Careers

Competences

Competences represent the skills, knowledge and behaviours needed to perform effectively in a given role. They are useful because they describe how individuals carry out the tasks in their role and how they are to meet their objectives.

Competences help the performance management process by providing fair and unbiased statements to help Reporting Officers discuss and assess performance with the people they manage. They provide greater clarity of what is required of people to do their jobs.

Core Competence Guidance (47kb)

Framework

The framework is published as a separate document and sets out the competences needed by people in TSol. It applies to all permanent staff at grades up to and including Grade 6, excluding only Legal Trainees. The core competences are linked to Professional Skills for Government (a programme to ensure that all civil servants have the right skills and expertise to meet the challenges of the 21st century) and they support the TSol Values.
