Career Role Profiles

At SEPA, we use a career profile framework to structure our jobs. Each job is matched to a career role profile within a defined activity family. Each profile outlines the core responsibilities and expectations of each individual job matched to that role. Any job-specific information is included in our job adverts.


Every job we advertise is linked to one of these career profiles, giving candidates a clear understanding of the role and its place within SEPA.


The framework supports our organisational structure, aligns with our pay system, and connects to learning plans that help employees grow and develop their careers.
