Appendix A1.6

Personal merit appointments (outline procedure)

Appointments at band G or band PC2 level can be made on a personal merit basis. The following provides a framework for such appointments to be made, whilst maintaining the element of competition necessary under our recruitment procedures:

  • Institute management establishes a prima facie case for a merit appointment (this could be on "structural" grounds; anticipating the need for some exceptional talent; or possibly reflecting retention/recruitment difficulties)
  • The Chair of the Senior Management Review Group (SMRG) accepts the prima facie case, and nominates 2 SMRG members to take part in the selection process, including interviews (see paragraph 3 of the main page of section A6 for further information about the SMRG)
  • The selection process (including job descriptions, person specifications etc.) is monitored by the SMRG secretariat
  • The SMRG members have the authority to agree personal merit appointments on behalf of the Chief Executive, but would consult the SMRG Chair on starting salaries above the SPP
  • The personal merit designation is monitored annually by SMRG, as for all other personal merit holders

Further promotion opportunities are explained in Section A6.
