Open to all

Job matching (JM) is one of two ways the NHS Job Evaluation Scheme has to determine the pay banding of roles.  In JM jobs are compared against nationally evaluated job profiles, following a set methodology that considers local job descriptions, person specifications and additional written or verbal evidence, thereby avoiding the need for local evaluations

Where jobs do not match to a national job matching profile, a full local evaluation must be undertaken.

Aims of the course:

  • To understand the purpose of job evaluation.
  • To understand the underpinning principles of the NHS Job Evaluation Scheme.
  • To understand the effect of bias and different perceptions.
  • To learn about the NHS Job Evaluation Scheme and its structure.
  • To understand and practice the job matching process.

Course format:

The virtual job matching course runs across two days from 9:30am to no later than 5pm each day and is delivered via Zoom.

All participants must attend and actively participate on both training days to receive a certificate of completion. Unfortunately, due to the structure of the course content any time missed away from the session will mean we can’t issue that attendance certificate

Course materials:

All course materials will be available on our learning platform. However, we heavily advise that core materials are printed ahead of the course. We will email these in advance of the course.

Course cost:

£340.00+VAT per person 

Payment can be made by debit and credit card or by requesting an invoice, which will incur a 5 per cent admin charge on top of the training fees.
