Hi all, has anyone had their nhs job rebanded. I am currently a band 4 performing at a 6 or 7. My manager is aware and said we need to look into rebanding the role due to my performance and responsibilities.. how long does it take? Process has not started yet!

Sorry everyone I didn’t realise so many commented!! So I am not in a trust I work within the ICB. We are a small team (band 9 director, 2 band 8a’s and me project support band 4) for the UEC programme across a region. It is a newly made team so there was suspicion as to what my role would become.. I am now more than capable of the band 4 duties and capable of taking on and leading projects of my own (the UEC programme is large) there is many different aspects to the role but mainly due to dealing with very senior people, leading projects, leading steering groups and workshops, making decisions and making changes within the ICB.. initially to gain knowledge to develop, however it is clear I am more able and comfortable taking on more so we have a scope to reband my role to take on more band 6 or 7 duties aswell as what I already do. Funding is there within our programme to re structure and have a formal meeting Monday for key detail on it.. I just wondered how long a rebanding takes from the start! Xx

What you have described isn't really a rebanding it sounds like your manager has recognised there is a need in the service for a new higher banded role, but if that is the case it should be advertised to all eligible candidates you shouldn't automatically move into it. Depending on the size of your team, if they advertise internally you may be the only person eligible to express and interest but its for the manager to sort the job description, financial approval etc.

You need a degree to be band 5 or above if clinical?
I'm surprised at this to be honest. Lots of therapy assistants, for instance, are band 4 throughout their career but can not progress higher without an undergrad.

But in terms of 'rebranding' it doesn't really work as simply as that, you'd have to get shortlisted and pass a band 7 interview and demonstrate your skills.

Actually I know at least two, maybe three, band 7's who don't have degrees. Crazy but true. (NHS Scotland)
