Relocation & Employment Support
Plan a move to Guernsey for an IT, healthcare or skilled-trades opportunity. Save your preferences, understand the questions to ask an employer and prepare for a possible relocation.
What relocation support can include
Employment permit guidance
An eligible employer can check the relevant Guernsey Employment Permit route and apply through the official employer system, where appropriate. Candidates must also check immigration status separately.
Temporary accommodation
Ask whether staff housing, temporary lodging, rental deposits or help finding a suitable property are offered. Housing access depends on the applicable Population Management conditions.
Travel and moving expenses
Some employers may pay travel, luggage or moving costs; others may not. Confirm what is paid, reimbursement limits and any repayment clause before accepting.
Family and settling in
Ask about dependants, schooling, healthcare registration, relocation timing and the cost of living. Family-related permissions must be assessed for the individual situation.
My relocation preferences
MBDA candidates can record whether they are already on the island, willing to relocate, seeking employer support or self-funding a move. The information remains a saved preference; it is not automatically sent to employers.
Save your relocation preferences: Sign in or register as an MBDA candidate first.
Questions to ask before accepting an offer
| Area | What to verify with the employer |
|---|---|
| Employment | Is this an actual open vacancy? What are the role, salary, contract length, hours and workplace location? |
| Population Management | Will the employer apply for a suitable Employment Permit if required, and what work and housing conditions attach? |
| Immigration | Do you need separate immigration permission or a visa, and who will assist with that process? |
| Accommodation | Is housing provided or sourced? Is it temporary or long-term? Who pays deposits and bills? |
| Relocation package | Are travel, shipping, accommodation or settling-in costs covered? Get a written breakdown and any repayment terms. |
| Family | Are dependants able to accompany you, and what conditions or additional costs may apply? |
Relocation preparation checklist
1. Confirm the job
Check the employer’s identity and current job advertisement. Ask explicitly whether it includes any relocation funding.
2. Check eligibility
Confirm employment-permit, immigration and housing eligibility with official sources and the employer before spending money.
3. Prepare your documents
Keep CV, qualification evidence, references and identity documents ready; share sensitive documents only through trusted official or employer channels.
4. Plan the move
Compare accommodation costs, travel, deposits, essential living costs and likely salary. Obtain written confirmation of the package.
