New recruit, Ryan Higgins (5-22) then helped dismiss Kent for 153, despite 61 from the hosts' opener Daniel Bell-Drummond.
The all-rounder signed from Middlesex, shaped the ball superbly from the Pavilion end, as he claimed his maiden five-wicket haul in first class cricket.
Joe Denly nicked Higgins to the gloves of Gareth Roderick before Darren Stevens was leg-before. Craig Miles took his solitary wicket as Will Gidman nicked behind to Roderick.
Needing 108 to win, Gloucestershire lost Chris Dent early on, before reaching the close on 61-1 with Benny Howell unbeaten on 34.
