This job profile gives only outline duties. However, in an organisation such as ours, it is inevitable that tasks may arise which do not fall within the list of key tasks. Individuals are therefore required to be flexible in their approach and attitude when tasks arise which are not specifically covered in their job profile. Should an additional responsibility become a regular part of the job, the individual should agree a new job profile with their manager.
