There was submitted a report by the Acting Head of Service relative to a proposed increase in the number of people who carry out the role of job sizing co-ordinator on both the management and teacher’s sides of the Joint Negotiating Committee (JNC).
The report intimated that a short life working group was recently formed involving key personnel who were involved in the job sizing process for promoted teaching posts. One of the outcomes identified from the first meeting was the requirement to increase the number of people who carry out the job sizing co-ordinator role. Both the management and teacher’s sides had secured additional job sizing co-ordinators and Appendix 1 to the report detailed a full list of the names for the 2016/17 session. Training would be provided for all new co-ordinators prior to them starting their role.
The report emphasised that for any post undergoing the job sizing process, a job size co-ordinator for the management and teacher’s side must sign it off at an appropriate point.
There was discussion in relation to the potential implications of the named person scheme on job sizing. It was agreed that this would be looked at as a separate issue and that further discussions would be held between the management and teacher’s side and that it would also be discussed during the job sizing training courses and a report brought back to a future meeting of the Committee.
DECIDED:
(a) That the appointment of the job sizing co-ordinators for session 2016/17 be approved;
(b) That it be affirmed that both a job size co-ordinator from the management and teacher’s side sign it off at an appropriate point;
(c) That further discussions be held between the management and teacher’s side in relation to the potential implications of the named person scheme on job sizing; and
(d) That the named person scheme be discussed during the job sizing training courses and a report brought back to a future meeting of the Committee.
