What is a competency job profile

What is a job profile?

A job is a collection of tasks and responsibilities that need to be undertaken by one person in your organisation. Many people may perform the same job, with each person holding a position. For example, in a supported residence there are many Residential Support Workers who each have a position but all do basically the same job.

Tasks are the distinct identifiable activities that are undertaken by a person doing a job.

Responsibilities are best described as the personal commitments you make to ensure that tasks are carried out when they are required, and in a safe way.

A Job Profile is a written list of the tasks and responsibilities that makes up a job.
Sometimes this is called a Job Analysis. You can create a Job Profile combining the results of interviews with the people you support and with staff who are currently doing the tasks. This information is then matched up with the organisation’s expectations of service delivery. In a large Community Service Organisation a Human Resource professional usually conducts this lengthy exercise. In smaller Community Service Organisations your line management would do this.
