Further opportunities
Another vacant leadership role is that of deputy commissioner of police within the Royal Montserrat Police Service, however the website does not list the salary for this job.
Applicants must be a superintendent or equivalent international rank so they are able to display competency at an executive level.
The Montserrat Police Act requires police officers to retire at 55, therefore candidates must be 53 or younger upon date of appointment, the vacancy document says.
“This is an outstanding opportunity for a senior police leader to work in a unique and vibrant
environment,” it continues.
A headteacher position is up for grabs at an unnamed government primary school with a wage of EC$68,856 to EC$72,192 and EC$2,800 in allowances.
Other jobs include five teaching roles – electronic technology teacher, ICT teacher, PE teacher, French teacher and English teacher – with a wage for each of EC$62,292 to EC$68,856.
The government is also looking for a prison officer, a senior crop protection technician, and a senior policy analyst.
On 11 April, leader of the United Alliance party, Reuben T Meade, said on the radio that senior public sector roles should be advertised to Montserratians only and not foreign workers.
