Look out for us around the wards too where we'll be speaking to you and handing out further information and resources.
Why this matters
Last year, new national nursing profiles were published; these are used as part of the job evaluation process. This, in turn, determines the pay bands for all NHS roles on Agenda for Change contracts.
Your job description is a crucial part of this and needs to be an accurate reflection of your role.
The government has instructed NHS employers in England to review every band 5 job description, but this is just the start. All nursing jobs should be reviewed or have recently undergone a review against these new profiles – no matter which band you’re on.
This is your opportunity to speak to us and highlight your concerns so you feel empowered to engage with the job evaluation process.
Multiple locations
Who will I be able to speak to?
During our visits, in addition to our staff and representatives, you'll be able to meet the pay delivery officer for your region.
South East Region Pay Delivery Officer Clare Harrison
Prior to joining the RCN in 2011 Clare worked in a business environment, representing small companies.
Since then, she has been a full-time RCN Regional Officer for 13 years, based in the Croydon office and supporting, representing and advising RCN members living in the Kent area.
Clare is currently working as one of two pay delivery officers covering the South East region.
