Published in the JORAM on 12 November, two candidate lists for Child Support Technician posts: one for a school and another for the Public School Areas.
Two lists relating to competitions for the career and category of Child Support Technician, in the educational support area, were published in the Official Gazette of the Autonomous Region of Madeira (JORAM) on 12 November 2026. The first is the final list of candidates from a school with pre-primary and nursery education, and the second is the list of candidates called to the first round of professional selection interviews for the Public School Areas of the regional network.
Notice No. 596/2026 publishes the single final ranking list of successful and unsuccessful candidates in the selection procedure for one job position in the staff plan of this school, which is overseen by the Regional Secretariat for Education, Science and Technology. The competition was opened by Notice No. 55/2026, dated 10 February, published in the 2nd Supplement to the JORAM, Series II, No. 27.
The single list is the final classification of all candidates who entered the procedure, including those excluded, and it is single even when different selection methods were used. It is only published after approval.
Notice No. 597/2026 publishes the single final ranking list of successful and unsuccessful candidates who were subject to the professional selection interview, in its 1st round. This list relates to the competition for several job positions in the staff plans of the Public School Areas of the Region, opened by Notice No. 59/2026, dated 10 February, published in the 3rd Supplement to the JORAM, Series II, No. 27.
The professional selection interview is one of the recruitment methods used in the Public Administration. It serves to assess the candidate's professional experience and behavioural aspects, such as communication and interpersonal relations. The expression "1st round" indicates that this is the first phase of candidates summoned to the interview. The notice does not state how many rounds there are or how many candidates are in each one.
Both lists have been posted at the Regional Directorate of School Administration, Oudinot Building, 4th floor, in Funchal, and are available on the service's website, at www.madeira.gov.pt/draescolar. The notices were signed on 5 November 2026 by the regional director, António José de Carvalho Lucas. The JORAM does not reproduce candidates' names or grades, so the full information is only available at the locations indicated.
Both notices are published under paragraphs 4 and 5 of Article 24 of Portaria n.º 407/2023, of 16 June. This ordinance regulates the procedures for recruiting workers in the bodies and services of the direct and indirect administration of the Region.
According to the notices, an excluded candidate or the approval of the final ranking list may be challenged through a hierarchical or supervisory appeal to the member of the Regional Government responsible for Education, Science and Technology. The appeal follows the provisions of the Administrative Procedure Code, which is the general law on administrative procedure in Portugal.
