Role banding: ‘I want fairness for all nurses doing my job’
A specialist school nurse claims his job, graded by his NHS employer at Agenda for Change band 6, should be re-evaluated as a band 7 role. He believes his postgraduate diploma qualifies him for the job evaluation points deemed by official guidance to warrant band 7 banding. His employer states a master’s degree is required at band 7. The nurse points to what he believes is inconsistency between NHS employers in how specialist school nurse roles are banded.
