Page 1 of 1 Model Job Description When using this model document, please replace the Business Link logo with your own company/organisation details. Job title: Department: Reports to: Staff responsibilities: Job purpose: [State the overall purpose of the role e.g. to provide secretarial and administration support to the management team and act as a first point of contact for clients contacting the office.] Responsibilities: [Provide information about the duties the employee will be expected to undertake. You may also wish to state the expected time spent on each duty as a percentage] You may be required to carry out other duties, as are within your capabilities and level of responsibility, in order to meet the needs of the business. Guidance Notes: Job descriptions will tend to be very specific to the organisations that use them in terms of style and content. The following ideas can be used in drawing up a job description: • Provide details of how great a proportion of the overall job a responsibility takes up. • Divide up responsibilities into sections of the job e.g. a Recruitment and Training Manager would have responsibilities that are purely recruitment and responsibilities which are purely training, as well as responsibilities which cover both parts of the role. • You may like to include sections on location and performance indicators. • If you create skills/selection criteria matrix this can be reflected in the job description. • Many organisations combine the job description and person specification to form one document.
