Appointment of New Career Officials in the Canary Islands Public Service

Background

• The Canary Islands' Public Service Department has officially appointed new career officials for the Technical Body of Prevention within the regional administration.
• This follows the February 2025 resolution from the General Directorate of Public Function, which selected candidates through a competitive examination process announced in December 2022.

Recent Legislation and Employment Management Strategies

• This appointment is part of recent efforts to manage public employment more effectively.
• The legislation introduced in June 2025 aims at:
  • Reducing temporary staffing
  • Improving efficiency
• The law establishes clear rules for forming employment lists, prioritizing candidates who have completed all mandatory exams during their selection process.

Employment Lists and Selection Process

• Applicants who participated in the tests but did not secure a position have had the option to be included in the new employment lists, which are now published online.
• These lists are divided into two turns:
  • Candidates who passed all required exams but did not get a spot.
  • Candidates who did not fully pass but expressed interest in remaining in the pool.

Duration and Updates of Employment Lists

• The lists will remain active until a new list is published.
• Afterward, all future appointments will be made from the most recent list.

Transparency and Appeals

"The government emphasizes transparency and efficiency, allowing applicants to appeal the decision either through administrative channels within one month or via the courts within two months."

Goals

• To better organize regional public sector staffing.
• Ensure urgent needs are met more swiftly and reliably.
