RCN Jersey Branch
If you're an RCN member working in Jersey, you're automatically a member of our Jersey branch. Welcome to your nursing community.
Our branch includes members working at NHS, independent, higher education and care home employers, as well as students.
Getting involved in our branch means more than attending meetings. Whether you’re organising for better conditions, supporting a colleague or pushing for systemic change, your involvement helps turn shared concerns into collective action.
About the Channel Islands and nursing
Jersey is a Crown Dependency and not part of the UK. Jersey has its own directly elected government, different legal and financial system. Although they have publicly funded health system they are not part of the NHS.Crucially for nurses and healthcare professionals, the cost of living is generally higher than the UK and they have different pay systems.
When we refer to Agenda for Change on these pages, this is the pay system used on Jersey – it's not the same as UK Agenda for Change system in terms of pay points or how pay is determined.
Pay is negotiated by the RCN and other relevant unions separately on both Channel Islands as pay has to reflect the unique situation of Jersey.

Fancy a shot?
If I had a choice between a shot of sambuca or a vaccine shot, my preference would be for the former.
