How a cantonal competition works
Every vacancy in the Ticino cantonal administration, OSC (mental-health organisation), EOC (public hospital) and linked services is filled through a public competition (concorso). The bid is published on concorsi.ti.ch with a reference (e.g. "23/26"), a closing date 3-6 weeks after publication, requirements, workload percentage and salary class.
Applications go online through the HR portal. Required documents: cover letter, detailed CV, diplomas, work references. Healthcare roles additionally require MEBEKO/SRK recognition of the Italian diploma when relevant.

Eligibility for Italian cross-border workers
Most cantonal competitions are open to foreign candidates meeting the formal criteria (equivalent diploma, valid work permit, Italian language proficiency). Only a few specific roles (magistrates, some police functions) require Swiss citizenship.
For an Italian permit G holder the procedure is identical to a resident: online application, assessment, possible hiring. The Cantonal Migration Office handles the work permit in parallel. Residence-area requirements are rare and usually do not apply to cross-border workers.
Salaries in the cantonal administration
The cantonal administration applies a 25-class salary law, each class with 20 biennial increments. Administrative staff in class 5 earn between ~65,000 and ~95,000 CHF gross per year (13 months, 100%). Specialised healthcare roles (doctors, SUP nurses) sit in classes 9-15, earning 85,000-140,000 CHF.
Net for cross-border workers depends on distance from the border and the new-treaty status. Our salary calculator simulates the outcome from the class + increment stated in the bid.
