About
A Role Description Development Guideline and macro-enabled Role Description template have been developed to support implementation of key aspects of the Government Sector Employment Act 2013, in particular the creation of roles based on the NSW Public Sector Capability Framework.
The Role Description serves a range of workforce management purposes, including the basis for job evaluation, a source of information for job applicants, the basis for deciding the capability levels to be assessed in recruiting to a role, and a reference point for performance agreements, reviews and development.
Role Descriptions for NSW Public Service Senior Executive roles should be based on the NSW Public Service Senior Executive Work Level Standards (WLS).
Wherever possible, Role Descriptions should be generic, rather than specific to individual roles. Increased use of generic Role Descriptions in place of highly individualised Role Descriptions will maximise efficiency, promote sector wide consistency and facilitate employee mobility. Role Descriptions will change over time, in response to factors such as changing priorities, resources and adjustments.
