The States said that more than two-thirds of these new recruits were in health services, and mostly focused on nurses and medical consultants.
Over the same year, 112 vacant full-time roles in health services were filled, leaving just 51 full-time agency staff on the books at the end of the year. Much smaller increases were seen in teaching, which went up by seven posts, three more staff in IT, and three in tax services. Three job roles were cut in the Home Affairs Committee.
The number of States ‘core’ staff with pay costs amounting to more than £110,000 a year increased over the year by 48 to 263.
Just over half of these people work in ‘frontline’ services in health, education and Home Affairs roles. The States said that the figures included all public servants such as police, nurses, doctors, teachers and judges.
It said that the figures did not reflect employees’ salaries, but the total cost to the States, including all pay (basic, overtime, shift allowance, housing allowance, relocation, reimbursement of training or professional fees), pension and social security costs. The States as an accounting ‘group’ directly employs more than 6,500 people, as well as managing the trading assets and controlling outsourced partners.
There are another 50 or so people employed in other areas covered by the States Accounts, particularly incorporated entities in the same employment cost group.
While it is not mandatory to include this information, the States has done so in financial statements for several years.
