Canary Islands Government Appoints New Fixed Staff After Employment Stabilization Process
Canary Islands Government Announces Transition of Temporary Employees to Permanent Staff
Background
The Canary Islands government announced the formal hiring of several temporary employees as permanent staff, following a broader push to stabilize public employment.
The resolution, issued on April 9, 2026, confirms the end of a suspension period for select candidates, allowing them to take their positions between April 24 and May 8, 2026.
This move aims to reduce job insecurity within the public sector and ensure a more stable workforce.
Legal and Policy Context
The process is part of efforts to comply with recent laws designed to diminish temporary contracts and improve public employment quality in the Canary Islands.
Notably, candidates like Teresita de JesĂșs Cubas GonzĂĄlez and Inmaculada Santana HenrĂquez, previously suspended due to justified force majeure, are now cleared to finalize their appointments.
Appointment Process
The resolution provides detailed instructions for the appointment process, including:
- Signing contracts electronically within specified dates
- Formalizing the start date
Once hired, these staff members must remain in active service for at least two years, aligning with legal requirements aimed at stability.
Transition and Employment Security
The announcement also stipulates that temporary personnel who are not selected will be notified of their termination, with specific procedures for transitioning from temporary to fixed employment.
"This is a transparent, legally approved effort to improve workforce stability across the public administration in the Canary Islands."

- Formal hiring of temporary employees as permanent staff
