Make a real difference for children and young people in Jersey
Across Children, Young People, Education and Skills (CYPES), we are dedicated to empowering the next generation and shaping brighter futures for all. Key to everything we do is a simple but powerful purpose - to make Jersey the best place for children and young people to grow up and thrive.
Every day, we work to positively impact the lives of children, young people, their families, and carers. We believe every child should have the opportunity to reach their full potential, and we’re committed to making that belief a reality.
If you’re looking for a rewarding career with purpose, where your work directly shapes the lives of children and young people in Jersey, join our team and be part of something truly special.
Changing lives together
Our work is as diverse as the children and families we support. From protecting vulnerable children, promoting fostering and adoption programmes, and supporting those in care, to providing an effective education, practical skills development opportunities, and enriching youth services, we are passionate about creating safe, nurturing environments where children and young people can flourish.
We also provide essential support through services such as the Children and Families Hub, and the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), ensuring children and families have the care they need to thrive. All our teams make a meaningful impact in Jersey every single day.
Children's Social Care
We safeguard vulnerable children, support children in care, and lead fostering and adoption initiatives. Collaborating with trusts and voluntary organisations, we promote high-quality childcare and oversee the registration of childcare settings to ensure safe, nurturing environments.
Education
We educate our Island's children and young people. We aim to deliver a high quality, effective and inclusive curriculum that drives success, from early years through to schools and colleges. We ensure every child aged 3 to 19 has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. Find out more about careers in Education.
Young People's Services
From empowering young carers to guiding the Jersey Youth Parliament, our services give young people a voice, opportunity, and a sense of belonging. The Jersey Youth Service provides vital programmes and support that inspire the next generation.
CAMHS and Children & Families Hub
In our Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) and our Children and Families Hub, we work together to offer specialist mental health support and holistic family services that help children, young people and their families to navigate life's challenges.
Skills
We help young people realise their potential by offering careers advice, mentoring, and financial assistance for higher education. By identifying skills gaps and offering tailored guidance, we prepare people for fulfilling careers that benefit both them and the Island.
Library Services
Our libraries are a hub for learning and connection, offering services through the Town Library, Communicare Library, and mobile and home libraries. We bring knowledge and resources to every corner of Jersey, fostering a love of reading and learning.
Support services
Our support services teams underpin everything we do, managing business support, governance, health and safety, risk, digital transformation, and programme management.
They ensure our services are efficient, safe, and strategically aligned to meet Jersey’s evolving needs.
