Job evaluation training
In line with the national NHS Terms and Conditions of Service Handbook, every job evaluation practitioner is required to be up to date on current practices, before they take part in local panels/processes (including consistency checking).
NHS Employers offers four different practical training courses for prospective and experienced practitioners. All courses are delivered in partnership by experienced Job Evaluation Group (JEG) approved trainers and all courses use training materials endorsed by the NHS Staff Council.
The courses should be completed in order, as the second, third and fourth courses require attendees to have a level of experience in job matching.
We can run all of our courses in one of two ways:
- Centralised courses - The centralised training offer is available for individual bookings or organisations that have fewer than 12 members of staff in need of training. These courses are usually run online, with sessions available throughout the year.
- Commissioned courses - Employers can ask us to deliver training for their organisation. Courses are usually run online, but can be delivered in-person should the commissioning organisation be able to provide suitable accommodation. Where organisations don't have enough staff to fill a course, they may wish to speak to neighbouring organisations and commission it jointly.
Our training courses:
- Stage 1 - Job matching course
- Stage 2 - Consistency checking
- Stage 3 - Job analysis and job evaluation
- Stage 4 - Refresher training
