Staff pay and grading
structures
As with other NHS organisations, NEAS has a single pay
system in operation, known as 'Agenda for Change'. It applies
to all directly employed NHS Staff with the exception of doctors,
dentists and some very senior managers. This means that everyone
doing the same job is on the same pay scale. National pay scales
can be found
here.
There are three core elements that make-up Agenda for
Change:
- Job evaluation
- Harmonised terms and conditions
- The Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF)
Together, these tools have dramatically simplified the process
of designing new ways of working and the establishment of extended
roles. Agenda for Change provides NHS organisations with the
necessary tools to enable them to deliver the workforce changes
that are needed in order to successfully implement current policy,
and achieve large scale system reform.
