Scott takes over at WORC
(CNS): Deputy Director Jeremy Scott has been appointed as the acting director at Workforce Opportunities and Residency Cayman (WORC) after the two-year long secondment of Sharon Roulstone ended Friday. The immigration ministry’s chief officer, Wesley Howell, said that Scott’s “vast experience with immigration, enforcement and leadership” made him the best person to lead WORC as the department responds to the needs of Caymanian workers and businesses in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Howell thanked Interim Director Sharon Roulstone, saying she was instrumental in leading the transition from the former Cayman Islands Immigration Department and the National Workforce Development Agency. He said she had applied her vast knowledge of immigration laws to implement and achieve the new objectives of WORC.
Roulstone had been seconded to the job from the Office of the Ombudsman in March 2018. It is understood that she will now be returning to the office, heading up the arm dealing with complaints about civil servants.

Don’t know the guy, but government always put civil servants into these positions to control them. I do want to say that its a start to seeing a new face in leadership. Start removing all the old over stayed civil servants that’s been in government 40 plus years.
I hope he don’t get fat and over weight like all the others.
Congrats Jeremy you will take the country to the next level
“…dealing with complaints about civil servants”. I thought the Complaints Commissioners law or whatever it’s called excluded the civil service from its scrutiny?
Congrats Jeremy. Your experience, leadership and expertise, plus your caring personality will indeed result in positive results.
an impossible task, but I wish Jeremy the best.
Sharon did a fantastic job considering she ran 2 departments at once basically
which two she could barely keep up with worc on its own.
1 Deputy- Kyle McLean and 4 Heads
Maybe this should have happened far earlier. Glad to see Mr. Scott at the helm and looking forward to the pace of progress picking up under his leadership.
Well whoop dee freakin do…….
Jeremy has the experience, knowledge, interpersonal skills…but most importantly, the character, to steer this department in a direction that will be fair and judicious for all. His relaxed manner is a wonderful cover for his extreme integrity. Good going bro.
That’s one less Deputy Director, but how many does that leave?, plus all the other Heads of Dept.
Great job Sharon- our Caymanian girl!
All the best Jeremy- son of the soil!
Ok now let’s get down to the business of looking after best interests of Caymanians.
So just another day then?
It sure hasn’t been but definitely should have been.
Congratulations Jeremy!
I’ve known Jeremy since we were kids on the Brac together. He was always a regular, fun kid, but we all respected him because first he was the best athlete at every sport but second, he never made us feel that we weren’t just as good.
