There is great controversy at the Funchal City Council (CMF) regarding a competition for the hiring of a Senior Technician in Social Work. The author of the article claims that a competition was launched "tailor-made" for a specific person, that everyone at the council knows who will be hired, and that this was discovered through two texts published on Madeira Opina.
The article argues that the person chosen for the position may not perform Social Work functions, although they have training in the field, and questions whether it is necessary to be registered with the Order of Social Workers to perform these functions. The author argues that this contradiction reveals favoritism and possible irregularities in the procedure.
The author appeals to CMF to change the admission requirements, exclude the person who does not meet the conditions, and make the process transparent. He also suggests that the Judicial Police may come to investigate not only the Santa Cruz City Council, but also CMF.
Regarding other admission procedures opened at the same time, the article warns those interested to open their eyes, noting that there is no higher academic degree such as postgraduate studies, master's, or doctorate that replaces the base training of a bachelor's degree. It recommends that they contest any procedure that requires registration with a Professional Order without that requirement being legitimate.
