How we work in Kingston

We operate a ‘hybrid’ model of working, where staff agree with their team the best model for them to deliver outcomes to their customers/residents and communities, through our Future Workplace programme.

At Kingston, we're not just colleagues; we're a community. Together, we have the power to achieve extraordinary things. By embodying our STAR values - Supportive, Transparent, Appreciative, Respectful - we can create a brighter future for ourselves and the communities we serve.

We offer a modern and flexible working environment for our staff supported by our IT infrastructure, Google Chromebooks and Google Apps, which act as a key enabler for collaborative and streamlined working. 

We operate hybrid working, a flexible working model which allows staff to work from a variety of locations and our staff are not required to work within the office 5 days a week. We measure performance with an outcomes-based approach - offering flexibility to our staff where needed so they benefit from a healthy work life balance whilst still meeting the needs of the organisation, our customers and communities. 

Our main offices are situated on Kingston High Street, a stone’s throw away from our bustling town centre which includes a number of shops, restaurants, bars, the Rose Theatre, market and riverside - the perfect place to spend your lunch break or some down time after work. Learn more about what our High Street has to offer here.
