Developing a KSF Outline...
What is a KSF Post Outline?
• Identifies the KSF dimensions and levels that apply to a
post in the NHS – a broad outline
• Puts the outline in context through identifying the specific
areas/activities to which the dimensions and levels are
applied
Who will Develop KSF Post Outlines?
• Partnership approach between management and staff side
• Early implementers have used the following approaches:
• Group work between postholders and their managers
• Joint work between individuals
• Facilitated approaches led by KSF leads in the site
working with postholders and managers
How Do You Identify KSF Post Outlines?
•
Need to use all of the core dimensions
•
Identify the specific dimensions likely to apply to the
main aspects of the post
•
Identify the level at which the dimensions apply – will
need to look at the detail
•
Finally put the post outline in context – by adding the
specific areas/activities that apply to that post
