Kingston and Sutton councils have a number of shared services serving both authorities, with some teams and roles more focussed on one council than the other, but the majority are shared across both, meaning you get multiple opportunities to learn from a wider pool of activities and two different political bodies. We work flexibly in both Kingston and Sutton offices, and support working at home or flexible working patterns that enable you to tailor your working and personal life. We provide the equipment and tools to enable you to work flexibly, and in return ask you to use that flexibility to be creative and ambitious in the services we deliver. There are some really exciting things happening in both boroughs. In Sutton, we are developing the London Cancer Hub, a world leading cancer research and treatment hub that will bring together professionals from across different sectors to identify and test new treatments and therapies. Over in Kingston, we are undertaking the largest housing regeneration programme ever delivered in the borough, building new energy efficient housing that will transform some of our oldest Council owned housing. Both boroughs have publicly committed to doing what they can to tackle the climate emergency and are investing in new technologies and societal change that will help bring carbon emissions down and improve our climate impact. You should choose Kingston and Sutton if you are looking for an opportunity that will challenge you to deliver more, support you to achieve personal ambitions, and expect you to put borough residents at the heart of what you do. Kingston is a beautiful Royal borough with a historic setting on the banks of the Thames with excellent schools and a bustling retail centre, all surrounded by open green spaces such as Richmond Park and Bushey Park, former recreation grounds for Tudor Kings and Queens. The Council is controlled by a Liberal Democrat Administration and has a council plan “Greener, Fairer, Safer, Together”, that sets out a vision to be a vibrant, diverse and inclusive borough where residents are active, empowered, engaged and able to remain independent and resilient. The Council engages with residents through a number of forums and events through the year, and like Sutton plays a leading role in developing the South West Region of London. Sutton is a well connected attractive part of London that has a reputation for excellent schools, green and leafy open spaces, and a history that drives a thriving heritage and culture offer through our museums and libraries. The Council is controlled by a long established Liberal Democrat Administration and has high ambitions set out in its corporate plan “Ambitious for Sutton”, that will ensure Sutton remains a great place to live, work and raise a family.

Going Wild aims to engage local people of all demographics in this endeavour and to increase the skills within the community to record and manage species and habitats.What is Lightfoot?Lightfoot is a not-for-profit organisation whose principal activity is to promote sustainable use of the Earth's resources for the benefit of the public and the environment. An initiative of Bishop's Castle-based Wasteless Society, Lightfoot Enterprises was incorporated in 2008 and became a registered charity in 2013. Lightfoot operates in the Welsh Marches, covering parts of Powys, Herefordshire and Shropshire. There are many local community initiatives that operate within this area and the organisation aims to share and spread ideas and good practice across the whole region, acting as a hub for environmentally-focused activity in Bishop's Castle and beyond and a trusted partner for many cross-border organisations. Lightfoot supports local actions that increase knowledge and understanding of the Climate and Ecological Emergency that we all face, and are supported by a knowledgeable and experienced Board.What is the Going Wild in Bishop's Castle project?Going Wild will build on the evidence of two years of voluntary work to increase the size, biodiversity and interconnectedness of the town's green spaces; making them Bigger, Better, More and Joined Up, increasing engagement and empowering people to act for positive community-based environmental change. Working on 33 sites, and actively managing up to 20, the project will engage the local community and encourage action, both at home and through organised activity. The project will create a 'big vision' allowing everyone to contribute, from a plant pot to a pond, focusing on the power of collective action to improve local green spaces and build community connections. The project will work across the community and across demographics to engage, extending project involvement beyond existing volunteer groups to encourage involvement from disengaged areas of the community and develop social prescribing potential. Community members will be empowered to contribute to the biodiversity of their green spaces and providing opportunities to get up close and personal with nature. Going Wild will create a Biodiversity Toolkit to allow wider communities to benefit from the project with a template for action.
