The Social Security Department administer the Social Security System and the Health Insurance Scheme on the Island. In addition, we manage the Employment Services Centre, the Workwise Scheme, and the Health and Safety Inspectorate.
The Social Security Scheme is not owned by Government, rather it is a partnership between employees, their employers and the States of Jersey. Most people living and working on the Island, pay contributions and are covered by certain benefits and a pension. The offices of the Social Security Department administer this scheme and in so doing, support people to achieve an acceptable standard of living.
The Department also provide a complete vacancy and job matching service. In addition they offer Adult Career Guidance and a superb Learning Centre. The Workwise scheme assists those with disabilities into employment.
The Health and Safety at Work Legislation is also administered by the department and our Inspectors are concerned with all aspects of health, safety and welfare.
The Employment and Social Security Department is covered by the Jersey Data Protection (Jersey) Law 2005.
