# How to edit the job family of a job

## Applies to: all SkillsTrust platform users

You can change which job family a job belongs to, for example when a job is better grouped with a different set of jobs.

### **Solution overview**

To change a job's family, open the job profile, click **Edit**, then choose a new family from  
the **Job Family** drop-down and save.

1. Select either **Overview** or **Job Catalogue** under the **Job Architecture** section from the left-hand menu.
