Job Description
Work with Purpose: Join the Digital Team at Kingston and Sutton Councils
About Us – Two Boroughs, One Mission
When you join our team, you’re not just stepping into one high-performing London borough—you’re becoming part of two. The Royal Borough of Kingston and the London Borough of Sutton share a range of services and a collective commitment to innovation, inclusivity, and service excellence.
While some roles are more aligned with one borough, most of our teams span both councils—giving you an unparalleled opportunity to broaden your impact and experience. Whether working from our offices in Kingston or Sutton—or from the comfort of your home—we’ll support you with the tools, technology, and flexibility you need to thrive.
Innovation at the Heart of Our Boroughs
Both Kingston and Sutton are investing in the future. In Sutton, we’re creating the London Cancer Hub, a world-leading centre for cancer research and treatment. Learn more about the London Cancer Hub.
Meanwhile, Kingston is undergoing the largest housing regeneration in its history, delivering sustainable, energy-efficient homes that transform lives. Both councils are taking bold action on the climate emergency, championing clean energy, smart technologies, and sustainable community solutions.

If you’re passionate about public service, ambitious about your future, and ready to make a difference—this is where you belong.
