Reconnect with Your Career
Thinking about taking a new direction or returning to a familiar path? Whether you’re exploring a career change or re-entering the workforce after a break, a career in finance could be the opportunity you’re looking for.
Finance is Jersey’s largest industry, employing almost 14,000 people, making it Jersey’s largest working sector.
Jersey’s finance industry prides itself on its forward-thinking, well-regulated approach, and welcomes people of all backgrounds and experiences.
There are a variety of career opportunities which span a number of different sectors. This means you will find the right opportunity to match your skill set.
As the finance and technology worlds continue to overlap, new opportunities will continue to develop and reshape the finance industry. We take a forwarding-thinking approach and we work in an environment that adapts to these changes.
