  1. Understand the service or work area

    Start with a descriptive guide or existing field explainer. A service grouping is not a job title or licence.

  2. Compare the available role context

    Use the genuine role profiles below where available. Different organizations divide responsibilities differently.

  3. Verify a local route

    Use the jurisdiction-labelled sources in the guide or profile, then check the responsible authority and employer. No automatic eligibility decision is made here.
