Jersey

If you don’t already know, Guernsey, Jersey (and the Isle of Man) are Crown Dependencies and as such are not part of and are very different from the UK.  They are self-governing dependencies of the Crown. This means they have their own directly elected governments, different legal and financial systems and though they have publicly funded health systems they are not part of the NHS. 

Crucially for nurses and healthcare professionals, the cost of living is generally higher than the UK and they have different pay systems. Guernsey and Jersey do not share systems, each country has its own so each needs to be looked at in isolation to understand the complexities.

When we refer to Agenda for Change on these pages, this is the pay system used on each island – it is not the same as UK Agenda for Change system in terms of pay points or how pay is determined. Pay is negotiated by the RCN and other relevant unions separately on both islands as pay has to reflect the unique situation in each country.

The branch has a Facebook page which you are invited to join: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RCNJersey/
