Vargeão City Hall in Santa Catarina is accepting applications for Public Competition Notice No. 001/2026 through October 8, 2026. The key point for readers who have seen headlines mentioning 22 openings is that the official WJ Concursos page lists 23 positions, each with 1 immediate opening plus a reserve list. The full notice confirms the same structure. The official count is therefore 23 immediate openings, in addition to the reserve lists.

Why do some reports mention 22 openings?
There is a discrepancy between part of the coverage published on September 17 and the official sources. The report that stated 22 openings covers the same groups of positions, but the organizer lists 23 functions and item 2.1 of the official notice assigns one opening to each one. The official total is 1 opening at the elementary level, 4 at the secondary or technical level, and 18 at the higher-education level, for 23 immediate openings.
The reserve list should not be added as a fixed number of openings. It is a list of ranked candidates that may be used during the competition's validity if new openings or hiring needs arise, subject to the ranking order and the rules in the notice.
Application fees and who may request a waiver
Applications are submitted online through WJ Concursos. Fees are R$ 30 for literacy or elementary-level positions, R$ 70 for secondary or technical positions, and R$ 100 for higher-education positions. The notice provides a fee-waiver request period from September 16 to September 26.
Candidates covered by Santa Catarina state rules for blood donors, bone marrow donors, and human milk donors may request a waiver. Specific documentation is required: blood donors must show at least three donations in the 12 months before the final application day; bone marrow donors must be registered with REDOME and prove at least one effective donation; human milk donors must prove at least one donation per month for the four months before applying.
Submitting the request does not guarantee the waiver. The documentation is reviewed by the technical committee. Applicants whose waiver is denied and who wish to remain in the competition must pay the applicable fee by the deadline.
How the test works and what is different for teacher positions
The objective test is scheduled for November 1, 2026 and is mandatory for every position. The notice provides for 40 multiple-choice questions: 20 on job-specific knowledge, 10 on general knowledge, 5 on Portuguese, and 5 on Mathematics. The standard test duration is four hours.
Teacher positions have two special rules. First, candidates may apply for two teacher positions; in that case, the maximum test duration is five hours. Second, teacher positions include a credentials evaluation that is classificatory only. Supporting documents must be uploaded digitally through the candidate area within the timetable set by the notice. For non-teaching positions, simultaneous applications for more than one position are not allowed.
What to check before submitting an application
- Confirm that your education and, where required, professional registration match the selected position exactly.
- Check the fee for the position's education level and the payment deadline on the bank slip.
- If you intend to request a waiver, upload the required proof during the specific window and follow the result.
- For teacher positions, also verify the subject qualification and the credentials-evaluation rules.
- Keep checking the official organizer page because the notice may be amended and test locations will be published later.
Where to follow the official notice
The main sources are the competition page on WJ Concursos and the Vargeão City Hall website. The competition is valid for one year from homologation and may be extended once for the same period, as provided in the notice.
