This is the small print part. We write it really small in the hope that you’ll never read it so we can slip in some stuff about making you clean out the bins or come to work naked and when you get the job and we ask you to do it and you question it, we whip it out, shake it in your face and say “didn’t you read the small print?!!”. But, as you actually are reading it, can we say we are mightily impressed. That attention to detail is the first sign that this could be a match made in heaven. So, you need to know that this job description is a guide to the work you will be initially required to undertake. That means we may change it from time to time to meet changing circumstances. It does not form part of your contract of employment and as your experience grows you will be expected to broaden your tasks, suggest improvements, solve problems and enhance the effectiveness of the role. Obvs. APPARENTLY, IT’S IMPORTANT THAT THIS SENTENCE IS IN CAPS BUT JUST KNOW, WE ARE NOT SHOUTING – THIS FORM SUMMARISES THE MAIN ASPECTS OF THE JOB BUT DOES NOT COVER ALL THE DUTIES THAT THE JOB HOLDER MAY HAVE TO PERFORM.
