Job Analysis and Design Services

Clear, compliant job design for Northern Territory public sector teams

Analysing, planning and writing job descriptions and job analysis documentation (JAQs) can be time-consuming — especially when it’s not something you do regularly.

At On The Same Page Consulting, we support Northern Territory Government teams to create clear, compliant and fit-for-purpose job design documentation that reflects real work, real capability and real outcomes.

Our approach is flexible. Whether you need a simple review or a more detailed workforce design process, we tailor the level of support to suit your organisation.

Options, Deliverables and Timelines

We offer three levels of support depending on your needs and where you are in the process.

  • Option 1 — Edit or Benchmark an Existing JAQ

    We review comparable roles, refine your documentation for clarity and compliance, and facilitate a feedback session before finalising for submission.

    Suitable for new roles or where no current documentation exists.

    We conduct stakeholder consultation, analyse relevant frameworks, and prepare a complete JAQ and Job Description that clearly outlines responsibilities, qualifications and expectations.

  • Option 3 — Detailed Job and Workforce Design

    For broader team or organisational needs.

    We provide tailored advice on structure, reporting lines and role alignment, which may include workforce mapping, capability framework analysis and stakeholder workshops.

  • Deliverables

    You’ll receive:

    - A complete Job Analysis Questionnaire (JAQ) ready for HR approval

    - A concise Job Description aligned to NTPS standards

    - Consultation notes and workshop materials where applicable

  • Typical Timeline

    For standard JAQ projects (Options 1 and 2), the process typically takes two to three weeks, including consultation, drafting and review.
