Job Descriptions

Les

We can't help directly with providing job descriptions, but hopefully other users of Workplace Law's forum might be able to.

In terms of the legal angle, you should make sure that any job descriptions and person specifications you use when recruiting are based on fair selection criteria and that these are consistently applied. If a job applicant is discriminated against during the recruitment process, they can make a claim to the Employment Tribunal ? it isn?t necessary for them to have been employed by the company. To avoid all forms of discrimination, advertisements and job descriptions should be relevant, and identify the key skills, experience and qualifications necessary to do the job.

Does anybody know of a reliable source for obtaining specimen job descriptions? As examples, I am currently looking to put together job specs for a Facilities Manager (Hard Services), Facilities Manager (Soft Services) and for a Receptionist for our Conference Suite.
