Job evaluation roadshow: Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals
08 Sep 2026, 10:00 - 09 Sep, 16:00
Choose event information:
Do you work at Doncaster Royal Infirmary or Bassetlaw Hospital? We'll be there from 8 – 9 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 Doncaster Royal Infirmary and Bassetlaw Hospital across two days to speak to you about all this and more. We'll have stands where you can come and speak to us outside the canteen, as well as presentations to talk you through 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.

Yorkshire and Humber Pay Delivery Officer Lydia Golby
Lydia is the pay delivery officer for Yorkshire and the Humber. Lydia brings a wealth of experience from across the healthcare sector, having worked in both the NHS and the independent sector as a children's nurse. More recently, she held a strategic leadership role within a large health and care system, delivering change and supporting workforce development at a senior level.
In her previous position as an NHS Deputy Director of Nursing, Lydia combined leadership responsibilities with a strong commitment to staff representation. She is passionate about fairness, equity, fostering positive workplace cultures, and ensuring that the valuable contributions of healthcare professionals are recognised and rewarded.
Lydia’s commitment to supporting and advocating for staff was strengthened during a period of significant organisational change, which inspired her to become an RCN Steward. She wanted to help ensure that colleagues' voices were heard and represented effectively. Around the same time, Lydia was honoured to be elected chair of her local RCN Branch, where she thoroughly enjoyed working alongside members and supporting the development of the branch.
Lydia said: “I am excited about the opportunity to connect with nursing colleagues across the region and to raise awareness of the government's commitment to the Band 5 nursing job description review. The ‘Know your worth’ campaign provides a fantastic opportunity to engage with members, share information, and celebrate the value of our profession. I look forward to meeting many of you through Trust roadshows, RCN webinars, and other events throughout the campaign.”
