Competency Frameworks
Competency Frameworks
To help frame your development in the knowledge & skills needed to deliver research, it's usual that your line manager will ask you to use a competency framework.
Responsibility for development or adoption of a competence framework sits within an organisation, at organisation level, outlining the expectations of the organisation and scope of the role - therefore, you must find out from your line manager which document you should have in place to measure your progress.
If, after that conversation you find you need to put a document in place, there are some examples below which can be used with your line manager's agreement:-
