Liberate Jersey jobs and careers

About Liberate Jersey

Liberate is the Channel Islands’ equality and diversity charity. We have branches in Jersey and Guernsey, serving islanders in both Bailiwicks. Liberate was formed in February 2014 in Guernsey and in August 2014 in Jersey in order to steer the Channel Islands’ response to the change in UK legislation that brought in equal marriage, ensuring that the islands’ LGBTQ+ voice was heard by its governments. 2017 saw the introduction of same-sex marriage legislation in Guernsey. In February 2018, the long-awaited legislation was finally passed in Jersey and, later in the year, Alderney. Since our formation, we have been involved in consultations with the States of Jersey and Guernsey on various pieces of legislation including anti-discrimination law. In September 2015, Liberate was responsible for delivering the first ever Pride to be held in the Channel Islands. (For more information about Channel Islands Pride, please visit channelislandspride.org) Liberate launched the DIFERA employer accreditation scheme in May 2017 that demonstrates to employees (past, present and future), to clients and suppliers that an organisation places Diversity, Inclusion, Fairness, Equality, Respect and Acceptance at the heart of what it does. In December 2019, Liberate launched its Accès scheme for organisations to demonstrate to employees and customers that they have made the reasonable adjustments needed to welcome people with disabilities to their workplace. In April 2020, Liberate launched its counselling service in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. It supports anyone in Jersey from a minority group who is experiencing mental ill health. In June 2020, Liberate linked up with the BLM Jersey group to support anyone living and working in Jersey who does not identify as white.
