| The
purpose of a job description is to allow you, as an employer, to
account for all aspects of the job you are
offering.
Details
covered in within a job description would be: the job title; who
is accountable for the employee; the location of the job; a brief description
of what the job entails; a list of duties and responsibilities;
hors of work; working conditions and pay.
A
job description clearly defines what the job is about and what can
be expected from the job, and so it benefits both you and your
employee to be clear as to what the job will entail. Additionally,
by sending a copy of a job description to a potential employees
can help to reduce the amount of feedback from people unsuitable
for the job.
As
your company grows, you can built a portfolio of job descriptions
for each job within your organisation which will help you to
prevent task clashes.
On
the right is a sample of a job description, and although its
content is very basic, it should give you an idea how you might
design your own. Remember, adapt your own job description to fit
your own business needs, but try to stick to the same format.
