Using PAYgrade job evaluation to support recruitment and retention

The Orders of St John Care Trust (The OSJCT or Trust) grew organically over years of development. Its expan­sion, from one to four counties, resulted in numerous job roles/descriptions, employee terms and conditions and HR processes. The Trust took the opportunity to develop a ‘One Trust’ approach following a change in HR Director. A funda­mental review of the job evaluation process, formed part of a wider change management programme to create a fair and equitable framework of roles across The OSJCT.

How We Helped The Orders of St John Care Trust

Our Solution

This was an ambitious project. The OSJCT wanted to introduce a brand new grading structure to assess all roles across their 69 homes and 9 extra care housing schemes, across Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire, Gloucester­shire and Wiltshire, within three months.

Paydata re-evaluated The OSJCT’s HR framework, created a new framework for adoption across the Trust and provided training to ensure this was rolled-out efficiently, effectively and completely. The innovative PAYgrade methodology and software package evaluates roles at all levels, from those requiring on-the-job training through to the CEO.
