• They are not detailed descriptions of the activities of particular jobs.
• They were devised using a number of sources of information including benchmark job descriptions and grade profiles in comparative HE institutions.
• The grade profiles were tested and developed with the assistance of senior staff and trade union representatives, and further refined in piloting.
