IT Skills in job descriptions

default-16x9

I have been asked to review our standard job descriptions to ensure we are including enough detail of the IT skills required. Has anyone gone through this process? I would really appreciate and hints/tips or examples that anyone could share with me. Thanks.

    The specific information for each job should be contained in the person spec and depends on the level required. Under skills you could have for example CLAIT, NVQ 2 in IT, NVQ 3 in IT, RSA 1, 2 or 3, demonstrable ability to use Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Access, etc, degree in IT or equivalent, etc.

  4. Role Profiling
    Hi

    In my current company we don’t use JDs anymore, we use ‘Role Profiles’ which outline:

    – What level the role is set at in each of 12 competencies (there are 5 levels)

    – Who the role reports to and the purpose of the role

    – Key task responsibilities and areas of responsibility

    – An IT Profile – what packages are used for the division/department and to what level (Basic-Advanced)

    – A Technical Skills and Knowledge Profile for the role and to what level

    – A HSE Profile and to what level required

    I could email you a sample if you like – my email address is kate_southall@vodafone.net – mail me asap so I can get this out to you before Friday.
