The Jersey Gambling Commission is the statutory body responsible for the licensing and supervision of providers of gambling services, both commercial and charitable, and investigation of whether any person is complying with, contravening, or committing an offence under an enactment relating to gambling.
The Commission is currently seeking a new Chair for its Board of Commissioners.
The Commission’s governing Board consists of a Chair and currently four other Commissioners, one of whom is also Chief Executive. The Board is required by statute to include a balance of persons with experience of the type of services supervised by the Commission, or regulation of other activities that are regulated in a similar manner, such as financial, legal or other aspects of management of bodies similar to the Commission. It also provides for those who have experience similar to the action to be taken under the social responsibility function and, more broadly the social conditions in Jersey.
The Commission is mindful of the need for board diversity to represent as well as possible the public interest in the Island. The Chair should therefore be an individual of authority and integrity, who will contribute to the professional standing of the Commission and the high reputation of Jersey as a jurisdiction. Candidates for this position must be able to demonstrate previous Board experience.
The appointment will be from three to up to a five year term and may be renewed subject to the necessary approvals. All Commissioners are expected to attend quarterly Board meetings in Jersey, together with ad hoc meetings that may arise from time to time. The total commitment varies, but is not expected to exceed twenty-four days per year.
The application and appointments procedures to be followed will be in accordance with those recommended by the Jersey Appointments Commission. Applicants should apply personally to Dr Jason Lane, Chief Executive and prospective candidates may contact the Commission to discuss the role prior to application via info@jgc.je
