The Chamber of Deputies has published two job postings at the beginning of January, with the deadline for applications set for February 26th. One of the competitions is to fill 100 positions as parliamentary assistants, reserved for high school graduates under 40 years of age. Another competition is for 116 openings as executive officials in the Public Administration, with successful candidates being assigned to various public entities. Applicants already employed by the Chamber of Deputies are exempt from the age requirement.
The selection process for parliamentary assistants involves a pre-selection test, two written tests, and an oral exam. For executive officials, there are six tests to pass, including a pre-selection, four written tests, and an oral exam. Parliamentary assistants receive an annual salary of 70,000 euros initially, which can increase to over 180,000 euros gross after 20 years of service, and reach 240,000 euros gross after 30 years. Their responsibilities include overseeing the premises, controlling entry points, welcoming visitors, and assisting during sessions and committee meetings.
Executive officials, on the other hand, manage the offices and other structures within the Chamber, providing legal and technical support to the elected members. To apply for these positions, candidates must have a digital identity and a certified email (PEC).
