**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 are looking for an experienced senior communications and engagement officer to work with the Communication and Engagement Lead, Major Projects to support the activity of the council’s priority regeneration projects. The role will also lead and support communications and engagement activity for other priority projects within the Transform Kingston portfolio, the Reimagining New Malden portfolio, other development sites and other corporate projects/campaigns as required.

**About Us** 1
The Communications and Engagement team delivers high quality, well planned and innovative work in a fast paced environment. We work across the full range of communications disciplines: media relations, social media and digital, campaign design, community engagement, staff communications and engagement, research, consultation techniques and behaviour change methodology. We are agile and responsive, and are committed to excellence and working collectively in the best interests of our colleagues, residents, partners and businesses.

**About You** 1

Applicants should be educated to degree level in a relevant discipline and have strong experience in a relevant public relations, communications or media role. An understanding of the working of local government and the specific demands of working in a political environment would be especially welcomed.
