Applications for ASEP notice 7K/2026, which concerns 3,262 Compulsory Education (YE) posts in public sector organisations across the country. Among these are 16 posts in the Municipality of Spata–Artemida: cleaning staff, park maintenance workers, cemetery workers and water supply workers. For these Compulsory Education (CE) posts, a Compulsory Education qualification is sufficient, i.e. a lower secondary school leaving certificate or, for those who graduated earlier, a primary school leaving certificate. These are among the few opportunities for a permanent position in the civil service without a degree.
The 16 posts within the local authority
According to the table of post allocations in the recruitment notice (Government Gazette, ASEP Issue 64/16 October 2026):
- Outdoor cleaning staff: 9 posts (code 600), 5 of which are subject to experience-based scoring and 4 of which are not
- Refuse collection assistants: 2 posts (code 813)
- Park and garden maintenance workers: 2 posts (code 421), one requiring experience and the other not
- Cemetery workers: 2 posts (code 374), one requiring experience and the other not
- Water supply and drainage worker: 1 post (code 487)
This distinction is important. For ‘no experience required’ roles, previous work experience does not count towards the score, so those who have never worked in the field before have a genuine opportunity. In the neighbourhood, the Municipality of Rafina–Pikermi has, in the same job advertisement, one vacancy for a groundsman (code 420).
How to apply
Applications can only be submitted online via the ASEP website (asep.gr) using your Taxisnet login details. Before submitting your application, you will need to pay an electronic fee of 15 euros via the e-Paravolo application on gsis.gr, with ASEP as the payee. The fee reference number must be entered on the application form and must have been paid before submission; otherwise, the application will not be finalised. Please take care when entering the codes for the posts and your qualifications, as the application is processed electronically.
Supporting documents do not need to be uploaded at this stage. ASEP will issue a notice inviting candidates to submit them online within ten working days, prior to the publication of the provisional lists. Every criterion you declare must be valid on the deadline date, 16 November, and you must be able to prove it, as the application constitutes a solemn declaration. Anyone who fails to upload the supporting documents when requested will be disqualified.
What counts towards the points tally
Classification is based on the criteria set out in Article 29 of Law 4765/2021 for the YE category, which include unemployment, being a child from a large family, a family with three children or a single-parent family, and, where relevant, experience. Local residency, that is, priority given to permanent residents, applies only to certain categories of municipalities, mainly those on islands and in the regions, and the call for applications explicitly excludes the municipalities of the Attica Region. Residents of Spata–Artemida, therefore, do not have priority for positions within their own municipality and compete on the same terms as candidates from across the country.
The full text of the notice, including the accepted qualifications and general eligibility criteria, can be found on the ASEP information portal.
