Southern Gran Canaria is undergoing a significant restructuring of its civil service staff with the addition of four new officers to reinforce the judicial offices in the southern region. The official allocation of these positions, processed within the Canary Islands , will fill key posts in the tourist municipalities of San Bartolomé de Tirajana and Mogán , thus strengthening legal services in one of the island's most dynamic demographic and socioeconomic areas. This allocation follows successful completion of open competitive examinations, allowing the new civil servants to effectively integrate into the island's judicial structures after the conclusion of the competitive selection process.
Professionals assigned to the judicial bodies in the southern part of the island must formally take up their posts before the head of the destination office within the established period of twenty working days , with the official incorporation period beginning on September 1, 2026. To this end, officials must process the official credentials documentation sent by the competent bodies well in advance, ensuring a smooth transition in the daily management of the courts and common services. Those employees who already hold permanent positions in other bodies of the administration of justice may avail themselves of the options and leave of absence mechanisms provided for this purpose to avoid any interruption in their employment or the receipt of their salaries.
The arrival of these permanent staff members directly alleviates the accumulated workload in the judicial districts of southern Gran Canaria, while also allowing for the orderly dismissal of temporary staff who had been filling these positions. With this restructuring, the judicial administration seeks to provide greater stability and efficiency to the courts located in strategic areas such as San Bartolomé de Tirajana, where the litigation pressure stemming from tourism, commerce, and social activity demands a swift and sustained institutional response. Furthermore, applicable regulations stipulate that civil servants assigned by mandate or ordinary means, based on their preferred allocation criteria, must remain in their new posts for a minimum of two years before being eligible to participate in a new transfer competition, thus ensuring the continuity and integration of the public service in the region.
The administrative process also includes all legal safeguards regarding conflicts of interest and the resolution of any issues through the appropriate legal channels. With these appointments, scheduled for the beginning of September, southern Gran Canaria is taking a step forward in modernizing and staffing its judicial personnel , ensuring that the courts have the necessary staff to fully meet operational challenges and provide direct service to the public in the southern region.
