The Consumer Council needs you!

Friday, 24 January 2025 15:00

Are you someone who loves searching for bargains, always tries to make their money go further, and notices when prices suddenly rise?

If so, you sound like just the person we are looking for to join our team of volunteers, who will help with everything from price checking and researching products to being the Council’s eyes and ears in Jersey.

We’re hoping to attract applications to join our team of volunteer Council Members from Islanders with a variety of skills, including secretarial, digital, administrative, and social media, among others.

Applications are being accepted from people of all ages who reside in Jersey, and we’re especially keen to welcome applications from any Islanders in their 20s and 30s, an area currently under-represented on the Council.

In addition, we’re also looking to recruit a team of volunteers who will help, when required, with research, data gathering, and special projects – effectively acting as the eyes and ears of the Council.

Ideally, applicants should be living in Jersey, so that they have some knowledge about consumer issues on the Island.

 

What you need to do

To apply to either join our Council, or join a team of volunteers, please email or call us to tell us a bit about yourself, and how you think you could help us.

You can email contact@consumercouncil.je or call 611161.
