Response

A1. There were 17 employees in the External Department on 01 January 2024; however, one member of staff left at the start of January. There were 20.5* employees on the 31 January 2025. 

A2. There were 6.5 new starters and <5 leavers during the period 01 January 2024 to 31 January 2025.  

A3. There has been <5 leavers and therefore due to the low number, we are unable to disclose the reason for leaving.  

A4. Due to there being <5 leavers, we are unable to disclose this information.  

Where numbers are small, disclosure control has been applied to protect the privacy of individuals and numbers fewer than five are represented as ‘<5’. Article 25 of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011 has been applied. 

* These figures do not include staff in the UK Affairs team in the London office, or those staff employed via the Brussels and French offices.  

Two roles pertain to the Office of the Director of Civil Aviation (oDAC). The oDCA is funded by the Ports of Jersey, not the Government of Jersey, and these roles are not therefore counted on External Relations headcount
