The 16 factors of job evaluation
Guidance for nursing staff and managers
In the NHS, the job evaluation process measures the skills, responsibilities and effort that is required for a job role across 16 specific factors.
Each factor is broken down into levels and scored individually. The NHS Job Evaluation Handbook gives detailed information on the available levels for each of the 16 factors, organised into three themes; knowledge and skills, responsibilities and effort and environment. The higher the level, the more complex the skill, responsibility or demand.
These scores are added together to produce a total points score for the job. The total points score determines which Agenda for Change pay band the job fits into.
