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.
