My role seems to include some of the behaviours identified for the levels above mine. Does that mean that my current role is not correctly classified?
No. There will always be differences in the complexity of responsibilities depending on agency location, size and context. Staff in small agencies where resources are limited may find that some of their responsibilities have a broader impact than the roles of same level colleagues in larger agencies. For example an EL2 in a small agency may be required to ‘align business unit activities with strategic priorities’, while the Leadership Pathway describes that as a capability for an SES Band 1. Similarly, an EL2 in a large agency may have a role that does not have the breadth of responsibility found in some roles at the same level in a smaller agency. Agencies will adapt and interpret the ILS to suit their needs.
