My wife has managed to get a job in the NHS at the local hospital. Its a new role that she has written the job description for.
The manager has agreed that the job description is correct and has said that he will ask HR to band this.

How is this done and what is the criteria?

Perhaps the "agenda for change" plan could help?

According to my O/H - agenda for change sets out the criteria for the banding in terms of role and responsibilities for grades. Not sure how this works for a totally new role though.

My advice find the closest match at the highest salary and make sure her job description has parity - otherwise if she finds she should be higher she has very little hope of getting re-banded.

A friend of ours took a job as a stop gap. Applied for a job that came up as it was what she did previously. She passed the interview but was told you can't have it because we can't let you move up more than one grade and the job you applied for has a specific grade. Gotta love big organisations.

The job description will be matched against the banding criteria supplied by the government under the agenda for change and is known as "job matching".

Thanks for the quick responses.
Anyone got a copy of this government criteria?

Think it's on the NHS site.
