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.

Redbridge is an ambitious, diverse and exciting east-London borough. What we do is driven by changing our relationship with local people to support our vision. As a result, we've developed innovative ways to build our communities and transform our Council.
We're one of the fastest growing parts of the country and the third most diverse London borough. Our&nbsp;communities are attracted by a mixture of excellent schools, relatively affordable housing, high-quality open space and rapid transport connections into the heart of the City.
About us:&nbsp;
The Housing Solutions Service has a number of opportunities to join the team at the frontline of preventing and relieving homelessness in the borough. This will be joining a team that is fast paced, where you will be expected to think on your feet, provide innovative solutions, and to support residents to resolve their housing situation using a varied housing solutions toolkit.
We have recently undergone a period of redesign in the service to realign service delivery post-pandemic, which will see a hybrid service offer through an omni channel and improving the digital front door as well as providing an in-person service that is co-located with partners and at different locations within the borough.
The Housing Solutions Officer in key role will be to prevent homelessness by helping customers retain their current accommodation and, where this cannot be achieved, provide access to a range of suitable alternative housing options fulfilling the Council's statutory obligations as set out in the Housing Act 1996 (as amended) and the Homelessness Reduction Act 2017.
&nbsp;About you:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>You will need to have experience of issuing s184 and personal housing plans</li>
<li>You will need to be a collaborator, effective communicator, and have excellent written skills and emotional intelligence to support some of the most vulnerable residents.</li>
<li>You will need to be able to build relationships with internal and external partners.</li>
<li>You will have experience of working in a demanding environment, and you will at times need to think on your feet but have an eye for detail.</li>
<li>You will have experience of using negotiating, influencing and problem-solving skills to achieve positive outcomes for customers</li>
<li>You will have experience of successfully working to performance targets and deadlines</li>
<li>You will need to keep up to date with changes in legislation and case law.</li>
