We’re recruiting up to five Climate Council members for approximately five days during Q4 2025 and Q1 2026. 

The Climate Council will report on Jersey’s progress on both reducing GHG emissions and on the Government of Jersey’s delivery of the Carbon Neutral Roadmap to provide accountability and continuity of ambition.

The Climate Council is required to independently prepare a report to the States Assembly (Jersey’s elected parliament).

Members of the Climate Council will be tasked with assessing the implementation of the agreed Carbon Neutral Roadmap, progress towards Jersey’s emissions reduction targets and the provision of advice regarding how best the Island should apply its resources to achieve its ambitions. In the course of this undertaking, the Council may not depart from the accepted scientific basis for climate change as a consequence of human activity, nor the necessity of science-led emissions reduction measures to limit global warming, in accordance with the Paris Agreement.

The work of the Climate Council may include:

• Providing independent science-based advice on setting and meeting carbon budgets and preparing for climate change
• Monitoring progress in reducing emissions and achieving carbon budgets and targets and recommending actions to keep Jersey on track
• Conducting independent analysis into climate change science, economics and policy where such information cannot be transposed from other peer reviewed scientific research or analysis

• Developing recommendations for the Government of Jersey in taking forward the CNR and progress towards emissions reduction targets
• Participating, as required by the Chair, in communicating the Council’s findings and final report

Essential skills and knowledge:

Members must ideally possess the following skills, experience and knowledge:

• Undergraduate degree or equivalent experience (five+ years) in a subject relevant to one or more of the following fields: energy; economics; climate technology; income inequality and just transition issues; carbon sequestration; climate science and/or policy
• Able to demonstrate strong research/report writing and analytical skills and academic rigour
• Decision making – ability to examine and review complex information and make informed decisions drawing on a wide range of sources
• Performance and quality assurance – experience of overseeing or reviewing the quality of an organisation’s services or performance
• Challenge and influencing – ability to challenge constructively and influence decisions within the Council or key stakeholders
• Communication and engagement– ability to communicate effectively and engage with partners and key stakeholders
• Commitment as a public office-holder to discharging their role in accordance with the Seven Principles of Public Life (also known as the Nolan Principles): selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership
• Commitment to work within the agreed remit of the Council

Desirable skills and knowledge:

Members should ideally possess the following skills, experience and knowledge:

• A postgraduate qualification or equivalent experience (10+ years) in a subject relevant to one or more of the following fields: energy; economics; climate technology; income inequality and just transition issues; carbon sequestration; climate science and/or policy
• Hold membership with a relevant accredited professional body (ideally at Fellowship level or equivalent)
• Prior experience and recognition of the challenges facing a smaller jurisdiction
• A good understanding of the operation of government and/or public bodies
• Demonstrable expertise at understanding how complex political landscapes operate
• An understanding of climate change policy and its delivery, in Jersey or elsewhere
• Prior experience of assessing the efficacy of emissions reduction measures as part of an independent body

Role background:

The Jersey Gambling Commission is the statutory body responsible for the regulation and supervision of the Island’s gambling services industry. The Commission is currently working with the Government of Jersey on a process to transfer the responsibility for liquor licensing from the Courts to the Commission. This process has been subject to a public consultation, but the decision to proceed will be one made by the States Assembly in the latter half of this year. Applicants to the Board should therefore be content to receive this wider mandate should it be approved.

The current Guiding Principles set out in the Gambling Commission (Jersey) Law 2010 will also be broadly applicable to licensing insofar as any services provided:

• should be conducted responsibly and with safeguards necessary to protect children and vulnerable people;
• should be regulated in accordance with generally accepted international standards to prevent fraud and money laundering, and should not be permitted to be a source of crime; and
• should be verifiably fair to consumers of those services.

Role information:

The Commission is currently seeking to fill two positions on the Board of Commissioners.

The Commission’s governing Board consists of a Chair and currently two other Commissioners, one of whom is also Chief Executive. The Board is required by statute to include a balance of persons with experience of the type of services supervised by the Commission, or regulation of other activities that are regulated in a similar manner, such as financial, legal or other aspects of management of bodies similar to the Commission. It also provides for those who have experience similar to the action to be taken under the social responsibility function and, more broadly the social conditions in Jersey.

The Commission is mindful of the need for board diversity to represent as well as possible the public interest in the Island. The Chair is therefore seeking to recruit someone with a proven track record in either the hospitality sector, or with good corporate governance experience. Commissioners are required to be individuals of authority and integrity, who contribute to the professional standing of the Commission and the high reputation of Jersey as a jurisdiction. An applicant’s qualifications and experience should be such as to enable their contribution to serve the statutory aims of the Commission. Experience as a non-executive director would be an advantage.

Length of term and commitment required:

The appointment will be from three to up to a five year term and may be renewed subject to the necessary approvals.

Commissioners are expected to attend quarterly Board meetings in Jersey, together with pre-licensing and licensing hearings or ad hoc meetings that may arise from time to time.

In the event that liquor licensing becomes a responsibility of the Commission, the award of licences will be made by the executive, with the Board sitting as an Appeal Body. The total commitment required is therefore subject to these legislative changes progressing, but is not expected to exceed twenty four days per year.
