Working for us

Our culture: The Westminster Way

At Westminster we foster a culture of openness, transparency and integrity, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and develop to be the very best.

The Westminster Way is the council’s commitment to our staff and is underpinned by three pillars:

  • Personal development: Everyone has talent.
    We want everyone to thrive at Westminster and so we take the time to nurture our own talent – coaching and mentoring our people to be the very best.

  • Value our people and diversity: Everyone is valued
    We embrace our differences, to bring new perspectives to the future challenges of our city.

  • The Westminster Way of working: Everyone is a leader
    At Westminster our people are productive, ambitious, collaborative and enterprising to ensure we provide the best service to our residents. We champion modern and agile working and an open and transparent outlook to the way we work.

We are committed to attracting and recruiting the best talent and making the most of those who are already a valued member of our team.

We are passionate about putting the resources available to us to the best use, prioritising the areas of greatest need and continually seeking out new ways of working efficiently to deliver and pioneer exceptional public services.

We work together to adapt to the changing needs of our communities, resulting in a dynamic atmosphere where ambition, diversity and creativity are celebrated.

We are committed to attracting and recruiting the very best talent from the widest diverse market whilst making the most of those who are already a valued member of our team.

At Westminster City Council, we pride ourselves on being an inclusive workplace and employer of choice. We encourage and welcome applications from people from all backgrounds and aim to have a workforce that, at all levels, represents the communities we serve. We champion equality, diversity, inclusion and wellbeing and aim to create a workplace where everyone feels valued, has a sense of belonging and is empowered to be their best: that is the Westminster Way.
