I'm interested in your previous comment
" you are likely to be matched or evaluated by somebody who knows nothing about what you do i.e. etc."
I have been sitting on job matching panels for several months now, and in order to be able to take part in the process have received suitable training. The training, as with A4C, was jointly conducted by both staff and management representatives. I'm not sure if others within this forum have attened matching training,or will comment on it's content, but the training deliverd to me as a matcher was comprehensive and indepth. From experience I find it both easier and fairer to match jobs that are outside of my profession. Throughout the training process great emphasis is placed in not making assumptions when matching, which is easier if you don't know the job. If the information is not 100% clear in the job description we ask the post holder.
You will be matched to the job description that you have agreed, by trained matchers, whether they be a "a nurse, physio, manager from a different discipline" I would suggest that if you have such reservations that you have a chat with some job mathers from your Trust, as I am always happy to do.
