KING’S COLLEGE LONDON

King’s College London has been making the world a better place for almost 200 years.

The staff and alumni of King’s and its constituent institutions made major contributions to 19th-century science, medicine and public life. In the 20th century eight people from King’s institutions were awarded the Nobel Prize.

King’s is rated among the world’s top universities and ranked sixth in the UK for the quality and quantity of its research activity. Since its foundation in 1829 King’s has defined itself in terms of its service to society, and it now has some 30,000 students and more than 8,000 staff members.

King’s Strategic Vision 2029, a strategy which will take the university to its 200th birthday, has pledged that its staff and students will continue to help make the world a better place.

About the Directorate of Estates & Facilities

King’s Directorate of Estates & Facilities is a key enabler of the university’s Strategic Vision 2029 and we have created a strategy which demonstrates our intent and sets out how the Estates & Facilities team will support the ambition of the university’s strategic vision.

Annual Report on Widening Participation and Outreach (WP&O) | 2013–14

Our philosophy has been developed using the Guiding Principles outlined in Vision 2029; we have worked with the teams across the other support

functions, with our academic and research colleagues and our students so that we can ensure that the communities we serve are at the very heart of the directorate’s work. We know that everyone in King’s interacts with our physical assets and relies upon our service delivery therefore they need to: • be seamless • to work • be sustainable and safe • be enabling • support work and learning and; • enable growth As King’s continues to mature and grow the task of developing, maintaining, managing and driving value from our physical infrastructure will become more complex. The Estates & Facilities strategy holds together our vision and ensures we can measurably improve the learning and working experience of our student, staff and partners. Meeting our aims will not be without its challenges. Operating in central London means that King’s has some unique challenges ahead with an ambition to grow student numbers and the level of research we undertake. This means we will need to make wise choices about where we focus our effort and resources. We will need to be clear about how we prioritise activity to ensure our decisions can support the overall purpose of King’s. We have a finite amount of space and resource and it is our job to help King’s manage our assets well. King’s has five campuses in central London consisting of more than 100 buildings ranging in age from the 1780s to the current day. Many are listed and of great architectural significance. The campuses house a diversity of spaces, including teaching and learning environments, cutting edge research facilities, two chapels, cafes and restaurants, gyms and student residences. The Estates & Facilities team employs more than 1000 people with a vast range of expertise and skills, operating and maintaining facilities and providing services to ensure King’s remains one of the world’s top universities.

Benefits of working at King’s Estates & Facilities

At King’s we aim to provide a supportive working environment and offer a range of benefits to help you achieve a balance between your personal and professional lives.

In addition to 27 days leave (plus public holidays and fixed closure days over the Christmas period) and a generous pension scheme (19.5% employer pension contribution), King’s provides a diverse range of employee benefits:

Career development and training – King’s has a strong commitment to organisation development and offers staff a range of opportunities for professional learning.

Financial benefits - King’s provides staff with the opportunity to obtain an interest free loan to pay for their annual travel ticket and provides access to a range of discounted products. The cycle to work scheme allows staff to make substantial savings on the cost of a bicycle, safety equipment and accessories. Facilities and recreation - King’s buildings are equipped with all sorts of facilities to make working life even more enjoyable. For example, King’s provides library services; access to sports facilities, clubs and societies; and themed catering events for staff, serving menus from across the world. Events and lectures are held by different departments on a variety of topics.

Health and wellbeing – King’s encourages staff to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including both physical and mental well-being, and support staff by providing assistance in each of these areas.

King’s runs an Employee Assistance Programme where staff can access independent, free, confidential advice and guidance on a range of practical issues, such as family matters, debt management, relationships, well-being, personal development, life events and more. Staff have access to the King’s College NHS Health Centre (a team of doctors, nurses, and other health workers who provide staff with a confidential health care service), and all King’s staff may register at the Health Centre as their GP regardless of where they live. Staff have access to free eye tests and free dental treatment.

Estates & Facilities committed to new ways of working and collaboration with IT and RMID in 2018 by mov- ing from their offices into a co-located office in Lavington Street, London SE1. We introduced ‘agile working’ which means most of our people don’t have a dedicated desk, this not only ensures space is utilised to the maximum, but it means our people can locate and work with colleagues and teams they need to collaborate with as well as working across the estate, operating in the communities which they may be working with.

This has created an incredibly positive and collaborative working environment that promotes flexible and productive working.
