What is a matching panel and how do they work?
Matching panels are used to assess all non-academic roles to determine what grade should be applied to each one. they work by comparing the different elements of the job under review against a set of generic levels from which a grade can be determined. Matching panels are carried out for all new non-academic roles or where the content of a job has significantly changed. The panels are composed of manager(s) from the School / Area where the post is situated, a manager from another School / Area and a member of Human Resources. They will consider the role profile and the profiles of similar roles and set the grade for the job. Further information relating to matching panels can be found here.
