Canary Islands Government Appoints Permanent Staff to Stabilize Public Employment

The Canary Islands government has officially appointed several candidates as permanent staff in a rapid move to stabilize public employment.

This decision follows a series of selection processes conducted earlier this year, with the selected applicants now set to sign fixed-term contracts between October 10 and October 17, 2025.

Once they sign their contracts, new hires will take their official positions between October 27 and November 10, 2025.

Objectives and Broader Context

• The measure aims to reduce job instability in public administration.
• It is part of broader efforts to streamline employment in response to urgent needs for effective governance, especially in areas like justice, security, and public administration.
• The move is aligned with Spain's initiatives to professionalize and secure its civil service.

Requirements and Provisions

• Those selected will need to commit to at least two years of active service.
• It reinforces the community’s commitment to creating stable, long-term public employment.
• The announcement underscores the government’s focus on transparency and efficiency, providing clear deadlines for:
  • Contract signing (October 10-17, 2025)
  • Taking office (October 27-November 10, 2025)
• Includes provisions for the automatic resignation of temporary staff who are replaced by these permanent hires, further consolidating workforce stability.

Implications and Legal Details

The official resolutions are published in the Government’s Bulletin and are subject to legal contestation within two months.

• This development has significant implications for residents, especially those affected by past employment instability.
• Highlights a broader push for more secure, professional public services in the Canary Islands.
