The Valencian government affirms that it wants temporary employment to be below 8%.

The president of the Generalitat, Ximo Puig, has announced that the Consell will approve next Friday an extraordinary public employment offer that foresees the call for 22,721 places, mainly in the educational and health fields.

This was stated after holding a working meeting with the Minister of Finance and the Economic Model, Arcadi Spain; the regional secretary for Education and Vocational Training, Miguel Soler; the Autonomous Secretary for Health Efficiency and Technology, Concha Andrés, and the General Director of Public Administration, David Alfonso.

During his speech after the meeting, Puig has assured that it is the “most powerful” stabilization process approved by the Consell, with which it is intended to reduce the rate of structural temporary employment below 8%. Currently, the rate of interns stands at 25% in the educational field; in 30%, in Health; and reaches 50% in general administration.

The procedures will be convened before the end of 2022 and will take place between 2023 and 2024.

The extraordinary offer contemplates convening 9,736 in health, 9,152 in education and 3,833 in the public service, which are added to the different OPE already underway and that also open the possibility of incorporating people outside the administration. In addition, in the instrumental public sector, the stabilization proposal will be for more than 1,200 people.

As detailed, with the latest processes there has been an increase of nearly 14,000 jobs in Health, 13,000 in education, and 3,000 jobs in public administration, despite the fact that in this last area the Comunidad Valenciana is among the autonomies with the lowest number of administration personnel.

Specifically, the offer contemplates the call for 9,736 places in Health, of which 9,171 will be covered by merit competition. These places will be added to the 11,800 that are already called and whose examinations are being carried out in these months. In total, there will be more than 21,500 jobs in the health field to strengthen the system and guarantee greater job stability for Valencian health professionals.

In the educational field, the offer contemplates summoning 9,152 places for non-university teaching staff, both in Infant, Primary, Secondary, Baccalaureate and Vocational Training, of which 7,555 will be covered through merit competition and 1,597 through opposition competition. The total number of vacancies included in this proposal that has been brought to negotiation exceeds the volume of interim teaching staff that meets the requirements set for more than five years of seniority.

This procedure is totally independent from the ordinary oppositions, where newly created positions and retirement replacement positions are announced. Thus, the Ministry of Education continues with the oppositions for free admission in the body of teachers that begin this coming June with a total offer of 1,228 places corresponding to retirement replacement.

The total number of positions that will be called in the field of public service will be 3,833, of which 2,520 will be filled through a merit competition, 739 through internal promotion and 574 through opposition competition.

This extraordinary OPE adds to the stabilization processes that are already underway to cover 5,490 jobs, which will stabilize 8,584 jobs.
