Academic-related role profiles

16 January 2008

Since the introduction of the framework agreement in 2004 many institutions have developed generic role profiles for academic-related staff using either the Hay or HERA schemes as the underpinning job evaluation scheme.

Model profiles

UCU has developed a set of model academic-related role profiles:

Local role profiles

The profiles provided below have been agreed by local UCU branches and have been used in the evaluation of academic-related staff. Note these were introduced before UCU's model profiles above.
