**About the Borough**

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**

If you join Kingston Council as one of our Housing Heads of Service you will play a key role in achieving our ambitions.

The Council is focused on progressing its thinking to deliver the best possible outcomes for its communities. To do this the Council needs officers who thrive in a networked organisation and who can work corporately, across complex networks and systems and provide strong operational leadership within a strategic context.

As the Head of Service, you will have two main areas of focus:

- A corporate leadership focus, working as part of a wider organisational network that supports the council’s ongoing transformation.
- A functional focus, with leadership responsibility for services, resources and people.

The role reports directly to the Assistant Director of Homes and will be part of a housing management team with responsibility for delivering the whole range of housing services to tenants and leaseholders.

The role will:

- Design the future plans of the Council’s Housing Service. Participate in the development of our 30 year housing business plan, ensuring that it reflects the aims and aspirations of both Members and tenants and that it is sustainable over the long term.
- Our housing service generates income of approximately £35m per year and currently has a capital investment programme plans for improvement of homes totalling £15m.

**About Us**

Kingston is a successful place because throughout its history it has adapted and changed. It has built on its past by embracing the future. The Council wants to continue that journey and has identified the outcomes it wants to strive for with its communities in the new Corporate Plan 2019 - 2023.
- A sustainable approach to new homes, development and infrastructure which benefits our communities in a well maintained borough.
- A safe borough which celebrates our diverse and vibrant communities, with local priorities shaped through participatory democracy.
- Healthy independant and resilient residents, with support for those who need it most.

**About You**

In order to successfully deliver the responsibilities of the role, you will need to:

- Have a degree or equivalent professional qualification, preferably in a relevant discipline
- Have exceptional leadership skills, modelling a strong performance culture and constructively building achievement, confidence and skills in others
- Have significant experience and a proven track record of achievement in leading and managing Housing-foc
