Canary Islands Government Resumes Recruitment of Fixed-Term Public Workers

Background

The Canary Islands government has officially renewed its recruitment process for fixed-term public workers, lifting previous suspensions due to force majeure. After overcoming external challenges, selected candidates, including José Alberto Luis Yanes and Alfonso Ramón Afonso Pérez, will now proceed to formalize their employment contracts.

These appointments are part of the government's efforts to stabilize employment and reduce temporary positions in public administration, in accordance with recent legal reforms aimed at improving public sector job security.

Process Details

  • The process is time-sensitive.
  • Candidates must sign their contracts electronically on January 14 and 15, 2026.
  • They will take their official posts between January 19 and February 2.
  • Candidates must confirm their start date.

This move aims to:

  • Expedite staffing in vital government areas.
  • Enhance service delivery for residents.
  • Ensure a more stable public workforce.

Transparency and Commitments

The resolution also emphasizes the importance of transparency:

  • Those not selected will receive formal notifications of their contract termination.
  • Those appointed will be committed to remaining in their roles for at least two years.

Overall Impact

Overall, this development marks a significant step towards more stable employment in the Canary Islands' public sector, benefiting public services and public employees alike.
