Born in St. Helier, Trevor Pitman is married and is 48 years old. Having previously pursued successful career in business management at the beginning of the 1990’s Trevor re-trained as a Youth & Community Development professional, graduating from De Montford University.   He has served the St. Helier community as a Senior Youth Worker since the mid-90s. Trevor has undertaken some ground-breaking work on behalf of young people – including anti-racist initiatives; the promotion of political engagement; citizenship work; and using his skills raise significant funds toward further community/education projects.

As a strong advocate of social justice, in October I stood in the Senatorial election out deep concern about the direction Jersey’s government had taken in recent years. I believe current ministerial policy is creating an ever-widening gap between the ‘haves’ and the ‘have nots’. This is now also placing an increasing financial strain on hardworking middle earners, and leaves the long-term future of many of our young people decidedly uncertain.

Our older generation too – people who have worked hard for Jersey all their lives – are being  made to feel like second class citizens in their own island by the introduction of GST and Income Support scheme that remains significantly flawed. Senior politicians seem wholly unable to get to grips with major issues such as controlling population growth governmental reform.

I feel that St. Helier in particular needs strong representation – our capital really is at a critical point in its history. I believe that I have skills and experience to provide that strong representation for St.Helier - while also playing full role in wider island affairs.
