The Channel Islands run a separate system so your new employer would have to apply from scratch. When I last checked one of the Channel Islands would accept a UK Work Permit for six months, but I've never heard of any agreements theother way. I think they would have to advertise unless the application meets the Tier 1 criteria.I am a non-EU national having a Guernsey (Channel Islands) work permit and has just been offered a job with another employer in London. How do I switch employer, does my new employer has to lodge a fresh work permit application or just inform the Home Office.
The OP does not have a UK Work Permit, the employer is going to have to show advertising if the post does not meet the Tier 1 Criteria.If you are going to work in similar job then the new employer might not need to advertise the Job. However if the job description changes then they have to advertise the job.

The Channel Islands have separate but similar immigration rules as far as I am aware. I am not sure that strictly speaking they are in the UK, Guernsey has it's own parliament and the laws in the UK do not necessarliy apply to Guernsey. There is a big clue to this, that their website is not .gov.uk, the Guernsey government website is http://www.gov.gg/

Oh so you have started Tier system already have you? Dont confuse your self or others please its not appropriate to use these terms as they are not implemented yet.
What if the person is currently in the
Channel Islands or the Isle of Man?
50. Where a person has been given leave to enter
or remain by the authorities of the Channel Islands
or the Isle of Man and then proceeds directly to the
United Kingdom, that leave and any conditions
attached to it will be treated as if it had been
imposed in the United Kingdom. Provided this
leave is still current, the person will not require
entry clearance to enter the UK.
51. If you, the employer, seek to employ the
person in the UK as a work permit holder, you will
need to submit a work permit application in the
normal way. If a work permit approval is granted,
the person can travel to the UK (provided they are
still in possession of leave granted by one of the
island authorities) and, once here, can submit an
application for leave to remain associated with the
work permit.
52. Such an application for leave should, in all
cases, be submitted:
• before the person’s extant leave expires;
• within six months of the issuing of the work
permit approval letter;
• before the person takes up work in the UK.
53. Once leave has been granted, the person can
then take up the employment authorised on the
work permit letter.
54. Applications of this sort are considered to be
‘in-country’ cases and leave will only be granted in
circumstances where the Immigration Rules allow
people to switch from the category within which
their existing leave was granted, to the category
into which they are seeking to move. This means
that, only those people whose leave to enter or
remain, granted by the authorities of the Channel
Islands or the Isle of Man, was within a category
from which they are permitted to switch into work
permit employment, are likely to have their leave to
remain applications approved.
55. Those people who are in the Channel Islands
or the Isle of Man within a category from which
switching into work permit employment is not
permitted (for example, as a visitor) or those who
are resident on one of the Islands but whose
extant leave will expire before they can submit a
fresh leave application, should be advised to leave
the Common Travel Area1 and seek entry
clearance under the appropriate category.

The main types of employer sponsored UK work permit are:
Tier 1 UK Work Permit - issued by Work Permits UK for professions that are on the Skills Shortage Occupation List. Tier 1 work permits in the UK require less evidence to be produced to prove that a person could not easily be found, as Work Permits UK have already recognised that there are a shortage of people in the UK with those skills.
Tier 2 UK Work Permit - issued by Work Permits UK for those professions that do not fall into the Tier 2 Work Permit category.
Training and Work Experience Scheme (TWES) - issued by Work Permits (UK) for the purposes of training an individual. This is a shorter term working permit and further information can be found on our TWES Work Permit Page.
Intra-Company Transfer: issued by Work Permits (UK), this Working Permit is designed to allow overseas employers to bring key members of staff to their UK office.
