What is a Career Pathway?
A Career Pathway is a development plan for an employee to progress in their career. Employees on a career pathway are supported to develop their knowledge, skills, experience and potentially gain qualifications to progress in their career in a specific area.
Career Pathways have an entry level job description which will have a lower salary, and an end level job description which will have a higher salary. A development plan is set out which clearly shows the skills, experiences, knowledge and qualifications that are needed in order to progress through the grades until you reach the end level higher salary job description.
After the job description in this pack, there is a table which shows the relevant criteria for each salary grade within the Pathway. Make sure you clearly set out in the supporting statement of your application how you meet the criteria for the Grade you’re applying for.
