Job Description for any unit has to come from within the organisation. For example, to write a proper/ adaptable/ expected Role and Job responsibilities, can be done by a person who is his immediate Manager to whom the employee will be reporting. Then his peer group members and last but not the least, his immediate subordinate, about their expectation. You could ask the concerned employees individually to write the respective job descriptions as an exercise in a training session. Thereafter, if you compile all the information so gathered, you will find a 'best, adaptable roles and responsibilities' for the particular staff.
This exercise needs to be done internally. No other firm's roles and responsibilities of staff can be made applicable/ adaptable to that of your organisation as the same would create lot of barriers for the staff to perform in their present service conditions.
I hope my response is clear to you. You may either do it in your training session or engage a trainer to prepare a draft based on the similar exercise and compilation of data.
