The Intendencia de Canelones, a regional government body in Uruguay, has announced a new hiring drive seeking candidates for 'oficinista II' (office clerk II) positions. This initiative aims to expand its administrative workforce across various departments.

Significantly, the sole mandatory requirement for applicants is the completion of secondary education, making the positions accessible to a broad range of individuals. The role entails a variety of administrative duties, including assisting internal and external clients, drafting official correspondence, managing records, filing documents, and inputting data into computer systems. The position requires a commitment of 40 hours per week.

Successful candidates will receive a nominal monthly salary of $44,593 Uruguayan pesos, corresponding to the 'Ad' grade within the administrative scale, along with applicable social benefits. Applicants must choose to apply for only one of the 32 available registers, which are distributed across different localities within the Canelones department, including major centers like Canelones city, Santa Lucía, Las Piedras, and La Paz.

Interested individuals can submit their applications through an online form on the Government of Canelones portal. The application period is currently open and will close on July 6 at 3:30 PM. This hiring process offers an opportunity for those with a secondary education to secure administrative employment within the local government.
