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 YOU

You will be responsible for building and maintaining online forms, case management and workflows within our low code platform (Granicus govService). You’ll work with full stack developers to integrate with back-office systems via APIs. You’ll follow user-centred design principles and ensure your work meets our standards of quality, accessibility and supportability.
You must enjoy working openly, collaboratively and as part of a multi-disciplinary team focused on several projects at a time. Above all, you want to make our digital services better, which may sometimes involve challenging the status quo, solving technical problems and looking for ways to improve efficiency.

ABOUT US

Digital and IT is a shared service between Kingston and Sutton councils providing digital and technology services to both councils as well as a number of arm’s length companies.
We are committed to delivering excellent public services to our residents and local businesses, which is why we place the user, and their needs, at the heart of our agile delivery approach. We are proud of our digital culture and have a team of excellent professionals working across multi-disciplinary teams to run our digital services and build new ones.
Both councils are undertaking significant transformation of their services. We are therefore looking to recruit vibrant, talented people who would be excited to help us build user centred, modern digital services.
