In a pro-active move the Cayman Islands Government has taken steps to minimise the potential impact of the global financial crisis and economic slow down on the government budget.
As such, with effect from the 27th October 2008, the Head of the Civil Service, under instruction from Cabinet, has declared a moratorium on recruitment across the Civil Service. However hiring will not inhibit the appointment of necessary and essential personnel such as policemen, doctors, nurses and other specialised positions.
As a consequence, there are currently reduced opportunities to obtain employment within all public service entities, including statutory authorities and Government owned companies.
