Canary Islands Government Appoints New Career Civil Servants

The Canary Islands government has officially appointed new career civil servants, finalizing a swift hiring process aimed at reducing temporary employment within the public sector. This move comes as part of broader efforts to improve job stability and efficiency in public administration, especially amid ongoing reforms under Law 2/2025. A total of selected candidates have been assigned permanent positions, with their appointment formalized through a recent official resolution.

Hiring Process and Conditions

The process was marked by an emphasis on urgency, allowing nominees to take their posts within 15 days of the publication. The resolution also mandates that those appointed must remain in active service for at least two years, ensuring workforce stability. Additionally, it stipulates:

• The cessation of previous temporary personnel
• That those who were not selected must step down from their interim roles

Significance and Impact

This development is significant for expats and residents alike, as it signals ongoing reforms to create a more stable and professional civil service, likely leading to more consistent public services. It also illustrates the government’s clear commitment to:

• Cutting bureaucracy
• Promoting long-term employment within the public sector

These measures align with broader efforts to enhance state efficiency in the Canary Islands.
