Please see the spreadsheet below:

Government of Jersey staff numbers

Please note APP1 and APP2 refer to apprentice pay groups. Due to the small numbers of individuals involved, these pay groups have been combined to avoid disclosure of personal information. In addition, within the spreadsheet pay groups with less than five individuals employed have had disclosure control applied under Article 25 (Personal Information) of the Freedom of Information (Jersey) Law 2011.

520 employees on the Teaching Assistants’ Framework were given pay increases for 2018, 2019 and 2020 that reflect the increases paid to teachers. These individuals directly support teachers in a classroom environment and it was appropriate to increase their pay in line with those they work most closely with. While they continue to be represented by civil service unions they are now included in the teachers’ pay group for pay review purposes.
