**About the Borough** 1

This special place in South West London between the capital and the country has been a Royal borough longer than anywhere else - it is where the first kings of England were crowned.

Today it is a vibrant and diverse borough, with a long history and strong cultural and community heritage. Kingston's riverside location, fantastic retail offer, historic market place and church, parks and gardens all make Kingston town centre the vibrant space it is, and each of our district town centres (Surbiton, New Malden, Tolworth and Chessington) have something unique to offer.

Situated in Zone 6, Kingston is among the best-connected town centres in London - with direct train links from Kingston and Surbiton stations to Clapham Junction and London Waterloo, as well as Wimbledon for an interchange with the London Underground and Tramlink.

Kingston’s people are innovative and entrepreneurial, and have a strong sense of community pride. The borough has been home to great industry and creativity for many years, reflected in assets such as the Rose Theatre, the International Youth Arts Festival and Kingston University, which boasts more new graduate business start-ups than any other.

We have seen tremendous generosity and compassion within our communities, particularly in response to COVID-19, which is a demonstration of Kingston’s key strength. The council offers a strong level of support to vulnerable groups and those who need additional support, which has also increased significantly as a result of the pandemic. Like most places, the average age of our population is rising as more people are living longer, so we are working closely with residents to help them maintain their independence and further improve the cost effectiveness of our service to meet the ongoing rise in demand.

Kingston is home to people from diverse and interesting cultures and backgrounds, which helps to create the rich sense of community shared across the borough. In particular, Kingston has a large Sri Lankan Tamil community and is home to more people from Korea than any other part of the UK.

**About the Role** 1

We have a great opportunity for a support coordinator to join our Mental Health Social Care Team (MHSCT).

The successful applicant will need good people skills, and experience of working in the field of social care, in any setting, in a supporting role, as well as enthusiasm for developing their skills in the field of statutory social work.

A formal social work qualification will not be needed for this post, while an understanding of the statutory framework of social work with adults would be an advantage. RBK has an excellent training programme, and training in areas relevant to the role will be offered.

The successful applicant will support the work of the team by carrying out non complex needs assessments, and make recommendations on support required by the service user. They will carry out reviews of current packages of care, and, following training, will undertake safeguarding investigations as part of the local authority’s statutory responsibilities. They will also take part in the team’s duty rota. They will work under supervision from an experienced and qualified member of the team.

If you enjoy working with people and want to make a difference to the lives of people with mental health problems, this would be an ideal opportunity for you.

**About Us** 1

The Mental Health Social Care Team (MHSCT) forms part of Adult Social Care within the Royal Borough of Kingston (RBK). We are a large, friendly team specialising in working with people with mental health problems, and a variety of other areas of need.

Our main functions are under the Care Act 2014 and Safeguarding. We work closely with our colleagues in the NHS mental health teams, and on mental health wards, as well as partners in primary care, and other teams within the local authority.

Our responsibilities also include working with people with autism who do not have a learning disability, and young people transitioning from children's to adults’ services, without a learning disability. We also have responsibilities under the Care Act 2014 for people with Drug and Alcohol issues.

The team is currently situated on the site of Tolworth Hospital. Post COVID we are operating a hybrid working model composed of working from home, and working in the office.
