experience and in consultation with the postholder. The postholder may be required to perform duties other
than those in the job description for the post. The particular duties and responsibilities attached to the post
may vary from time to time without changing the general character of the duties or the level of responsibility

entailed. Such variations are a common occurrence and would not in themselves justify the re-evaluation of a
