who can give info about finding work in guernsey,as a UK resident, taking into account residency restrictions?

I have considered moving to Guernsey after being associated with the Island for many years,and wish to know the position re working and living there. I am likely to look for a job in the finance sector or other professional clerical type work, but I am aware that there are restrictions on moving to the Island. I would like to know about how likely this is to develop, or whether I would be wasting my time by pursuing the matter. I believe you can move there if you have permanent employment but have not been able to find out more about this. I am presently resident in UK permanently, and in full time employment, having been with the same employer for 20 years. I am single and have no real ties in respect of personal affairs.

1. I have read before there are quite definiate restrictions on who can/can't move and work in the Channel Islands, the website below may be of help
2. hiya have you tryed contacting the Guernsey tourest board & even try imagrations department as they mite have some infomation that could be of a help to you bets of luck in your search
3. It remains difficult to enter Guernsey. Firstly there are two housing markets 1. Local Market (for locals) 2. Open Market (open to all). Secondly to get a job you need a work permit. To get a work permit you need to either live in Open Market property which is very expensive or get a licence to live in Local Market. To get a licence you need to have an employer who applies on your behalf for a job he can't fill locally. Licences are given out sparingly mainly to qualified professional. Other than meeting a local bloke and marrying him, some people find sharing Open Market property affordable. If you've been to Guernsey do you know anyone who can put you up for a while? I think you're allowed to stay 3 months under this arangement which may give you a chance to investigate things. I've put a link below which gives the official view. Good luck.
4. Link to a Guernsey page which has link to tourist site which may help.
