Managers resourcing toolbox - Talentlink

Training for managers is available on request by contacting the Recruitment Team at recruitment@pkc.gov.uk. 

Our selection processes include reference to our values and behaviours. The below application questionnaires all include the following question:

'Our values and behaviours influence the way we work with each other as well as the people and communities we serve. Please provide examples to describe how you have demonstrated our values and behaviours through your previous experience.'

You should describe situation(s) from the past where you have displayed our values and behaviours. This can be any situation, such as your current or previous work experience, volunteering, or your personal life.

You can find out more in our managers guidance and in the information for candidates on our Why PKC page.
