Band summaries

The Professorial Equivalent Pay Scheme has three bands with staff banded according to the level at which they are working and their contribution to the University.

Summaries for the three bands are given below.

Band I

Individuals play a senior managerial role with a faculty-wide focus, or within a specialised function of the University. They will have sole and independent responsibility, including budget setting and leadership and management of staff, for a major specialised or technical area that has far reaching effects throughout the University and the sector.

The roles in Band I will have a significant long-term and strategic impact on the University. There may be roles within this band which have a relatively narrow focus, but which have a deep impact, and/or are in an area critical to the University's success. Similarly, roles may straddle a broad range of work streams but with a far reaching sphere of influence.

Band II

Individuals in Band II have responsibility for a section of a major department, or full responsibility for a department and will be part of the management team for the overall function. They play a major role in University-wide activities which have a highly significant impact on the University's sustainability and success.

At this level, individuals have a University-wide sphere of influence or may occupy very senior roles with a narrow strategic specialism which is business critical. Influence is likely to be significant within the HE sector and, where relevant, the professional environment.

Band III

This band is reserved for a small number of the most influential leaders within the University's professorial equivalent staff. These roles lead and have overall responsibility for mission-critical matters across a major part of the University's business.

Individuals in Band III have primary responsibility for setting and implementing strategy to the area of activity and have major influence across the institution, the HE sector and the professional environment at a national level.
