Job Descriptions

The University has developed a job description template to gather accurate and up-to-date information about all non-clinical jobs in the University. Guidance on how to complete the form is available, including a number of worked examples (please see links below). If you experience any difficulties completing the template, please contact your College/Section HR team.

The template was developed and agreed in partnership with the local representatives of all the recognised campus trade unions as part of the Framework Agreement (2006).  The template is laid out in such a way to allow Role Analysts to score each role and place this in the University's grade structure.
