What the listing never says

  • No section describes what the person would actually do. Scope clarity
  • No pay range published. Candidates cannot tell whether applying is worth their time. Pay transparency
  • No location or timezone policy stated, so a candidate cannot tell where they may work from. Scope clarity

The listing, marked up

Nothing in the wording of this listing tripped a check. The scores above still judge how complete and coherent it is.

This role is situated in the Strategy and Corporate Governance Unit of the NSWA, working closely with our team of Professional Social Work Advisers to input social work advice across the Scottish Government teams developing policy and legislation which impact on social work statutory duties and practice.

How this was produced

Highlights are found by rule, not by a model: each one is a phrase matched at a known position, and every note is a template we wrote. The two scores come from a typed-decision model (Jev) that reads the listing against the official role definition and real listings for the same role, and returns probabilities rather than prose — it never writes any of the words on this page, and never chooses what to highlight.

Deterministic penalty applied to the HR score: 16 points (from 52 before penalties). Reviewed 29 Sep 2026.
