KSF Post Outline Information

Approved KSF Outlines in NHSGGC

This link will provide you with information on all KSF post outlines for NHSGGC staff. You will be able to view the title, pay band, all dimensions and levels included in the KSF post outline.

It does not included the level descriptions but you will find these in the documents below and also in the KSF handbook.

Occasionally there may be a KSF Post Outline on the spreadsheet that will not be on TURAS Appraisal. This is because on the day e-KSF was decommissioned the KSF Post Outline was not assigned to any members of staff, only KSF Post Outlines in use were migrated to TURAS Appraisal.
