Introduction:

We are seeking an exceptional leader for the position of Director of Workforce to shape our workforce strategy and ensure that our people are supported to deliver essential health and care services to Jersey residents. We have ambitious plans to improve health and care in Jersey, which includes changes that will make a real difference to our patients, people and the services that we provide.

The Director of Workforce is responsible for developing and implementing a strategic, outcome focussed approach to resourcing within Health and Care Jersey, to ensure that the needs of Jersey residents are met when accessing health and care services.

Health and Care Jersey

Health and Care Jersey is a department of the Government of Jersey. While not part of the NHS, it operates within national career frameworks but enjoys greater autonomy and flexibility - benefits that extend to our team members.

Our comprehensive training and education programmes also foster relationships across different parts of the public service, creating a supportive sense of community and professional camaraderie.

This is an opportunity for an individual to make a real difference to the delivery of the Jersey’s health and care services.

Role Overview:


The Director of Workforce plays a pivotal role in shaping and overseeing workforce planning across our health and care services, working closely with senior leadership and operational teams on all HR and People matters, to attract, retain, and develop a diverse, skilled, and motivated workforce that meets the current and future needs of our services.  

The successful applicant will be responsible for developing workforce strategies to meet the needs of Health and Care Jersey, working with the Health and Care Services Board and a new Health and Care Partnership Board, to support our current workforce needs and the development of the New Healthcare Facilities Programme, including a new Acute Hospital supported by a digital strategy.

Establishing and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders in Jersey’s health and care professional networks, as well as People Services HR teams, will be a key element of the role, to ensure workforce needs are met in alignment with overall service priorities.

Working in Jersey

Life and work in Jersey offers a balance of familiarity and uniqueness. With one central hospital and a small number of offsite facilities, there is limited commuting, and you’ll quickly develop strong connections with colleagues, contacts and stakeholders. Please see the attached providing some further insight on relocating to Jersey. 

How to apply:

We are keen to hear from applicants with experience in leading and managing all aspects of healthcare workforce development at a senior level, as well as qualifications to MCIPD/Masters level (or equivalent).

For an informal, confidential, conversation regarding the role, please contact resourcing@gov.je.
