Competency Framework

The ABC Competency Framework has been developed and reviewed over several years in order to achieve a certain set of professional and key behaviours that our team display every day within our roles.

The framework continues to evolve to support our team to be the best they can and to be able to demonstrate this in a fair and consistent manner. It applies to every member of staff, regardless of their role or service that they work for. It considers best practice but also the level at which our team members work in different areas of their job. So although the competency itself will apply to all levels, how it is evidenced within the individual job role may vary.

The competencies will be used for:

• Recruitment and selection – interview questions will be based on these key behaviours to ensure we are bringing the right people into the organisation
  
  
• Performance management including appraisals – to keep checking that we are all displaying the right behaviours that will ensure the success of the council’s aspirations
  
  
• Training and development – to help you as teams and individuals focus on developing key behaviours and characteristics

The 9 basic competencies fall under our three values which are integral to the way we do things around here:
