REPORT

The Jersey Appointments Commission was established by the States under Part 4 of the Employment of States of Jersey Employees (Jersey) Law 2005 ("the Law"). The Commission consists of a Chairperson and not more than 4 other Commissioners. The purpose  of  this  report  is  in  reference  to  Article 18(2)  of  the  Law  and  the  Chief Minister's recommendation to the States that Mr. Julian Rogers be appointed by the States to the role of Appointments Commissioner with immediate effect.

Background

Currently the Jersey Appointments Commission comprises –

Mr. Michael Liston – Chairman

Mrs. Catherine Elizabeth Rees – Vice-Chair

Mr. Brian Curtis

Mr. Kenneth Soar

Advocate Rose Colley's term of office expired at the end of February 2009.

A  competitive  appointment  process  was  undertaken,  which  complied  with  the Appointment  Commission's  Code  for  Recruitment  to  Autonomous  and  Quasi- Autonomous Bodies and Tribunals. The vacancy was advertised in Jersey.

The selection was undertaken by Deputy J.A.N. Le Fondré of St. Lawrence , Assistant Minister, Chief Minister's Department; Mr. Ian Crich, in his capacity as Executive Officer to the Commission; and Mr. Mike Liston, Chairman of the Appointments Commission.

Mr. Rogers  was  interviewed  on  4th  March  2009  and  assessed  against  the  role description  and  person  specification  for  an  Appointments  Commissioner.  He  was assessed as suitable.

Mr. Julian Rogers, MA, MBA, has been resident in Jersey since 1975 and owns and runs a software company, working with a wide range of clients. His past achievements include developing and running the first local adult IT training courses for business studies with the Education Service. Mr. Rogers has given his services in the voluntary sector and has been Chairman of the States Members' Remuneration Body since 2004; and has held roles with the University of the Third Age in Jersey and the Probus Club of Jersey; and is a Yacht Master with Raleigh Sailing.

The States Employment Board approved the appointment of Mr. Rogers for a term of 4 years.

Thanks are extended to the retiring Commissioner, Advocate Colley, for her 7 years of service with the Jersey Appointments Commission.

Financial and manpower implications

There are no additional resource implications arising from this proposal, as there is already  a  budget  in  place  for  the  costs  associated  with  the  running  of  the Appointments Commission.
