WRITTEN QUESTION TO THE MINISTER FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BY DEPUTY G.P. SOUTHERN OF ST. HELIER

ANSWER TO BE TABLED ON TUESDAY 21st OCTOBER 2008

Question

Has the Minister yet succeeded in appointing an employer representative to chair the new Skills Executive and will he further give members details of the terms under which the post has been advertised both in the past and currently?

Answer

Following a full recruitment and selection process, chaired by a representative of the Appointments Commission, Mr Richard Plaster was appointed Chair of Skill's Jersey. Mr Plaster assumed the role of Chair on 1st October 2008.

The post was advertised twice. Initially as a voluntary position however this recruitment received a minimal response. After consultation with the Chairman of the Appointments Commission, the post was then re-advertised locally with a paid honorarium.
