NHS Job Evaluation Community of Practice (CoP)

Supported by NHS Employers, this community of practice is for staff-side and employer-side job evaluation (JE) leads from local organisations.

The Job Evaluation Community of Practice is a network for local job evaluation leads and HR professionals with primary responsibility for job evaluation. This vibrant and collaborative community is delivered in partnership with the Job Evaluation Group (JEG) and includes representatives from the devolved administrations.

The community offers members a space to connect with peers, discuss current issues in job evaluation, receive direct updates from subject matter experts, share knowledge and seek support with challenges they may be facing.

•    To build a community of job evaluation leads with an emphasis on knowledge and practice exchange.
•    To support local initiatives to build job evaluation capacity.
•    To provide access to expert advice and guidance on relevant issues.
•    To create a direct link between the community group and the JEG.
•    To create a safe space for development, problem solving and seeking advice.
Our meetings are held quarterly via MS Teams. Each session lasts two hours and follows a structured agenda to reflect topics of interest to our members.
We encourage participation from job evaluation leads across all trusts nationally. Attendees are welcome to cascade key information and insights from the meetings to their colleagues on panels and within HR teams.

Membership:

As this is primarily a group to share experience and learning, membership is restricted to those in the service who have a coordinating/lead role for job evaluation in their organisations. This includes employer-side, staff-side and also HR with job evaluation responsibility.
It is not for staff who sit on panels, although it is our hope that the leads will cascade information to all their local practitioners.
If you do not match this criteria but wish to receive more information on job evaluation, please visit our job evaluation web page or email us directly.
The role of the job evaluation leads is to support the organisation to maintain specialist detailed knowledge of the NHS Job Evaluation Scheme and processes. They will be experienced JE practitioners, with one representing management and one representing, and appointed by, a recognised trade unions/staff-side in the organisation.
Partnership working is an essential requisite of the JE Scheme. It is essential that the organisation has a partnership pair of job evaluation leads, together they share the responsibility and ownership of the JE processes and how they operate within the organisation, supports the transparency and integrity of the process.
