Benidorm announces eleven positions for receptionists at schools reserved for people with functional diversity

Benidorm City Council has called for selective tests for the provision of eleven municipal positions for receptionists, as permanent staff, which will be reserved entirely for people with functional diversity. The Councilor for Human Resources, Ana Soliveres, has indicated that the selection of personnel will be carried out by an open competition system and that the rules of the call, approved on January 2 by the Local Government Board, were published last January 30 in the Official Gazette of the Province of Alicante (BOP), with a period of 20 business days from the day following its publication for the presentation of applications.

In addition to filling the existing receptionist vacancies in municipal buildings and facilities, this selective process will allow the creation of a job listing with people who have passed the selective tests but do not obtain a post, "so from now on we will also have a resource to be able to quickly incorporate personnel into the workforce temporarily when there is a vacancy or any type of eventuality occurs,” according to the Human Resources councillor.

Ana Solvieres has explained that the rules of the call establish that any person over 16 years of age who has not reached retirement age, who has not been previously separated or disqualified from public service, and who, in addition, possesses the physical and mental capabilities and aptitudes that are necessary to perform the corresponding functions or tasks of the position and has a recognized degree of functional diversity equal to or greater than 33%.

The councilor has also detailed that among the functions that these employees will be entrusted with include opening and closing the facilities; guard all keys to the center; supervise the good condition of the facilities and control any damage; carry out work that, due to urgency or simplicity, cannot wait or does not require the presence of the Municipal Technical Services, such as repairing blinds, cisterns, replacing fluorescent lights, locks, etc.; communicate any defects or abnormal circumstances that are observed to your immediate superiors; Serve the public in person and by telephone, and appointments; fotocopies; deliver and collect forms; take documents for signature to other departments; assemble and dismantle the rooms, placing the furniture as required; check the rooms prior to closing the facilities, closing doors and windows, turning off the lights, closing taps, heating, air conditioning, etc.; as well as carry out any other task of his category that is entrusted to him and for which he has been previously instructed.

The selection process will consist of a total of three exercises. The first of them, mandatory and eliminatory, will be a multiple choice exam with a maximum of 30 questions on concepts included in the syllabus. The second, also mandatory and eliminatory, will be an exam with short theoretical questions proposed by the selection board on the subjects also contained in the syllabus. Finally, the third test will consist of carrying out one or more assumptions that the court determines immediately before the start of the test and which will deal with the required theoretical and practical knowledge, tasks, functions and competencies of the receptionist position.

The Councilor for Human Resources has concluded by indicating that the City Council will provide the applicants with all the adaptation measures they need to be able to carry out the tests in optimal conditions and that each of them must record it in the instance for the knowledge of the Consistory. These measures include the elimination of architectural barriers and a table adapted to wheelchairs; extension of the duration of the test, for which they must present a certificate issued by the competent official body that specifies the diagnosis and the extension time required, expressed in several minutes; increase in the size of the characters on the questionnaire, due to vision difficulties; need for an interpreter, due to functional hearing diversity; Braille writing system, or help from a blind person; or others.
