Merino.
This Friday's BOP, November 13, publishes the definitive list of admitted and excluded candidates, with over 120 university professionals applying, including individuals with disabilities for one of the reserved positions. The official announcement includes the composition of the Qualifying Tribunal and the schedule for the selection tests for the six Social Worker positions.
This competitive examination process was included in BOE number 150, dated June 20, 2026, which opened the application period for the permanent appointment of the position: Designation/Category: Social Worker. Link: Civil Servant. Scale/Subscale: Special Administration/Technical Subscale. Group/Subgroup: A/A2. Number of positions affected: 6.
