Job Description

I wonder if anyone can help me. I am currently in a job evaluation process. I am a Moodle Administrator and have been asked to write my own job description, job evaluation and to suggest a job title. It is hard to find other descriptions on the internet that I can show my managers as a comparison.

Would anyone be kind enough to post their own job descriptions/job titles so that I can use these as a guide?

This is a great opportunity Helen.  Don't forget good laptop, work from home,  3G access so you can work on the train, professional development in Acapulco and annual leave (the first three weeks of each semester).

Bryan, this is fantastic - exactly what I need. Many thanks to you all for your replies. I have had a terrible time trying to gain any recognition for the responsibilities/skills required to manage Moodle but I feel I am getting somewhere now.
