What is job analysis and job evaluation?

Local job evaluation is required when there is no national profile, due to the job being unique or significantly different or a match to a national profile has proved impossible. It involves a post holder completing a job analysis questionnaire (JAQ), working with job analysts and line management to ensure the JAQ contains all relevant information, which is then evaluated by a job evaluation panel.

Job analysis and job evaluation course

Aims:

  • To know how to analyse and evaluated jobs using a JAQ.
  • To be able to work with a partner.
  • To know how bias can occur in job analysis and job evaluation.
  • To be able to complete the appropriate documentation.

Outcomes:

  • Once successful training has taken place, participants will be qualified to be a job analyst or sit on a job evaluation panel made up of both management and staff representatives.
  • Delegates will not be qualified to sit on a job matching panel unless they have already completed the two-day job matching course
  • Participants will not be qualified to train other individuals in job analysis/evaluation. Only those approved by the NHS Staff Council Job Evaluation Group are qualified to deliver training in partnership.
