Pamplona hires ten people with mental disabilities for public works

Published on June 03, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

The Pamplona City Council has announced the hiring of five women and five men with disabilities due to mental illness to carry out works and services of general interest. This initiative aims to promote labor inclusion for vulnerable people, improving their quality of life and social integration. The measure generates stable employment and contributes to the maintenance of public spaces, benefiting both workers and the community.

Labor inclusion with technological support in municipal management 🖥️

The initiative relies on human resource management software tools and public works tracking platforms to coordinate tasks. The City Council uses adapted shift assignment and time control systems, ensuring that temporary contracts comply with disability regulations. This technical approach allows monitoring the performance and integration of workers into municipal teams, optimizing resources without relying on complex manual or bureaucratic processes.

Inclusive hiring: when the city council makes a match with mental health 😅

It seems that finally someone at the City Council has discovered that having a mental illness does not turn you into an office piece of furniture. Now, five men and five women will be able to prove that they know how to handle a shovel or a brush much better than some politicians handle budgets. Of course, let's hope they are not also asked to fix the sidewalks of the Old Quarter, because that would be a miracle.
