we have band 5 senior tech with 5 to 15 years experience and band 6 section managers with 15 to 25 years experience, currently 3 posts empty and i am still waiting to submit review info for my afc grading.5 years later! up here if you had an hnd and no experience you wouldn’t even get a band 4 job, afc has made it impossible to recruit new staff rant over.
