The evaluation of a new post begins with the completion of an Evaluation of New Job Form by the appropriate line manager. The line manager should have discussed the proposal for a new post, for example, arising from a restructuring, with a Personnel Adviser before completing the form.
It is the facts of the post which are evaluated, so evidence by way of descriptions and examples are important. Please do not copy in sections from the job evaluation manual as an alternative to providing examples or descriptions. The narrative boxes on the form will expand automatically as information is entered.
Completed forms, either electronic or manual, are to be sent to the Personnel Manager (Operations) at HQ who will arrange for the evaluation to be carried out. The line manager may be asked for supplementary information to aid the evaluation.
When the evaluation has been undertaken, the line manager will be contacted with a job evaluation description of the demands of the post, the provisional grade and a description of the process to final sign off for the grade. The process is illustrated in the New Post Evaluation Flow Chart.
