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 Us
Kingston Council prides itself on providing sanctuary to refugees, vulnerable migrants and asylum seekers. In Kingston, we are committed to playing our part in providing a safe and welcoming place for vulnerable people coming to the UK.
As a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, over 10 million people have fled from Ukraine since March 2022, 90% of these are women and children. The Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames (RBK) has a responsibility to support people coming to Kingston under the ‘Homes for Ukraine’ scheme, we need to ensure that they are safe and well integrated into the borough.
The UK national government has set up a “Homes for Ukraine” scheme to allow people to come to the UK from Ukraine. Among the different visa schemes for Ukrainians, this scheme currently has the most duties for the council. As part of this scheme, we have set up a central coordinating team which receives data from the national government and links new arrivals and host families to the various checks, payments and other offers that the council (and partners) are providing to Ukrainian guests and their hosts.
The work of the Kingston United for Ukraine Case Worker is coordinated with other work of the council and partners through the ‘Kingston United for Ukraine’ (KUU) Working Group, meetings which bring together council and external partners.

The role required strong analytical skills, interpersonal skills, ability to see a wider picture to be able to signpost a person to the relevant service or team within the council. A Case Worker has to be able to work independently, with attention to detail. Please see a full Job description for further details.
