Can I use these templates for any role in my company?
Yes, these templates were made to be flexible and can be adapted for most roles. Simply go through and edit each section to fit your role.
What is the current contents of the templates?
We have populated the templates with a generic support worker position. You can use the current templates as a starting point and edit them to fit your specific support worker role.
How can I customise the position description for my business?
The best way is to download the Word document version and open it in a word processor e.g Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Once you have it loaded in your word processor, you can edit it to match your specific needs. Otherwise you can just copy and paste the content into your own document.
Can I use the same position description for multiple roles in my company?
It’s generally not recommended. Each role should have a tailored position description that accurately reflects its specific responsibilities and award classification. Using the same description, especially if the position is covered by an award, can lead to compliance issues.
How should I manage my position descriptions?
Many companies rely on shared drives or cloud platforms, but these often become disorganized and can become compliance risks over time. Award Matcher offers a streamlined solution to create and manage position descriptions, ensuring compliance with the modern award system.
How often should I review my position descriptions?
The frequency depends on your business and the position. A good rule of thumb is to review position descriptions every six months or whenever there are significant changes in responsibilities e.g a role gains supervisory duties.
How do I know which modern award classification my support worker position is covered by?
You can refer to the modern awards listed on the Fair Work Commission's website and match the role with the appropriate award and classification level. Alternatively, use our dedicated tool Award Matcher to help you find the modern award classification in a fraction of the time.
