Job evaluation roadshow: East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust
25 Sep 2026, 09:00 - 30 Sep, 16:00
Choose event information:
Do you work at a site within East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust? We'll be there from 25 – 30 September to talk to you about job evaluation and the band 5 review in England.
How much do you know about job evaluation, the new national nursing job profiles, and how this affects how much you get paid?
We'll be visiting Kent and Canterbury Hospital, William Harvey Hospital, and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital across three days to speak to you about all this and more. We'll have stands where you can come and speak to us about job evaluation, with the opportunity to ask us about what you can be doing now and what to expect.
Look out for us around the wards too where we'll be speaking to you and handing out further information and resources.
You can navigate around this page using the tabs at the top to find out more details about where we'll be and when.
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.
