Job Descriptions at Your Fingertips

Since the launch of the National Work Description Bank (NWDB) in 2013, over 350 job descriptions have been published, giving access to generic job descriptions for a wide variety of classifications (e.g. AS, CR, CS, EC, IS, PE, PG, PM) from across the branch.

This tool is intended for the use of managers to quickly access information to help with their human resources needs. The NWDB makes searching for generic job descriptions easy. Managers can search by job number, occupational group and level, position title, branch and more. This increased efficiency saves both time and money.

To access the repository of departmental generic job descriptions, visit the National Job Descriptions Bank portal.

Only updated generic job descriptions are available on the NWDB. More will be added as they are finalized and approved.

If the job description needed is not available on the NWDB, managers can submit a request through the Human Resources Service Centre Portal using the General HR Enquiry Form:
