Questions about this listing
What salary does Amministrazione Cantonale Ticino offer for this role?
Amministrazione Cantonale Ticino lists CHF 103'632 - 167'309 gross per year for this position in Bellinzona. This is the salary published in the original listing — the calculator on this site converts it to your actual net take-home once cross-border tax and social contributions are applied.
Is this a full-time role, and what type of contract does Amministrazione Cantonale Ticino offer?
This listing is a full-time and part-time position. The contract type shown here comes directly from the employer's original posting; always confirm exact hours, notice period and probation length with Amministrazione Cantonale Ticino during the application process, since these details can vary by role even within the same contract category.
Do I need the G permit to apply for this role in Ticino as an Italian cross-border worker?
Yes. For EU/EFTA citizens the G permit no longer depends on a border zone: you need residence in an EU/EFTA state, a Swiss contract and a return home at least once a week. The 20 km band matters for taxation, not for the permit. The Swiss employer files the G-permit application at the Ticino cantonal migration office after the contract is signed — first issuance takes 2-6 weeks. The permit lasts five years with an open-ended contract or one over a year, otherwise for the length of the contract.
How do I apply for this position at Amministrazione Cantonale Ticino?
Use the "Apply now" button on this page — it links directly to Amministrazione Cantonale Ticino's original listing at concorsi.ti.ch, so your application goes straight to the employer's own applicant-tracking system. Frontaliere Ticino does not collect or forward applications itself.
