Search back though this site and you will find a posting by Paul Robins dated 4-Feb-04 to quote from this:
'Do not think that the role L419RR Section Manager means the individual in overall charge of the service because it don't. Posts of this nature are covered by the professional manager profiles or the relevant senior EO profiles or the relevant Clinical Scientist Profile, This profile in this format refers to a post heading up Mechanical Services say in an "EBME" service which has Electronic, Anaesthetic and Mechanical and other services for example' - I just with it were a bit clearer in the published profile if it really means section rather than department. Here in York I have 13 staff including Renal and Anaesthetics and report to the Director of FM. I'm paid on EO3 so band 7 would be good news for me.
