About the Borough:
Joining us, you get to work for not just one high performing London Borough, but two. Sutton and Kingston councils have a number of shared services serving both authorities, with some teams and roles more focused on one Council than the other, but the majority are shared across both, meaning you get multiple opportunities to learn from a wider pool of activities and two different political bodies.
We work flexibly in both Sutton and Kingston offices, and support working at home or flexible working patterns that enable you to tailor your working and personal life. We provide the equipment and tools to enable you to work flexibly, and in return ask you to use that flexibility to be creative and ambitious in the services we deliver.
There are some exciting developments in both Sutton and Kingston. We are developing the London Cancer Hub, a world-leading cancer research and treatment hub that will bring together professionals from across different sectors to identify and test new treatments and therapies. We are undertaking the largest housing regeneration programme ever delivered in Kingston, building new energy-efficient housing that will transform some of our oldest Council-owned housing. Both boroughs have publicly committed to tackling the climate emergency and are investing in new technologies and societal change that will help bring carbon emissions down and improve our climate impact.
Sutton is a well-connected attractive part of London that has a reputation for excellent schools, green and leafy open spaces. Kingston is a beautiful Royal borough with a historic setting on the banks of the Thames, surrounded by open green spaces such as Richmond Park and Bushey Park.
