Brazilian public sector psychologist hiring

In late July 2026 the court of Peixoto de Azevedo, Mato Grosso, announced an open call for psychologists to join a reserve register for service in the judicial unit. Applications were accepted online from 3 to 21 August, with eligibility limited to candidates holding a recognized psychology degree, registration with the regional council, age 21 or older, and a clean criminal record. Selection would be based on document analysis, awarding points for professional experience, public‑service tenure, and academic qualifications.

A few days later, on 2 August, the municipality of Porto dos Gaúchos, also in Mato Grosso, issued a similar credentialing process for psychologists, with registration running from 3 to 17 August and the credential valid for 24 months, extendable once. The same eligibility criteria applied. The announcement also included a separate hiring notice from the municipality of Porto Mauá in Rio Grande do Sul for a temporary nutritionist position, indicating that multiple local governments were concurrently conducting public‑sector recruitment drives for health‑related professionals.

Together, the notices illustrate a broader pattern of Brazilian municipal and judicial bodies initiating short‑term hiring rounds for psychologists (and other health staff) in mid‑2026, using online applications, fee structures, and standardized qualification requirements.
