Jane Poole-Wilson (nee Kissack)

Born and grew up on the Isle of Man. Trained and qualified as a solicitor in London. After working in

London for 11 years as an employment lawyer I returned to live on the Isle of Man in 2005. Since

then I have worked designing and delivering training on HR and employment law matters to staff,

managers and HR specialists in a variety of financial services organisations and large corporates.

Education

Ballakermeen High School (1982-89);

St Catherine’s College, Oxford University (1989-92) (MA Oxon Modern History);

Chester College of Law (1992-94) (CPE law conversion course and Legal Practice Course);

Legal training contract with Eversheds, London (1994-96). Admitted as a Solicitor in England & Wales.

Wide employment experience

Eversheds, London ( 1996-2001)– associate solicitor specialising in employment law advice. Work

covered both litigation and advisory support to clients. I was involved in liaising with clients to

respond to the UK government consultation on the implementation of the Working Time Directive

into national law. Six month secondment to UK Financial Services Authority during 2000 – this

involved advising on the employment aspects of merging the various regulatory bodies that pre-

existed the FSA;

Simmons & Simmons, London (2001-2003) – associate solicitor in Employment Group. Work

involved the full range of employment law advice as well as designing and delivering bespoke

training on HR matters. Six month secondment to UBS Investment Bank during 2003;

UBS Investment Bank (2003-2005) - principal in house employment lawyer with responsibility for

overseeing and advising on HR matters across the Europe, Middle East and Africa region of the Bank;

Byrne Dean Associates Ltd (2005 – 2016) – I worked initially as an associate and from 2009 as

executive manager for this consultancy specialising in providing employment related support and

training for multi-national organisations;

Isle of Man Legal Aid Deputy Certifying Officer (2007 – 2010) - the role involved considering the

legal merits of Civil Legal Aid applications, reviewing aspects of Criminal Legal Aid applications and

liaising with Advocates and Civil Servants involved in Legal Aid administration.

I am used to working with and advising board level/senior executives in large financial and other

multi-national organisations, and working in different jurisdictions ( although based in the Isle of

Man since 2005, I have travelled regularly for face to face client work to London, Continental Europe

and made several trips to Asia Pacific and the US).

Working as the Deputy Legal Aid Certifying Officer, particularly as a result of considering the family

related and care proceedings cases, I gained an insight into some of the challenges faced by people

in more vulnerable situations on the Island and the agencies seeking to help them.

My skills include the ability to assimilate and analyse information in order to assess legal merits and

provide legal advice, reviewing and advising on primary and secondary legislation and its

implications, and presentation and speaking skills in a variety of forums (from Board and senior

executive strategy meetings, through employee forum meetings, to training sessions ranging in size

from 10 to over 100 participants).

Having decided to take a career break to focus more on family responsibilities, I am currently self-

employed, providing employment training advice and support, as well as engaged in voluntary roles

on the Island.

Voluntary experience

Trustee for St Christopher’s Isle of Man (since July 2016) Trustee work including visiting the

residential care facilities, secure facility and Aftercare services provided for young people has shown

me the incredible work St Christopher’s staff are doing to help vulnerable young people and

highlighted the difficulties faced by some. It has also shown how the charity sector can partner

effectively with Government Departments;

Parent Governor at Marown Primary School (since September 2016);

Regularly volunteer at Marown School (supporting the School Council, public speaking, swimming,

school productions, school trips and fund raising events);

1st Marown Beaver Scout Leader (2011-2016) organised and ran Beaver Scout meetings and

activities;

Involved in supporting other community groups including Marown Youth and Community Players,

Crosby Cricket Club and Western Vikings RUFC.

Personal

I live in Glen Vine and am married with two sons, aged 12 and 8. Both sons regularly play rugby for

Western Vikings RUFC and cricket for Crosby Cricket Club. My eldest son is a member of the Isle of

Man Cricket Squad.

I sing with local choir, Musicale – we regularly perform concerts for charity groups and churches on

the Island, as well as participating in the Manx Music Festival. Past extensive involvement in local

theatre including many productions at the Gaiety Theatre and Villa Marina with the Douglas Choral

Union, Service Players, and Christine Wild Theatre School. I continue to support the Arts as much as I

can.

I enjoy Pilates, swimming and walking – and have made it to Peel twice in the Parish Walk!
