The Oñati City Council has announced a temporary call for applications for the Social Services Manager position, which will involve directorial and management responsibilities. Applications are open until October 17th.

The Oñati City Council has issued a call for applications to temporarily fill the position of Social Services Manager. This role will encompass not only the functions of a social worker but also the responsibility to direct, organize, plan, and coordinate the department's operations, its staff, and associated facilities. Additionally, the manager will be tasked with designing, guiding, managing, and evaluating municipal policies within their area of competence, and distributing workloads among staff, alongside their training.
To be eligible for this position, candidates must meet two fundamental requirements: firstly, possess a diploma or university degree (or equivalent) in Social Work; and secondly, have a level 4.HE or C2 proficiency in Basque. If no candidates meet this level, those with a level 3.HE (C1 or EGA) will be considered, either in a secondary capacity or as substitutes.
The call for applications to temporarily fill the Social Services Manager position has been published through Lanbide, and applications must be submitted via their web portal. Saturday, October 17th, is the final deadline for registration. The selection process will consist of two phases: the first will evaluate work experience and other merits verified through documentation, while the second will involve a personal interview to assess candidates' professional capabilities and suitability for the role. Only those candidates who achieve the highest scores in the first phase will advance to this second stage.
