The NHS Job Evaluation Scheme makes provision for most NHS jobs to be matched to nationally evaluated profiles on the basis of information from job descriptions, person specifications and additional information. National job profiles additionally provide a framework against which to check the consistency of local evaluations. Profiles work on the premise that there are posts in the NHS which are fairly standard and which have many common features. Indeed, one of the benefits of job evaluation is that it uses a common language and a common set of terms to describe all jobs. Job evaluation is about highlighting similarities between jobs via common language and measurement. Profiles apply these principles to particular job groups. Under the terms of the Agenda for Change Agreement, it is the responsibility of the Job Evaluation Group (JEG) to produce the national job profiles. JEG is a subgroup of the NHS Staff Council and consists of representatives of both staff and management side. The development of national job profiles is based on completed job analysis questionnaires. The draft profiles are then the subject of consultation with a wider reference group and are agreed by the executive of the NHS Staff Council. Agreed and approved national job profiles are published on this website for information but the Computer Aided Job Evaluation (CAJE) system, to which every trust has access, should be regarded as the authoritative version for the purpose of job matching.
