Job description

The STSB acts as shareholder for Aurigny, Guernsey Electricity, Guernsey Post and Jamesco 750 and is responsible for Guernsey Ports (including Alderney Airport), Guernsey Dairy, Guernsey Water, Guernsey Waste, States Works and the Channel Islands Lottery. The Board ensures that the trading businesses are a group of wellmanaged, efficient companies that deliver a return in the longterm best interests of Islanders. 

This is a Non-States Member role but, unlike NSMs on the six principal States committees, you will be a voting member of the board. More about Non-States Members.

Skills

The STSB are looking for someone with significant board experience, at executive or non-executive level. Ideally, candidates should be qualified as a Chartered Director or hold a Diploma in Company Direction or similar.

Time commitment

The time commitment for this role is substantial. Depending on the level of business, the Board normally meets fortnightly. The two Non-States Members also chair two or three of the unincorporated company boards, which generally meet on a bi-monthly or quarterly basis. In addition, there are quarterly meetings with the directors of the incorporated businesses, which can total up to 16 per year. Plus ad hoc meetings when necessary.

£9,552 per annum.
