Since it switched to hybrid working, the Law Officers’ Department has had great feedback from staff. They say that its approach to flexibility makes it a "really nice place to work". One member of staff said: "I’ve never been happier."
The department says it offers staff a rewarding and varied career and has a clear and transparent career structure and a supportive and nurturing team culture.
It is run on an "open-door" principle and encourages ideas and feedback from staff. Employees can have their say in team meetings, directly to line managers or to the members of the senior management team. The annual departmental get-together also provides a forum at which feedback is welcomed.
The attorney general role has been assisted by a solicitor general since at least the 16th century and both roles are Crown appointments, known collectively as "the Law Officers". Today, the Law Officers are supported by a department of more than 80 staff, based in Morier House, in St Helier, Jersey, adjacent to the Island’s Royal Court and States Assembly buildings.
The department provides legal advice to the Government of Jersey, the States Assembly and the Crown. It is an independent public prosecution service for the Island and protects the interests of the Crown and government in civil proceedings. It also assists overseas law enforcement agencies and carries out the statutory and customary law duties of the attorney general.
This organisation is run on strong values / principles
In a recent independent external report on the Law Officers’ Department, the assessor wrote: “Staff spoke extremely positively about the excellent lines of communication and positive leadership in the department, with staff stating they ‘feel appreciated’, ‘the line manager and management team are always thankful’, and ‘the management team is always here for you'.”
I believe I can make a valuable contribution to the success of this organisation
The organisation participates in initiatives to encourage diversity and inclusion, such as the Inspiring Women Into Leadership and Learning programme, the Diversity and Inclusion programme and the Neurodiversity Network.

The Law Officers’ Department has achieved Lexcel accreditation since 2019 and taken part in Best Companies staff engagement surveys since 2020. I am delighted to see that in both of these external assessments, the employees continue to say that the Law Officers’ Department is a happy place in which to work, with “real support for all staff at all levels from management down and also peer to peer support.” I am extremely grateful to all the members of the Department, in every one of our teams, who have maintained the high levels of service expected of the Law Officers’ Department and promoted the supportive team culture within the Department, in particular during these recent challenging times.
