Staff Testimonials
Amelia Falla Senior Analyst, Banking and InsuranceHaving studied philosophy at university (with a particular focus on ethics), a career at the Commission struck me as the perfect way to strive to help others; you can experience a true sense of accomplishment from the knowledge that your work is dedicated to the aim of protecting individuals and the Bailiwick from financial misdemeanours through the channels of policy, supervision and enforcement.
Conor Osborough, PhD Deputy Director, Risk and OperationsHaving moved from academia in the UK to Guernsey, to enjoy family life, the Commission were quick to recognise the transferable skills that I already had. Leading on projects, critically analysing data, communicating insight to inform decision making, problem solving, mentoring and training others are just parts of my varied role. The supportive nature of the Commission and their commitment to staff training are real benefits.
Alice Edwards Assistant Director, Investment, Fiduciary and PensionThe Graduate Development Programme is an excellent opportunity to broaden your skills; I am doing something different each day which at times can be challenging but, in my opinion, it makes the job a lot more interesting. In addition to being able to move around the Commission during the Programme, there are also opportunities to gain multiple professional qualifications.
Thomas Collins Senior Analyst, Banking and InsuranceHaving joined the Commission on the Graduate Development Programme, I have been able to progress and learn a number of new skills through the range of tasks I have undertaken, whilst studying for professional qualifications. The Commission also gave me the opportunity to undertake a secondment with a regulator of another international finance centre and I learnt a lot from this experience.
Alexandra Bevis Commission Staff OfficerThe Commission has an open and friendly working atmosphere, and you are encouraged to be inquisitive and put forward new ideas from day one. Guernsey is a fantastic place to work; it combines the expertise of an international finance centre with work-life balance, and my commute to work consists of a walk along the sea!
Ben Harding Senior Analyst, Investment, Fiduciary and PensionNo two days are alike, with each task presenting a unique challenge to tackle. Having come from a background of physics, I had little experience or knowledge surrounding the financial sector prior to joining the Programme. Fortunately, the Commission operates and facilitates numerous training courses, both internal and external, which has allowed me to expand my field of knowledge significantly.
Grace Tucker Analyst, Financial CrimeEvery day I walk through the doors of an organisation that encourages growth, values you more than just a number and is a place that not only makes real difference, but that inspires you to do the same. Working at the Commission you are surrounded by a wealth of knowledge from an amazing team of people that I am proud to work alongside.
Angus Morgan Senior Analyst, Investment, Fiduciary and PensionOne of my favourite aspects of life at the Commission is the culture of knowledge-sharing and teamwork, which enables graduates to learn from experienced colleagues. Graduates are also helped to progress through the chance to take on responsibility at an early stage, for example, through participating in onsite visits and thematic reviews.
Christina Rumens Senior Analyst, Investment, Fiduciary and PensionMy work is extremely varied and ranges from working on projects, preparing for on-site visits to dealing with regulatory requests. Responsibility is also given at an early stage as within my first few weeks I was heavily involved in an internal division project. The Commission supports your professional development through numerous internal and external training courses and assists you in working towards gaining professional qualifications. Everyone is very friendly, extremely supportive, and more than willing to answer any queries or questions you may have. If you are looking to start, progress or even change your career, I would highly recommend the Graduate Development Programme.
Ewan Hamilton Graduate AnalystI was given responsibility from the offset, being assigned to an active operation within my first week. By beginning my journey with the Commission in this manner I feel that I have already learnt and accomplished a lot. It provides you with the opportunity to truly apply yourself in a way that other jobs cannot.
