You need to have a job description of yourself as a manager and cascade the content therein for the others incorporating their main areas & duties contained in the above list. Which will also contain educational requirement ,their grade, their salary

This has been covered many times before.
Use the Research Box at the top of the page.
There is a ton of stuff already posted on CiteHR.

I've started working on HR manual and Job Descriptions for major positions.
Will ask you to provide guidance and help as and when required.
