Board and Trustee appointments
Governing our public service and ensuring the best delivery possible for Islanders through robust assurance.
Public service is just that; serving our Islanders in the best way possible, utilising resources well, making sound decisions and complying with regulation and legislation.
And we need people to give our Islanders comfort that this is happening. To allow this, the public service has a number of boards that ensure sound governance and control exists over all areas of public service, and that the direction of travel is aligned with the Common Strategic Policy.
These boards span from the Risk and Audit Committee, Fiscal Policy Panel, Health and Care Jersey Advisory Board, Jersey Care Commission, Jersey Appointments Commission and the Jersey Police Authority.
The majority of our boards require a commitment of approximately one day a month and offer the chance for people to use their skills, knowledge and experience, often from outside public service, to ensure assurance is given to Islanders.
Chair, Assisted Dying Assurance and Delivery Committee
About the Role:
Closing date: Monday 13th July 2026
Chair, Assisted Dying Assurance and Delivery Committee
Following approval of Jersey’s Assisted Dying Law by its Parliament (the States Assembly) in February 2026, work has commenced on establishing the Assisted Dying Assurance and Delivery Committee which is tasked, in law, with the implementation and oversight of a safe, ethical and compassionate Assisted Dying Service.
We are seeking to appoint the inaugural Chair of this statutory Committee. Reporting to the Minister for Health and Social Services, you will provide visible, independent leadership to the Committee, overseeing the development and implementation of the assisted dying service and ensuring full compliance with the law and associated regulatory frameworks. You will guide the establishment of governance systems, training and professional standards, while ensuring quality, safety and compassionate care remain at the forefront. The role will involve working closely with government, clinicians, stakeholders and the wider community, navigating complex and often contentious issues with integrity and clarity. As the founding Chair, you will shape the Committee’s culture, build a high-performing membership and provide assurance on service delivery, performance and risk in a multi-stakeholder environment.
We are looking for an exceptional individual with significant Board or Committee level experience, ideally within health and care or similarly regulated environments, and a strong track record of leading complex, high-profile change. You will bring deep expertise in governance, assurance and compliance, alongside the ability to engage constructively with diverse perspectives on a sensitive issue. Independence, sound judgement and personal credibility are essential, as is the ability to lead with compassion, openness and resilience. You will be comfortable operating in ambiguity, able to balance ethical, legal and operational considerations, and committed to upholding public trust. Above all, you will have the leadership capability to build confidence among stakeholders and deliver a service that is safe, robust, respectful of individual choice and compliant with the assisted dying law.
