How do I get there?
Travel arrangements are fully paid for and organised by the relevant authority at start of contract. Airlines include British European and Aurigny Airlines.
How much is accommodation?
Accommodation is provided for single qualified nurses who do not hold residential qualifications. This consists of the nurses home and the Board of Health also has a number of outside house and single unit flats at higher rents than the nurses home. Housing licences can be obtained for a limited number of staff for fixed periods.
In the Nurses home, rent begins at £80 per month and is deducted from pay. Slightly higher rates apply to external units of accommodation.
What is the rate of Tax?
The standard income tax rate is 20%. Personal allowances are favourable in comparison with the UK. These are greater than £7000 for a single person and over £14000 for a married couple. Social insurance is calculated at 4.5% of pay according to minimum and maximum pay levels. Full time staff on a fixed term contract of one year or less may choose not to contribute to the pension scheme. Full time permanent staff over the age of 18 must join the Employees Pension Scheme.
