7 responsibility posts - Essaouira Province, Interior Ministry

Context of the call and advertised posts

Essaouira Province, under the Ministry of the Interior, has announced the opening of applications to fill 7 responsibility posts at head-of-service level, under order No. 41.660 issued in Essaouira on 12 November 2026. Applications are submitted exclusively online through the public employment portal, and the deadline for submission is 26 November 2026.

The seven posts correspond to the job sheets annexed to the order and cover varied areas of provincial activity, from financial and logistics affairs to civil status, social protection, collective land and studies and analysis. Each post is subject to specific conditions regarding administrative status, seniority and diploma, which should be checked before preparing an application.

Eligibility conditions for a head-of-service post

Applications are open to three categories of staff, each subject to its own conditions, which must not be extended to the others:

First category: civil servants and contract staff of the Ministry of the Interior

• Be a civil servant or contract staff member working at the Ministry of the Interior and charged to the general budget.
• Be classified at least in the grade of administrator of the second grade, or in the State engineer cadre, or in one of the grades with an equivalent index.
• Hold at least a certificate or diploma allowing access to the grade of administrator of the third grade or an equivalent grade.
• Have, on the date of publication of the order, at least two (2) years of effective service as a civil servant, or three (3) years for contract staff, in State administrations or territorial collectivities.

Second category: staff already performing head-of-service duties

Civil servants and contract staff of the Ministry of the Interior who, on the date of this notice, are performing head-of-service duties may also apply.

Third category: administrators of the third grade

• Civil servants and contract staff classified in the grade of administrator of the third grade or in one of the grades with an equivalent index.
• At least fifteen (15) years of effective service in State administrations or territorial collectivities, including at least four (4) years in that grade.

Note that the diploma condition applies only to the first category, and that the seniority requirement differs between civil servants and contract staff; these conditions are not interchangeable.

Documents required in the application file

The application file, to be downloaded from the public employment portal, comprises the following documents:

• The application letter.
• The application form accompanied by the agreement of the administration to which the candidate belongs, together with the opinion of the direct superior on the candidate's competence.
• The work programme and methodology proposed by the candidate for managing and developing the administrative unit concerned and improving its performance.

The job sheets also require a curriculum vitae and an action plan with a methodology for managing and developing the unit. The file must contain all required documents: no application will be accepted if it lacks them or if it is submitted through any channel other than the prescribed online submission.

It is advisable to verify the administration's agreement and the direct superior's opinion before submitting, since both are mandatory and cannot be replaced by the application alone.

Application and selection process

Applications are registered online on the public employment portal during the set period, and the file is downloaded from that same portal. Once the deadline has passed, a commission appointed by decision of the Governor of Essaouira Province selects the files that meet the eligibility conditions and conducts the selection interview.

The process therefore has two main stages: administrative screening of the files, followed by the selection interview before the competent commission. Any application that does not meet the conditions or lacks the required documents is rejected.
