Job Evaluation Methodologies for RBGE

Descriptions

RBGE is undertaking pre-market engagement to explore what suppliers can offer and broad understanding of expect costs and timelines. RBGE is an ambitious organisation with plans to further develop our role at the forefront of plant research, education and horticulture. As one of the world’s leading botanic gardens we believe we have a strong existing basis on which to build. We are an organisation with a widely diverse remit, as outlined in our current Corporate Plan. We aspire to be the best across all aspects of everything we do as an organisation, and also as an employer. We aim to invest in our people, striving to be an ‘employer of choice’ and creating a safe and welcoming inclusive workplace that encourages all colleagues to develop, innovate and achieve their full potential. RBGE currently has around 300 staff within five directorates: Science, Horticulture & Visitor Experience, Development & Communications, Resources & Planning, and Learning & Engagement. Our headquarters is in Edinburgh as is one of our gardens, and we have three further gardens across Scotland. We have approximately 100-120 distinct, individual roles. All posts within RBGE are benchmarked currently against our grading guidance which is underpinned by our Job Evaluation and Grading Support (JEGS) process. We also have an established pay and grading structure of 8 grades, labelled A to H.
