Information requested

Further information about the Job Families and Job Types associated with the 21 professions in the Scottish Government.

Response

1. Confirmation of whether job families or similar sub-groupings exist within each of the 21 professions recognized by the Scottish Government.

All 21 of our Scottish Government professions have a “job architecture” that includes Job Families and associated Job Types. These architectures are dynamic - work is ongoing to improve them and to ensure they reflect changing needs.

2. For those professions that do have job families, a comprehensive breakdown of the job families by profession.

The attached document contains each Profession’s Job Families including definitions, at the end of June 25 (latest version). See pages 2-28.

3. Any available details regarding the associated job roles within each job family.

The attached document contains a full list of Professions and the associated Job Families and Job Types (what the requester calls "job roles"), at the end of June. See pages 28-61.
