What is the proposed level of any new or altered role?

This should be based on internal relativities, the use of a ‘job bank’ of Hay-evaluated standard roles, and any previous relevant evaluations.

Budget impact
Please confirm that you have discussed the possible budgetary impact with your finance team & relevant budget holder and provide details on the resources to fund any required increase in the staffing budget.

Change in Duties & Responsibilities
Please explain how the role's duties and responsibilities have changed. Your response should specifically address any changes in complexity and scale of the duties and the likely duration of the change(s). If the role is taking on new tasks/responsibilities, explain the reason for this and provide full details if they have come from another role.

Impact on other roles
Do the changes to the role(s) have an impact on any other jobs? If so, provide details of the impact on another role/team.

Business Case
This should include the reason for the request, e.g., a change in the external environment (new regulatory requirements, substantial changes in volumes) or an internal opportunity to improve efficiency and effectiveness (by redesigning processes), and the benefits associated with the change.

Recruitment options - how do you intend to recruit for the role(s)?

  • External and internal recruitment
  • Internal recruitment - whole university
  • Internal recruitment - limited to a specific department or group

Additional information about how you intend to fill any new role(s)
This will need to follow established university processes and be proportionate to the scale of the proposed change. Any significant changes in structure must be implemented through the university’s Change Management procedure. You should discuss this with your Strategic People Partner to ensure you comply with university policy.

Required documentation

  • New or amended job description(s) showing clearly where changes in job content are proposed
  • Existing and proposed organisational charts should clearly identify all roles impacted by the change and enable the panel to fully understand the operating model in the affected area(s).
  • Confirmation that the Sponsoring Senior Manager has approved the request
