    how do grades work?
  • Graeme @ BGS October 4, 2010 at 12:14pm
    The duties, responsibilities and/or qualifications determine which grade the agricultural worker is for example: (not the complete list but as a guide)

    Grade two - standard worker who would have a vocational qualification of at least NVQ at level two

    Grade two worker if the work is mainly unsupervised, work with animalsor use powered machinery

    Grade three - lead worker (also needs 2 - 5 years exp).

    Grade four - craft grade - NVQ level three vocational qualification and eight certificates of competence.

    Grade five - supervisory grade

    Grade six - farm management grade
