Behavioural Competency

At Kent, you’ll be trusted to work independently and autonomously, with support when you need it. You’ll bring knowledge of best practices, and you will be willing to support and guide colleagues with less experience. You’ll actively develop and nurture relationships beyond your part of the business, champion change, and seek out new learning and growth opportunities.
