The Job Description is a broad statement of the purpose, scope and responsibilities essential to performing within the role to a required standard. The defined role and responsibilities will change with technology, working practices and redefining of roles; with this in mind, the process will be reviewed as changes demand. The format does not require every single task to be recorded, instead the Job Description is generic in nature permitting flexibility but describing the boundaries of responsibility and accountability. Powell is committed towards equality in employment.
