From a summary of someone's professional career in an article annoucing a new appointment as director of a foundation:
... cuenta con el título de Procuradora, y fue la número 1 en el proceso selectivo del 2001 para ingresar en el Cuerpo de Ayudantes de Archivos, Bibliotecas y Museos, y la número 2 en el proceso selectivo de 2005 en el Cuerpo Facultativo de Conservadores de Museos ...
Obviously can't be Corps, which has military connotations - I'm not sure what to use for the best.

Can I just say that I don't entirely agree that "if it's the OFFICIAL one then you have to use it". I have come across some laughable "official" translations and occasionally find that they have become "official" by mere inertia. I do agree that trying to get them changed can be a Sisyphean task, but it's not always impossible...
we do talk about the "Diplomatic Service" and the "Home Civil Service" in the UK. The basic problem here is that the Spanish Civil Service is arranged on very different lines to that in the UK, so there is no direct equivalent.
I know, but it's not that commonly used in the non-military sense, as you say, hence why I'm loath to use it. Nevertheless, I'm unsure, and am interested to see what others think.
Though I agree it's not used in its non-military sense much these days. The Oxford English gives this definition:
a group of people engaged in a particular activity: the press corps.
