What Are Job Role Profiles?
Job Role Profiles are structured documents that outline the core physical and functional requirements of a specific job. Developed in collaboration with industry, employers, and clinical experts, they identify:
- Essential job tasks and responsibilities
- Physical demands (e.g. lifting, bending, standing duration)
- Cognitive and psychological requirements
- Environmental exposures (e.g. noise, dust, temperature)
- Tools, machinery, or PPE required
- Shift work or travel expectations
When Are Job Role Profiles Used?
Our Job Role Profiles are used as part of:
- Pre-employment assessments – to determine whether a candidate is suited to the role
- Fitness for Work evaluations – to compare a worker’s current capacity with job demands
- Return-to-work planning – to match recovering workers to safe and appropriate duties
- Independent Medical Examinations – to provide context for medical decision-making
- Workplace injury management – to identify suitable duties or redeployment options
- Workplace risk mitigation – to ensure roles are clearly defined and understood
