We are seeking island-based candidates with a track record of achievement in their own field in the public, private, academic or voluntary sectors. Candidates must be able to command the confidence and respect of key public service stakeholders, and senior members of those independent bodies that receive public funding, exercise statutory powers on behalf of the Government, or have a significant public profile because of the nature of their responsibility.

· Agree the timelines associated with the recruitment process
· Approve the composition of the selection panel
· Role descriptions and person specifications
· Approve advertisements and supporting materials, including recruitment packs
· Oversee a fair and transparent selection process for the appointment of any search agency
· Lead the shortlisting process, chairing both longlisting and shortlisting meetings
· Oversee the selection of assessment methods, including interviews; chair interview panels while maintaining impartiality by not participating in final candidate voting
· Undertake audits of recruitment processes where appointments have been made without direct oversight
· Promote and uphold the principle that appointments to the Jersey Public Service and approved independent body roles are made on merit, following fair and open competition
The JAC adheres to the Nolan 7 Principles of public life further information can be obtained here.

Brighter Futures Dinner Club 2026
Please support the Brighter Futures island-wide fundraising campaign, the Brighter Futures Dinner Club 2026.
Throughout next year, we are encouraging Jersey residents to host meals of all kinds in support of local families. These gatherings may take place at home, in restaurants, or anywhere people choose to come together. Every host will ask their guests to make a monetary contribution, paid into a Brighter Futures pre-provided PayPal link, and these donations will help fund our work with parents, carers, and children across the island.
We are approaching corporate partners to ask for their involvement and endorsement. Your organisation may choose to host its own Dinner Club event, encourage employees to take part, promote the campaign internally, or match fund the contributions raised by your staff if you wish. Early support from respected businesses strengthens the credibility and reach of the campaign and demonstrates a clear commitment to supporting families in Jersey.
To maintain momentum across the year, any host who holds a Dinner Club event within a given month will be entered into a free prize draw for that month, with a dinner for four at a Jersey venue. The venue will change each month. At the end of December, every host who has held a Dinner Club event at any point during the campaign will be entered into a thirteenth grand draw for a special dinner for four people, with the final prize to be confirmed.
All corporate supporters will be acknowledged across our promotional activity throughout 2026, including social media, printed materials, and fundraising updates as targets are reached. There will also be opportunities for your organisation to display Dinner Club information on site, encouraging wider participation within your workforce and customer base.
Brighter Futures works closely with families across Jersey, providing practical support, education, and wellbeing services. Corporate involvement plays an important role in helping us continue and strengthen this work.
If your organisation would like to participate, or if you would like further information about how the Dinner Club operates, please contact me directly or alternatively visit our website holds lots of information including the registration and PayPal link.

Employment support for IoD Jersey members
The IoD is acutely aware of the current economic state, including the rise in cost of living and higher than average interest rates, which is forcing members of our local community to reassess their financial priorities. The ongoing pressures that employers face concerning the war on talent perpetuates the issue and we appreciate that this can be an incredibly stressful time as Directors are in pursuit of new roles to achieve further comfort financially, possibly facing redundancy due to various service lines being outsourced to more cost-effective jurisdictions or having their positions put in jeopardy through the M&A activity their businesses may be undertaking at this time.
Should you wish to speak to someone confidentially about opportunities available to you in the market and to receive advice on how to tackle the issues outlined above whilst continuing to strive to meet your career ambitions in an ever-changing environment, then please reach out to our Branch Officer, Zoë Wauton, who can direct you to a trusted recruitment partner operating alongside us with the highest level of discretion.
We continue to echo our message that collaboration among our community is key and the IoD is committed to its duty of care towards its member's well-being through these challenging times”.
