There are a wide variety of roles needed to run the University. Each role will either have a unique job description or a generic job description where a number of people do essentially the same job, for example a Precinct Cleaner . It is essential that the job description is an accurate reflection of the role being undertaken and the job description should therefore be regularly reviewed by the member of staff and their manager in conjunction with the guidance on writing job descriptions.
The University has its own job evaluation scheme known as the University of Bristol Job Evaluation Scheme (UBJES), based on an established job evaluation method developed by Korn Ferry. UBJES is used to determine the correct grade for all roles in order that the University can pay fairly in relation to job size.
As a way to be more transparent about the various roles undertaken at the University and provide a pathway for staff to understand the skills needed to develop their career, a job description repository has been created. Currently, the repository only has job descriptions based on the latest template but as more roles are transferred to this template, the library will continue to expand.
