James Paget Hospital, Early Implementor.
This is what I think has happened there.

Chief Technician MTO4 + 3star points to Band 8a
Senior Technician MTO4 to Band 6
Technician X2 MTO3 + 3star points to Band 6
Technician MTO3 to Band 5
Technician X2 MTO2 to Band 4

forty five

As I am a MTO 4 + 2stars will I be graded to band 8? The way it is being explained/laidout by the brass north of the border I will be graded as band 6, MTo 3's to band 5 and so on. The disparity across the country seems huge and I guees you might find an invasion of us jocks looking for jobs down south. The impresion I get it dosn't really matter what grade we are on at present it comes down to how well we right our job desciptions. Also I am considering voluntering for the training to be a valuator/matcher as this will give me insight into how to right up a JD to enable me and my staff to get better grades than at present being offered.

Hi Double D

you have hit the nail right on the head when you say it is down to JD'S.That is why you should sign them off only after having being fully consulted and B. satisfied that they are a true representation of your current duties.
It is also important to remember that they reflect the duties, as carried out by the postholder over the past twelve months

It should also be noted that chapter three of the agreement is applied. It(ch 3) relates to the experience held by the post holder NOT the experince of a new starter or that of someone recently promoted to a higher grade

Profiles already agrreed are:

Band 4: Medical Engineering Technician (Entry Level
Band 5: Medical Engineering Technician
Band 6: Specialist Medical Engineering Technician
Band 7: Medical Engineering Section Manager;

It is my understanding that all job matchers will be aiming to match to a nationally agreed profile. If you don't meet one fo these profiles you may have to go through the JAQ, details of which are on the AFC website.

Where does an ATO & SATO fit in?

I was wondering the same thing myself and have tried to find information on that,but no one is able to tell me about it clearly.

Hi all.
The fundamental mistake some people are making is that a particular ATO/SATO/MTO grade relates to a particular AFC band.
However the info that came with the Amicus ballot paper suggests Band 4 (national profile).

TOPPER,CAN YOU SEND ME DETAILS OF THE AMICUS INFORMATION.
