**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**

As the Head of Property and Facilities Management, you will play a central role in leading the delivery of outstanding property and facilities management services to deliver a compliant, fit for purpose estate, drive income, social value and meet the environmental sustainability target; carbon zero by 2030.

The portfolio includes investment property, community assets and an operational estate which supports delivery of education, social care and leisure and cultural services, as well as council offices and key democratic and civic functions. This is a high profile role fundamental to delivering an ambitious, transformational property asset management strategy to support delivery of our services to our communities.

Duties will also include:

- To provide a proactive property asset management service across 300 properties
- Procure, instruct and manage 3rd party consultants and suppliers
- Provide a customer-focused operation to transform and deliver a good quality, safe, compliant operational occupation of council premises, and allow the service delivery teams to function efficiently.
- Management responsibility of property professionals, contractors and third party suppliers.
- Provide inspirational and constructive leadership to the** **Property Service**_ _**to ensure high performance within a networked operating model.
- Develops operational plans that align to strategy, ensuring that the resources within the team are used to best effect and impact

The postholder will be expected to come into the office at least two days a week and will be reporting into the Assistant Director of Property, Investment and Development.

**About Us**

Like most places, Kingston has been significantly impacted by the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic but the council has adapted the way it works, forging new relationships with its communities and partners and embracing digital tools and ways of working to respond to Kingston's transformation programme. Kingston has an ambition to effect changes in our assets portfolio, and how we use facilities and deliver services in partnership with our residents.

To align with this, the Place directorate has undergone a major restructure and added various roles to the team to enable Kingston to achieve its vision. We work closely across Property including with our colleagues in asset management, health and safety, and facilities management. We are supported by Legal, Finance and Procurement services to help us deliver.
