Still in protracted discussions over banding. First panel 6, second panel 4 because of manager submitting wrong JD after winning of grievance. Anyone aware of table for qualifications equivalents that can be used id Personal Specs.

To get a band 6 you would need a degree plus at least 3 years relevant experience. Band 5 would be just the degree or HNC plus experience. Band 4 would be just HNC or NVQ 3 plus experience. These are general rules of thumb and are not guaranteed to get the outcomes I've just mentioned as the qualifications,training and experience factor is only one factor but it is a reasonable guide to the actual final banding. Hope this helps

Here is the AfC web site with lots of useful links and here is the AfC handbook that gives you all the guidance for assessing job descriptions.
Remember the qualifications are also "or equivalent". Ward sisters tend to be band 7 but how many have a masters degree are even first degrees for the older ones?
Have a look at the Healthcare Scientist job profiles here. The section has Medical Technology Technician profiles from band 4 to band 8b.
Make sure your JD has all the right buzz words to match the grade it should be.
