Find information and guidance about the University's grading process and job descriptions
Job descriptions for roles in grades 1-10 are all HERA evaluated (graded) when the post is created. Staff currently in post whose job evolved over a period of at least 6 months (and are not within probationary period) may also request for their grade to be reviewed (apply for regrading). Requests for both grading and regrading are managed by the Reward team via a staff request raised in the University's HR system. Please see the service status indicator in the right hand bar for current turnaround times.
If you require a job description to be checked outside of either of the grading or regrading process, for example if you are restructuring the duties in a team please contact the Reward team for advice.
Please note the Reward Team does not grade:
research job descriptions, these should be created using generic job descriptions available on the website,
clinical job descriptions,
academic job descriptions,
roles in grades 1-3 unless specifically requested (these should be based on existing roles and generic job descriptions),
apprenticeship job descriptions,
requests submitted under position type: Existing Post - New Contract, Existing Post - Contract Amendment, New Post – Duplicate, New Post – Correction, New Post - Generic Jd, New Post – Existing Jd, Replacement / Refill
