WQ.322/2022
WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR CHILDREN AND EDUCATION BY DEPUTY R.J. WARD OF ST. HELIER CENTRAL
QUESTION SUBMITTED ON MONDAY 28th NOVEMBER 2022 ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON MONDAY 5th DECEMBER 2022
Question
“In relation to staffing within the Island’s schools, will the Minister state –
- how many supply staff are currently employed who are based in the U.K. but living in Jersey to fulfil short-term contracts of employment as supply staff (i.e. who fly to Jersey each week, month or term specifically to provide supply cover); and
- the monthly cost of this arrangement, including travel and accommodation expenses if applicable, with a breakdown of the different costs incurred?
Answer
- Out of roughly 900 teaching staff, there are currently fewer than five teachers employed via an agency.
These teachers have been recruited to begin work for two terms from January 2023, until July 2023. They will also provide 2-3 weeks’ teaching during December, during which time they will be accommodated in hotels.
We are currently organising residential accommodation for these staff from January 2023.
- Monthly figures below are estimated. Due to the low number of UK agency staff currently employed, we cannot provide individual details.
